Types of Dental Floss

There are many possibilities to choose from when it comes to dental floss. Some come in different colors and others come with different flavors.

Floss comes in either self-dispensing boxes, or special single-use holders. The special holders make flossing easier for those with arthritis or other dexterity problems.

People with extremely tight space between teeth might prefer waxed floss, as the wax makes the floss more slippery and, although it does tend to fray more, allows it to squeeze into tight spaces easier. On the other hand, someone with larger spaces between teeth might use wide floss, which is more effective for the larger spaces, as well as for people with delicate bridgework.
