Different Flossing Options

Posted .

Did you know there are dozens of dental flosses to choose from at the store? Knowing which floss can work best for you can help keep your smile clean. That is why our team here at Always Dental Care in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, is happy to talk to you about the different flossing options.

Flossing is a dental tool that keeps your smile healthy and works to clean the hard-to-reach places between your teeth and deep along your gum line. Flossing can also reduce the risk of cavities and fight off gum disease. That is why picking the perfect product can make a significant impact on the health of your smile.

Waxed floss is a successful option because it slides easier if your teeth are misaligned or have really tight spaces between your teeth. Unwaxed floss is also a wonderful option, and more popular with properly aligned teeth, so your floss can slide in easily between them. Water flossers also offer benefits with pressure between your teeth, which have been rising more and more in popularity. The best thing to look for on any dental product you buy is the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance, so you know the product has been tested and approved to improve oral health.
