  2. Flossing helps you keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible. Here you can find information on different types of dental floss. ■ Unwaxed floss: A thin nylon floss made with approx. 35 strands twisted together. Fits into tight spaces if your teeth are close together, but it can be susceptible to breaking. ■ Waxed floss: A standard nylon floss with a light wax coating. Compared to unwaxed floss, it is less likely to break. Yet the wax coating may make it harder to use in tight spots. ■ Dental tape: Dental tape is broader and flatter than standard floss and comes in waxed or unwaxed versions. People with less closeness between their teeth find dental tape more comfortable to use than standard floss.

  3. ■ Polytetrafluorethylene floss (PTFE): Same material used in high-tech Gore-Tex fabric. PTFE floss slides between the teeth easily and is less likely to shred or break compared to standard floss. ■ Super flosses: Made from yarn-like material, it has stiffer sections on each end that can be used to clean around braces or dental bridges.
