Oral hygiene is not complete without the use of dental floss<\/strong>. It is an essential part of the cleaning of the mouth, along with brushing and rinses that we sell in Foramen<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

There is no excuse not to use it and in the market we will be able to find the one that best suits our tastes, as there are waxed, unwaxed and with different shapes and compounds.<\/p>\n\n

How do we select the best one for us?<\/h2>\n\n

Before using dental floss <\/a>, it is necessary to choose among the different varieties. For example, if our teeth are very close together, we can opt for unwaxed floss, since it gets into small spaces.<\/p>\n\n

It can break when fraying, so if this happens frequently, it is better to purchase the one with wax<\/strong>. It is thicker and stronger than the previous one, but has the disadvantage that the wax makes it difficult to access narrow areas.<\/p>\n\n

Another option is dental tape<\/a>. It is much wider than the thread and can be purchased with or without wax. When our teeth are a little further apart, it works better than floss and is more comfortable.<\/p>\n\n

If none of the above convinces us, there is a yarn called PTFE which is made of a material very similar to Gore-Tex. It is excellent at sliding between teeth and resists fraying very well, although it tends to be more expensive.<\/p>\n\n

Superfloos dental floss closes the list. It looks like wool and has rigid sections at the ends with which dental appliances or bridges can be cleaned very well.<\/p>\n
