dental floss

Dental floss is a thin, flexible string used to clean between teeth, where a toothbrush can’t reach. It helps remove plaque, food particles, and debris from tight spaces, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Flossing daily can improve oral hygiene by promoting healthier gums and fresh breath. There are various types of floss, including waxed, unwaxed, flavored, and dental tape, catering to different preferences and needs. Regular use, alongside brushing, is essential for maintaining overall dental health and preventing tooth decay.
