Corsodyl daily expanding floss
Expanding floss is a soft interdental thread that spreads slightly between teeth to clean plaque and food from contact areas.
How does expanding floss clean between the teeth?
Expanding floss is a soft interdental thread that spreads slightly between teeth to clean plaque and food from contact areas.
How does expanding floss differ from mouthwash?
Floss works by sliding against the tooth surfaces below the contact, including the side facing the gum margin; chlorhexidine mouthwash is a separate product and is not a substitute for cleaning.
How should you use expanding floss safely?
Use a clean section for each space, guide the thread gently through the contact, curve it around each tooth, and stop if it repeatedly shreds or cannot pass.
When should flossing problems be checked by a dentist?
Arrange a check if flossing causes persistent bleeding, pain, swelling, or a trapped contact, since these may reflect inflammation, calculus, decay, or a faulty restoration.
Which interdental cleaner suits each of your spaces?
Ask which floss or interdental brush fits each space and whether a chlorhexidine product is actually indicated and for how long.
