Butlerweave unwaxed floss
Unwaxed woven dental floss cleans plaque and food from tooth contacts and along the gumline.
The short answer
It is a textured thread made from joined nylon fibers. Its fit and gentle C-shaped motion matter more than the label.
How should textured floss be used below the gum edge?
Guide it through each contact, curve it around each tooth, and move it up and down below the gum edge. Replace the section for each space.
When should flossing problems be checked by a dentist?
Arrange an examination if bleeding persists or floss repeatedly catches or shreds, because calculus, decay, or a rough restoration may be present.
Which floss or interdental tool fits each contact?
Ask whether this floss fits each contact and whether an interdental brush or threader would work better.
