Listerine cinnamon floss

Woven floss is made from multiple filaments arranged as a broader, soft strand rather than one smooth thread. The flavouring is a sensory additive, while the cleaning action comes from sliding the strand against the tooth surfaces below the contact and beside the gumline.

A dentist or hygienist checks whether the strand passes through each contact without fraying, then recommends floss, tape, an interdental brush, or a threader for that space. Bridges and orthodontic appliances often require cleaning under the appliance as well as between natural teeth.

Use a fresh section, guide it through the contact without snapping, curve it around each tooth, and move it gently below the gum edge. Stop and change method if it repeatedly shreds, gets stuck, or causes persistent soreness, and do not use flavour as a substitute for mechanical cleaning.

Seek advice for repeated bleeding, swelling, pain, food trapping, or a contact where floss cannot pass. A hygienist can check calculus, overhanging fillings, open contacts, and the best size of interdental aid.

Ask whether woven floss fits each space, whether an interdental brush is more effective in wider gaps, and how to clean around any bridge, implant, or braces.
