Butlerweave waxed floss

Butlerweave waxed floss is a coated dental floss that can slide through tight contacts while removing plaque between teeth.

Wax-coated floss is designed to pass through tight or uneven contacts. The cleaning action comes from wrapping the strand against each tooth and moving it below the gum edge.

Guide it gently through the contact, curve it into a C shape against one tooth, and move it up and down. Repeat on the neighbouring tooth without snapping the strand into the gum.

Ask for an assessment if floss shreds, cannot pass, or bleeding continues after regular gentle cleaning.

Ask whether waxed floss fits your contacts, whether an interdental brush would work better, and how to clean around dental work.
