But while the Cocofloss doesn’t quite “glide” into teeth and takes a little more effort to use than my typical Oral-B Glide, that effort results in more caught plaque and cleaner teeth. The “flavors” are also more of a scent than a taste, so you don’t feel the need to brush your teeth again.

Just as a thicker floss is more suitable for larger spaces, a thinner floss is recommend when the spaces between your teeth are smaller. Avoid floss that is branded as “tape” or “super” as these will tend to be thicker and will have difficulty fitting between your teeth.

In general, unwaxed floss has been considered the best because the individual filaments of the floss typically clean more effectively than waxed floss where the filaments are bound together.

Regular flossing may also reduce gum disease and bad breath by removing plaque that forms along the gum line. It’s best to floss before brushing your teeth. Take 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45cm) of floss or dental tape and grasp it so you have a couple of inches of floss taut between your hands.
