Because wellness should be easy — and a little fun, too.
What does "expandable" mean and how does it improve cleaning?
The floss is engineered to expand as it moves between your teeth, increasing its surface area on contact. This allows it to wrap more fully around each tooth surface and reach deeper into tight spaces compared to standard fixed-width floss, giving you more coverage with every pass.
How does the peppermint flavor enhance the experience?
The hint of peppermint delivers a refreshing burst of freshness during flossing that lingers even after you're done. It makes the routine more enjoyable and leaves your mouth feeling clean and fresh as part of your daily oral care regimen.
Why is this floss waxed?
The wax coating gives the floss a smooth, soft texture that slides easily between teeth—particularly in tight contacts where unwaxed floss can catch, snap, or shred. It also reduces friction against gum tissue, making it gentle for everyday use.
How is expandable floss different from regular floss?
Standard floss maintains the same thickness throughout use. This expandable floss starts slim for easy insertion between teeth, then widens as it works between surfaces—cleaning more of each tooth's contact area and gumline than a thinner strand would on its own.
How much floss should I use per use?
Dispense about 18 inches (45 cm) per session. Wrap the ends around your index fingers until a 3-inch working section remains and advance to a clean section of floss as you move from tooth to tooth to avoid spreading bacteria around your mouth.
How often should I floss?
Floss after every meal when possible, or at minimum twice daily, to maintain good oral hygiene. Consistent flossing removes plaque and debris from between teeth and below the gumline where your toothbrush can't reach.
Why should I use dental floss if I already brush my teeth?
Brushing cleans the accessible surfaces of your teeth, while flossing helps clean between teeth and along areas a toothbrush may not reach.
Does peppermint floss make flossing feel fresher?
Yes. The refreshing peppermint flavor adds a cool, fresh sensation while flossing, making the experience more pleasant.
