Types of Floss
Dental floss comes in a variety of colors, materials and even flavors.
Waxed varieties are slipperier, allowing people with extremely tight
spaces between their teeth to floss more easily. Popular flavors of
floss include wintergreen and cinnamon. Waxed floss does tend to fray
more than unwaxed floss.
A type of material called wide floss can be effective for
people with large spaces between their teeth, or for people with
delicate bridge work.
Floss can be purchased in small self-dispensing boxes. Floss
can also be purchased in special, single-use holders, which are useful
for people who have a hard time wrapping floss around their fingers,
including those with dexterity problems or arthritis.
