Dr. Tung'S Smart Floss, 30 Yds, Natural Cardamom Flavor 1 Ea Colors May Vary Pack Of 7

For years, I'd been using Oral B Advanced floss, and for years, every time I went to the dentist, the tech would ask, "Are you flossing at least daily?" and then skeptically ask me to demonstrate how I flossed in case there was something wrong with my technique. The most recent time, I asked my dentist what she recommended, and she said, "I've tried several different natural fiber flosses, but I really like Dr. Tung's. You can find it on Amazon." (She gave a more detailed review, but I'll get to that shortly.) One of the problems I've always had with Oral B, besides it apparently not doing a great job actually flossing, was that the strands broke easily. I'd end up using and wasting a lot of it because of that. And I've yet to actually break a strand of Dr. Tung's, so even though it costs more than Oral B, I'm using a lot less of it. The fiber also expands while in use, which makes it clean better. My dentist specifically mentioned that in her recommendation. I'll see in 5 months or so when I go back to the dentist for my next cleaning if that's made a difference at all, but it *feels* like it's doing a better job at cleaning down around the sides and bases of my teeth. It feels a bit tight going between some of my teeth, in fact. I could honestly use a different flavor; I'm meh on cardamom. But I care more about how well it works. Overall, I'm quite pleased. I have yet to cut my fingers using it (yes, on a few occasions, the thin, highly-waxed Oral B actually cut the side of my index finger near the top joint, where I usually wrap the floss around my finger!), which is something the manufacturer calls out in their advertising ("gentler on gums, softer on fingers"). My gums feel healthier, and I expect the one problem spot my dental hygienist always insisted I needed to do a better job flossing ("really work it down next to the gum along the edge of the tooth root") should do better next time I go in for an exam, too.

Colgate used to have a gum specific floss that had a wider, weave texture, but they discontinued that. This floss was recommended by my dentist and I’m so glad they told me about it. This floss is soft and wide and really great for big gaps. I highly recommend. I think it’s worth the cost. I have not found anything that comes near It’s quality. Especially like the paper box container rather than a plastic. It does become flimsy because of daily use, but I don’t mind. I’d rather a fumble with the paper box than a plastic container. The floss stays contained as long as you’re careful.

The floss is great but the pack of 7 only has 6.

Dr. Tung's dental floss is excellent for your teeth. It was recommended to me by my dental hygienist. I didn't even know that most name brands contain PFAS.

This is a fantastic floss. It is unique, does the job better than any other flaws I have used and the flavors are great.
