Waxed Floss 1 article

Waxed Floss is dental floss coated with wax to reduce friction, help filaments stay together and make the strand easier to pass through some tooth contacts. The user still cleans by wrapping the floss against each proximal surface and moving it through the interdental area; the coating affects handling rather than the basic mechanism. Wax composition and filament material vary between products. The term is contrasted with unwaxed floss and does not imply a particular thickness, flavor or clinical indication such as bridge or orthodontic cleaning.
