FAQs

How much floss should I use per tooth?

It is recommended to use about 45-50 cm of floss, winding most of it around one middle finger and the rest around the other. Use a clean section of floss for each tooth.

Can I use this floss if I have braces?

Yes, Oral-B Essential Floss can be used with braces, but it requires extra care to navigate around the brackets and wires to avoid damage or snagging.

How often should I floss?

For optimal oral health, flossing at least once a day, preferably in the evening after brushing, is recommended by dental professionals.

Is this floss suitable for sensitive gums?

The waxed coating and shred-resistant nature aim to make it gentle, but if you experience gum irritation, consult your dentist. Gentle technique is key for sensitive gums.

What is the difference between waxed and unwaxed floss?

Waxed floss has a thin coating of wax, which helps it slide more easily between teeth and reduces shredding. Unwaxed floss is thinner and may fit into tighter spaces more easily but can be more prone to shredding.

How long does one roll of floss last?

With daily use, a 50-meter roll typically lasts approximately 1-1.5 months.

Troubleshooting

Floss shreds or breaks easily.

Ensure you are using gentle, steady pressure and not forcing the floss. If shredding persists, try a different section of the floss or a different type of floss if preferred.

Difficulty sliding floss between teeth.

Use a back-and-forth sawing motion gently. Ensure the floss is properly positioned and not caught on any rough surfaces of the teeth. The waxed coating is designed to aid in sliding.

Mint flavor is too strong or too weak.

Flavor preference is subjective. If the mint is not to your liking, consider trying other Oral-B floss varieties or unflavored options.
