Floss or dental tape?!


Question: which is better, and which do you use?


Answers: which is better, and which do you use?

It really depends on what type of embrasures you have (the contact between your teeth). If you have type 1, meaning you have no recession of the gum tissue between your teeth then you should use floss.

If you have type 2 or 3 embrasures, meaning there is gum recession or no gum tissue between your teeth then you should use tape. Also, you should use tape between teeth with visible spaces and the last tooth in each quadrant of your mouth.

I like floss best, dental tape is too wide.

Use floss, the tape is for special circumstances. We especially recommend Glide Floss as it goes between teeth easier.

Depends on your teeth. People with really tight teeth should use floss. People with more space between their teeth may find floss does not clean as well as dental tape b/c it is thicker and larger for people with more spacing.
