What's the difference between dental floss and dental tape?!


Question: What's the difference between dental floss and dental tape?
Answers:

Floss has a round cross section and the tape has a very thin almost rectangular cross section. They are both floss, but tape looks flat up close. Usually you use tape if you have tight contacts between the teeth. People who have tight contacts shred floss when they use it and have to use the tape instead.
