A very common question I come across with my patients is “is there a difference in floss and which one should I use?”
So I tell them..yes there is a difference in the different brands of floss in the market. There are some like “Glide” that is a bit thinner. Then there is “Cocofloss” which is a bit thicker. The type of floss to use depends on each individual’s situation. For example, sometimes I recommend a thicker type of floss like “cocofloss” for someone that has more than normal spacing in between their teeth. A thinner floss can sometimes “slide by” the bigger pieces of plaque if the space is too big. Bottomline is, dentistry should be personalized for the best care, even when it comes down to the “at home” tools being used and thankfully there are many different types of floss out there.
