See update from my dentist
UPDATE: I went to the dentist yesterday after using this floss for a few months. She asked if I had stopped flossing because I had buildup on my gum line and my gums were inflamed. She said this floss is too thick and it doesn’t reach under the gums as well to clean them. That’s all I needed to hear, I’m done with this floss and going back to my regular stuff. Leaving two stars because the idea of compostable, zero waste floss is cool, but not at the risk of my oral health.<br /><br />I am addicted to flossing. I floss every single day, with few exceptions. Over the years I have tried many different kinds of floss, and this one is hands down my favorite. It’s thick and textured enough to clean between my teeth better than regular floss, but it’s waxed and can glide through the tighter spaces with zero problems. It doesn’t shred, it doesn’t break, it cleans better than other floss, and it can go straight into the compost bin when I’m done. I love this floss.<br /><br />The only drawback is that I go through floss pretty quickly, and you get a lot less floss for a lot more money with this stuff. However, both this product and the refills are cheaper on the manufacturer’s website than they are on Amazon. I will be ordering refills directly from Dental Lace. I think it’s worth the extra cost for an effective, zero-waste product.
