Knowing how to floss your teeth is not enough. You should also pick suitable floss. The main types of floss are:
Nylon: Multifilament floss made of soft threads of nylon. It’s thin and easy to grip, but it tears easily.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE): Monofilament floss made of Teflon. It’s tear-resistant and easy-to-use, but more expensive.
