FAQs

Can you use super floss more than once? ›

Super Floss is a little more expensive and can't be reused but it's a very convenient way to floss because it's premeasured and it has the treader attached to it. It's one very long piece of floss with regular floss and spongey floss that helps to clean areas where there is no buildup.

Superfloss is a special kind of dental floss that comes in pre-cut segments. The ends are still and thin, which helps you to thread it through tight areas. It also has a fuzzy tufted segment that removes plaque as you floss.

If you find that regular floss slides in very easily or you see significant gaps in-between your teeth, it is advisable to use a broader or flat floss called "dental tape" that reaches all the surfaces.

How to use dental floss. Flossing isn't just for dislodging food wedged between your teeth. Regular flossing may also reduce gum disease and bad breath by removing plaque that forms along the gum line. It's best to floss before brushing your teeth.

Floss picks are typically designed for single-use, promoting oral hygiene and preventing the reintroduction of bacteria into the mouth. The concept of reusing them is not recommended by dental professionals, as their integrity and effectiveness can diminish after one use.

Floss all of your teeth, including your dental bridge, at least once a day. Make sure that you insert your floss in between each tooth. You should hear a “pop.”

No matter which flossing option you choose, be sure to follow a thorough oral hygiene routine of brushing twice daily and flossing at least once a day to help maintain a healthy smile.

First use the stiff end to insert between the teeth. Pull the superfloss through and use the spongy end to clean and sweep under the 'pontic' – the false bridge tooth. Then pull the normal floss through and floss the abutment teeth – the teeth supporting the bridge.

The upper part of the Super floss resembles a 10 cm long, strong plastic line with the aid of which the dental floss can be guided beneath the pontic and between the teeth. This is the end that needs to be introduced between the teeth and underneath the replacement tooth.

What is the healthiest dental floss to use? ›

After you slide the floss between your teeth, you should bend it around the tooth and let it plunge beneath the gum line (in a perfect world, it should plunge around 2 – 3 millimeters down).

There is no need to pull the floss at the level of your gum tissue. If your gums aren't healthy, they may bleed, or you can experience pain. If you regularly put pressure on your gums with floss, you could create lasting damage in the tissue in the form of a furrow or cleft. Don't risk it.

While it's better to floss with a floss pick than to not floss at all, it's important to note that floss picks can only clean a part of the tooth's surface. Doctor Theuer recommends traditional floss or dental tape. Here's why: A floss pick holds just a small length of floss stretched in a straight line.

Superfloss is quicker and easier than floss threaders. However, it should be noted that they are a one-time use product, meaning you will use a new piece and throw it away each time.

Many threaders are reusable, but others are disposable. If you're choosing a reusable option, be sure to rinse with warm water after every use.

By flossing daily, you remove more of the plaque that can build up underneath the gum line, preventing it from hardening into tartar. Flossing twice a day can be especially beneficial if you eat a diet with an abundance of hard, sticky, and stringy foods. These foods are more likely to get caught in between your teeth.
