Interdental Cleaning

 Dental Floss is a thin, strong filament—available in materials like nylon or PTFE and forms such as waxed, unwaxed, or tape—designed specifically for the mechanical removal of dental plaque biofilm and debris from between teeth (interdental spaces) and below the gumline. Its daily use is a critical, evidence-based practice for preventing interdental tooth decay (caries) and gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis), forming an indispensable part of a complete oral hygiene routine. Proper technique is essential to avoid gum injury and ensure effective cleaning.
