Description

Interdental areas are often difficult to clean as toothbrush bristles cannot reach them, leading to easy plaque accumulation. Dentists recommend cleaning interdental spaces 1-2 times a day.

Usage:
Take a new floss pick from the package and hold the plastic handle. Clean all interdental spaces by gently guiding the floss between teeth, moving it back and forth and up and down. Move the floss gently to avoid gum injury. After flossing, it is recommended to rinse your mouth.

Xylitol’s Contribution to Oral Hygiene:
A key aspect of oral hygiene is the removal of dental plaque. Xylitol reduces plaque by lowering bacterial levels, thus supporting overall oral hygiene (4).
