FAQs
What makes Smart Floss different from regular floss?
Smart Floss is unique because its fibers expand as you use it, allowing it to gently clean more tooth surface and along the gumline than traditional floss.
Is this floss suitable for sensitive gums?
Yes, the expanding nature of the floss makes it softer and gentler on gums, reducing the likelihood of irritation and discomfort.
Is the mint flavor natural?
Yes, the floss is infused with a crisp, organic mint flavor.
What does 'No PTFE & PFAS' mean for me?
It means the floss is free from these synthetic chemicals, offering a cleaner and potentially safer option for your oral hygiene routine.
Can I use this floss if I have braces?
Yes, with careful technique, the floss can be used around braces. The expanding fibers can help clean areas traditional floss might miss.
How long does a 30-yard container typically last?
Usage varies, but a 30-yard container generally lasts an average user several weeks to a month when used once daily.
Is the product environmentally friendly?
The product is vegan, does not involve animal testing, and is free from harmful chemicals like PTFE and PFAS, aligning with eco-conscious practices.
Troubleshooting
Floss breaks easily
Ensure you are not applying excessive force. The expanding fibers are strong but can fray if forced against sharp edges or used too aggressively. Try a gentler back-and-forth sawing motion.
Difficulty getting floss between teeth
Use a gentle sawing motion to ease the floss into the interdental space. The plant wax coating helps with glide. If still difficult, try a slightly shorter piece of floss and ensure it's not twisted.
Mint flavor is too strong or not noticeable
Flavor intensity can vary. For a stronger mint experience, ensure the floss is fresh and has been stored correctly. If too strong, rinsing after flossing can help.
Floss feels 'fuzzy' or different
This is the intended expansion of the Smart Floss fibers. It is designed to expand to gently clean more tooth surface. This texture is normal and part of its cleaning mechanism.
