The point of flossing is to get plaque away from the sides of your teeth from areas your toothbrush can't reach. But any dental pro will tell you that flossing incorrectly, too roughly, or too often can irritate the gums and cause problems. So, treat your gums and teeth as friends and clean them gently but thoroughly with dental floss. By doing so, flossing is a low-risk, easy habit that prevents tooth decay or periodontitis, and even tooth loss.
Well, it depends. Interdental brushes are generally more effective at removing plaque and reducing inflammation than dental floss, especially in areas with wider spaces between teeth. Dental floss, on the other hand, can reach narrower spaces that brushes can't. The best choice depends on your individual needs, maybe a combination of both is most effective. So, there’s no «dental floss vs interdental brushes»—it is more of a successful cooperation.
This should be determined together with your dental professional, depending on the shape and size of the interdental space. When interdental spaces around implants are very small or have particular shapes, floss may play a role. However, since it can shred, and fragments may become trapped in the gum, potentially causing an infection—especially dangerous if bone loss around the implant has already occurred–floss use around implants should be limited. In contrast, the use of interdental brushes around implants is recommended. Our range of interdental brushes—CPS implant, CPS perio, and CPS prime—provides a perfect alternative, cleaning thoroughly yet gently.
Waxed dental floss is exactly what the name suggests: regular dental floss with a wax coating. Is waxed or unwaxed floss more effective? Both waxed and unwaxed floss are great choices for cleaning narrow gaps between teeth. At the end of the day, use the floss that feels best to you. The biggest contributor to flossing's effectiveness is based on doing it as a part of your daily oral hygiene routine, so select the type you’re most likely to use.
There is no universal answer. Brushing your teeth is always a matter of individual preference, and this is also true when it comes to cleaning your interdental spaces. Please note: a thorough daily dental routine is what matters most—not whether you clean your interdental spaces before or after brushing your teeth. You are right on track if you clean your interdental spaces properly on a regular basis.
