Spearmint, Tom's of Maine
Flossing is an important part of one's oral care regimen, allowing you to remove plaque and particles that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease from places between teeth that brushing can't reach. Our Natural Antiplaque Flat Floss is made of many strong nylon filaments woven together to prevent snapping or fraying. Prepared with a unique combination of natural waxes, our floss glides smoothly between teeth and is gentle on gums, and its flat shape and broader surface lets you clean each tooth efficiently and thoroughly.
