  • Indications and Usage

    Indications
    The use of dental floss is proven to remove up to 80% more plaque between teeth when used as part of your daily oral care regime1.
    Colgate Total Mint Waxed Dental Floss is durable, easy to use dental floss that removes plaque to prevent tartar buildup between dental cleanings. Because plaque build-up can lead to dental disease, daily flossing is highly recommended.1

    Directions for use
    To receive maximum benefits from flossing, use the following proper technique:
    1. Starting with about 45 cm of floss, wind most of the floss around each middle finger, leaving a few cm of floss to work with
    2. Holding the floss tautly between your thumbs and index fingers, slide it gently up-and-down between your teeth
    3. Gently curve the floss around the base of each tooth, making sure you go beneath the gumline. Never snap or force the floss, as this may cut or bruise delicate gum tissue
    4. Use clean sections of floss as you move from tooth to tooth
    5. To remove the floss, use the same back-and-forth motion to bring the floss up and away from the teeth
