Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to traditional waxed flosses like Oral-B Essential Floss, the Burst product expands to capture more debris and stains. It is less fragile than bamboo charcoal flosses, offering a smoother glide. Against DrTung's Smart Floss, Burst is more budget-friendly and has a stronger flavor profile, but both expand and are vegan.

How to use it

1. Draw out 18 inches of floss and wrap around your middle fingers.
2. Slide the floss gently between each tooth; the expanding fibers will spread out to contact all surfaces.
3. Curve the floss in a C-shape around the tooth, moving up and down to dislodge plaque and stains.
4. Use a fresh section for each gap to avoid transferring bacteria.
5. Rinse your mouth after flossing for best results.
6. Dispose of the used floss in regular trash—it is not designed for home composting due to the coating.

Sustainability & ethics

Burst uses a blend of plant-based and synthetic materials that are PFAS-free and vegan. The floss comes in a recyclable plastic dispenser (made from 50% recycled materials) with a cardboard sleeve. The brand has been Leaping Bunny certified and does not test on animals, though overall the packaging has some plastic content compared to fully zero-waste competitors.

Frequently asked questions

Is Burst Expanding Dental Floss biodegradable?

The floss fibers are designed to be biodegradable, but the coating may slow breakdown; it is not certified home compostable.

Does this floss help with teeth whitening?

While it does not contain whitening agents, the floss's expanding fibers physically absorb surface stains from coffee and wine, which can contribute to a brighter appearance over time.

Is Burst floss safe for sensitive gums?

Yes, the expanding material is gentle on gums; however, if you have extremely sensitive tissue, start with gentle pressure and consult your dentist.

How does Burst floss compare to regular waxed floss?

Unlike smooth waxed floss that can slide past debris, Burst expands to trap particles, making it more effective for plaque removal in wide gaps.

Can I use this with braces or retainers?

It is not recommended for use with braces, as the expanding fibers may get caught; opt for a specialized orthodontic floss instead.
