Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike waxed nylon flosses that can shred and slide between teeth, DrTung's Smart Floss expands for a snug fit. Compared to bamboo charcoal flosses, this product is made from natural resins and candelilla wax, offering a more durable, non-fraying experience. It also outperforms standard floss picks because it reaches all tooth surfaces, even in tight spaces.

What to know before buying

1. Cut about 18 inches of floss—this ensures you have a clean section for each tooth.
2. Wrap the ends around your middle fingers, leaving a 1-2 inch working section.
3. Slide gently between teeth, using a sawing motion; the floss expands as it contacts moisture.
4. Curve the floss into a C-shape around each tooth and glide below the gumline.
5. Use a fresh section for each tooth to avoid redistributing bacteria.
6. After use, dispose in compost if local facility accepts candelilla wax, or in regular trash—it will biodegrade in landfill conditions.

"I have very sensitive gums and most flosses leave them sore and bleeding. DrTung's Smart Floss is a game-changer—it glides in easily and actually expands to clean better. My hygienist noticed a huge difference at my last checkup." — Verified buyer
