Key features & specs

How it compares

Unlike standard nylon flosses that can slice into gum tissue, the Smart Floss utilizes a patented expanding technology that cushions the contact while increasing surface area for cleaning. When compared to traditional plastic-bottled floss or synthetic PTFE tapes, this product offers a significantly lower carbon footprint and avoids the 'forever chemicals' often found in glide-style alternatives. It provides a tactile grip that outperforms silk-based options which can often be too slippery or prone to snapping.

How to use it

1. Pull approximately 18 inches of floss from the biodegradable dispenser.
2. Wrap the ends around your middle fingers, leaving about two inches of floss to work with.
3. Gently curve the floss around the base of each tooth in a 'C' shape.
4. Slide the floss up and down against the tooth surface and under the gumline.
5. As you move to the next tooth, use a clean section of the expanding fiber.
6. Dispose of the used floss in your organic waste bin after use.

"The expansion of the fibers makes a noticeable difference in how clean my mouth feels compared to thin tapes; it is the only biodegradable floss I've found that doesn't shred instantly." — Verified buyer

Sustainability & ethics

DrTung's utilizes a proprietary FSC-certified paperboard dispenser that eliminates the need for plastic waste. The floss itself is designed to break down in landfill conditions much faster than synthetic nylon, and the brand ensures that no animal byproducts like beeswax or silk are used in the manufacturing process, opting instead for plant-based waxes and natural cardamom oil for flavor.

No, DrTung's Smart Floss is completely free of PFAS, PTFE, and other harmful synthetic chemicals.
