drTung'sSmart Floss - Natural, PTFE & PFAS Free Floss, Gentle on Gums, Expands & Stretches, BPA Free Floss - Natural Dental Floss Cardamom Flavor (Pack of 2)

Best I've found! I previously used Glide floss but wanted to get away from the chemicals, so I tried Cocofloss but wasn't impressed. My dentist recommended this Dr. Tung's Smart Floss and I really like it. I have some tight teeth and many types of floss will easily shred on my teeth. This Dr. Tung's does not shred too much, and times when it does slightly tear it doesn't shred in a way of ripping or getting stuck in teeth. It also has an ingenious way of expanding when not pulled tight, so it can do great cleaning between teeth. Highly recommend giving it a try. And great minimal packaging that actually offers the easiest and most effective dispensing of a floss. Easy, Effective, Earth-friendly.

AWESOME !! Best floss I've ever used. Love the packaging and it's so easy to cut off the length you want with the built in tool on the package. So convenient. And, Dr. Tungs floss has 'no' PTFE nor PFAS. This is a clean product and I like it much better than Oral B (which the string often breaks inside and then you have to roll the string out by hand - too much work and waste - and Oral B has the bad chemicals PTFE and PFAS that you are lacing into your gums). Ugh. I will be buying Dr. Tungs floss from now on.

I had been a long-time (probably 15 years) user of Glide floss, up until very recently when Glide changed their floss design to become horrendous. I started looking for a Glide replacement, namely something that would fit between my tighter tooth gaps. I also had a secondary goal of trying to find floss that might have less plastic in it.I tried some silk flosses, but those were all a bit too thick and required more work to get in between my teeth, plus they were more like thread, which made them a bit more "sharp" than Glide.Then I tried Dr. Tung's floss, and I was sold right away. It fits between my teeth almost as well as the original Glide style, but it easily cleans *twice* as well as Glide ever did! This came as a noteworthy surprise that Glide floss had been inferior for cleaning for all these years. Dr. Tung's looks somewhat wide/thick, but it flattens when pulled tight against a tooth surface, which makes it slide in between tooth gaps easier. It's also more like a loose-fiber weave, so it does not have sharp "edges" like the silk floss that is singular string-like. This gives it a wider cleaning surface, hence the superior cleaning.In conclusion, I was concerned that the change in Glide would lead me to have to compromise, but now I realize it was a blessing in disguise that led me to find a superior floss.

I first heard about this brand from a health guru I follow, who tested various flosses. This one came out on top, as about 25% more effective at removing dental debris than other flosses. Although the real reason I switched was to get away from the PFAS in my other floss. Glad I did! It's made of polyester, but the wax they use is from all-natural sources. Also seems to clean better than my other floss, so that was a bonus. Was surprised to see it comes in a paper dispenser -- no plastic -- which is really great for those trying to remove or limit plastic from households.

Perks are that it does really clean much better than regular floss and that it is nontoxic (something very important to me).Downsides are that the floss frays very easily, pretty much every time I floss. I like that the packaging is recyclable, but also find that it is easy for the floss to fray when I’m in a rush because of the design of the top.Overall, I would choose this over regular floss for sure. But I do prefer other brands more. I wanted to love this as much as I love Cocofloss, but I just didn’t.

I never thought I would feel so passionately about a dental tool but here we are. Everything about this is perfect.THE PACKAGINGThis is not your grandma’s flip top floss unraveled. No no, this thing is CIRCULAR, the Millennial’s favorite shape. To open, it’s an easy lefty loosey, no fingernail damage required. The string then comes through a slit in the inner ring to be cut with the standard floss cutting apparatus for which I am sure there is a name. Also the COLORS of the packaging are delightful- some are a delightful bright magenta and others are a light sea green- but ALL are a little bit see through so you can see how much of this wonderful tooth string you have left, unlike Johnson and Johnson who might run out on you before you even know you’re low.THE FLAVORNothing overwhelming here. It’s a light cardamom taste. Now I don’t know about you, but I associate cardamom with British royalty. This adds a whole new layer of fancy to this product.THE INGREDIENTSI bought my first container of this at Natural Grocers. If you’re not familiar with this store, they are stricter than my second grade teach Miss Shillito (God rest her soul) when it comes to what they allow in their sold goods. The packaging and floss are BPA free so your fertility is safe with this one. The string is made of a multifilament polyester fiber- maybe not the best for micro plastics but it does serve a purpose. The floss is coated with a beeswax blended with candelila, castor, and/or carnauba oil and rice bran wax- all naturally derived and not industrial waste products (I’m looking at you, canola oil). The cardamom flavor comes from essential oil. All of this is pretty safe.THE FUNCTIONFirst of all, she thicc. This gal isn’t gonna cut your gums like a knife as other good intentioned natural flosses will- and this is because they are too thin. Our gums are sensitive souls- especially if you already have some inflammation going on or you’re pregnant. I’ve noticed an elimination of gum bleeding and pain with daily use of this product. Also, Talk about a tooth hug. The floss gets EVEN WIDER when you wrap it around your little chewers so it covers more surface area- the point of flossing is to wipe the tooth clean, and this girl makes that easy.I highly recommend this product! I was struggling with bleeding gums for a couple of months and that problem disappeared within a week of my switch to this from another floss brand. Just use it every night before sleep- yea, every night. You only get one set of free teeth and dental work ain’t cheap.
