The heavy-duty solution for wider interdental spaces.
Dent-O-Care Extra Wide Flossing Tape is a high-performance interdental tool designed for those who find standard dental floss too thin or difficult to manage. With its uniquely broad profile and shred-resistant construction, this tape provides an effective remedy for plaque buildup in larger gaps, ensuring thorough cleaning where traditional floss might fail. As a staple of recommended daily care, it helps maintain the integrity of your smile by reaching deep into the spaces that toothbrushes simply cannot access.
Key Benefits:
- Extra-Wide Filament: Specially designed to cover more surface area, making it ideal for wider interdental spaces and cleaning around bridges or crowns.
- Lightly Waxed Coating: Allows the tape to glide smoothly between teeth without snagging, even in tighter spots.
- Shred-Resistant Technology: Constructed to resist fraying and breaking, ensuring a frustration-free flossing experience.
- Value-Sized 100m Spool: Offers significantly more product than standard retail packs, making it a cost-effective choice for long-term oral hygiene.
- Gentle on Gums: The wide, flat profile distributes pressure more evenly than thin string floss, reducing the risk of "floss cuts" on sensitive gum tissue.
Ideal For:
- Wide Interdental Spaces: Perfect for those with larger natural gaps between teeth.
- Crowns & Bridges: The broad surface is excellent for cleaning the vertical surfaces of dental restorations.
- Beginner Flossers: The width makes it easier to grip and control compared to thin, slippery floss.
- High-Plaque Areas: Excellent for removing stubborn biofilm from the back molars.
How To Use:
- Prep: Take approximately 50cm (18 inches) of tape and wrap the ends loosely around your index fingers.
- Technique: Hold the tape taut and slide it gently between the teeth using a "sawing" motion.
- The "C" Shape: Curve the tape around the side of the tooth in a "C" shape and move it up and down, reaching slightly below the gum line.
- Fresh Section: Always move to a clean section of tape as you proceed to the next tooth.
