Video Transcript

"So are you looking for the right dental floss? Well my name's Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I'm going to explain to you and kind of help you out on how to choose the right dental floss. Basically it is a personal preference on what type of dental floss that you should use. There's several different kinds out there so it can become a little bit of confusing, but the kind that I really like is something that's really smooth, something that kind of glides in between your teeth and makes it easier for me to floss my teeth. They have what is called glide floss out there which is a much smoother floss. They have waxed floss it has an actual like a wax film on it which kind of catches more debris and helps you floss easier. They also have unwaxed floss. That floss is used just only in certain situations as far as if you're trying to get up and under a bridge or implant some type of dental work that has been done in your mouth. That's like a better floss. It tends to kind of get stringy over a period of time so you have to use more than usual. They also have flavored floss. They have mint floss, cherry floss, grape floss. So depending on your personal preference, preference as far as what type that you would like, you really just, its best to just really get out there, try all different kinds and see what works best for you. So my name is Michelle and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you on how to choose the right floss."
