Helpful Product Information
Quick Answer
Oral-B Essential Dental Floss Mint Waxed helps remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and below the gumline, promoting healthier gums and a cleaner mouth.
Common Questions
Should I floss before or after brushing?
Either is acceptable, provided you floss thoroughly once each day. Many dental professionals recommend flossing before brushing to help fluoride from toothpaste reach between the teeth.
Can I use this if I have tight teeth?
Yes. Its thin, waxed construction and hollow core technology are designed to help it slide more easily between closely spaced teeth.
Trust & Pharmacist Advice
Brushing alone cleans only around 60% of the tooth surface. Daily flossing helps remove plaque from between teeth and around the gumline, reducing areas where plaque can accumulate.
Use a gentle sawing motion rather than forcing the floss between teeth, as snapping floss into the gums may cause discomfort or bleeding. If your gums bleed regularly despite good oral hygiene, or if bleeding persists for more than a few weeks, arrange an examination with your dentist.
For the best oral health routine, brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss once daily and attend regular dental check-ups.
Not Suitable For
This product may not be suitable for:
- Young children unless supervised by an adult
- Individuals with known sensitivity to any component of the floss
How to Use
- Cut approximately 45cm (18 inches) of floss.
- Wind most of the floss around one middle finger and the remainder around the opposite middle finger.
- Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers.
- Gently guide it between the teeth using a back-and-forth motion.
- Curve the floss around each tooth and clean beneath the gumline.
- Use a clean section of floss for each tooth.
- Dispose of used floss after use.

FAQs
1. What is Oral-B Essential Dental Floss used for?
Oral-B Essential Dental Floss is designed to remove plaque and trapped food particles from between teeth and below the gumline where a toothbrush cannot easily reach. Daily flossing complements regular brushing and helps maintain healthy gums and cleaner teeth as part of a complete oral hygiene routine.
2. Why is flossing important?
Flossing helps clean areas between the teeth where plaque naturally accumulates. Regular removal of plaque supports healthy gums, fresh breath and good oral hygiene. It is an important part of maintaining oral health alongside brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste.
3. Is this floss suitable for tight teeth?
Yes. Oral-B Essential Dental Floss features a thin, waxed design with hollow core technology, allowing it to slide more easily between closely spaced teeth while remaining comfortable to use.
4. What does waxed dental floss do?
The waxed coating helps the floss glide more smoothly between teeth, particularly where spaces are tight. It also improves handling and reduces the likelihood of the floss fraying during use.
5. How often should I floss?
Dentists generally recommend flossing once every day. Daily flossing, together with brushing twice daily and regular dental check-ups, helps maintain healthy teeth and gums.
6. Should I floss before or after brushing?
Both methods are effective. Many dental professionals recommend flossing before brushing, as it removes plaque and food debris first, allowing fluoride toothpaste to reach more surfaces between the teeth.
7. Is Oral-B Essential Dental Floss gentle on gums?
Yes. The satin-like texture is designed to be comfortable on both fingers and gums. When flossing, use gentle movements rather than snapping the floss against the gum tissue.
8. Why do my gums bleed when I floss?
If you are new to flossing, mild bleeding may occur initially as inflamed gums begin to heal. Persistent bleeding, swelling or pain should be assessed by your dentist, as these may be signs of gum disease.
9. Can children use this floss?
Children can use dental floss with adult supervision once they are able to floss safely. Parents or carers may need to assist younger children until they develop the necessary dexterity.
10. Does the mint flavour last?
The mint flavour provides a fresh, clean sensation immediately after flossing, helping to leave your mouth feeling refreshed as part of your oral care routine.
11. How long does a 50m roll last?
The duration depends on how much floss you use each time. For most people using around 45cm per flossing session, a 50m roll provides approximately three months of daily use.
