Compostable Dental Floss - Bamboo Charcoal

Dental floss as a cause for concern is something that often flies under the radar. After all, it's super thin and most of us don't use it nearly as often as we're meant to. #guilty

Unfortunately, typical dental floss is a big single-use plastic issue that we should phase out immediately. It's plastic thread, in a plastic case, sold in a cardboard and plastic package. All that plastic in your mouth is bad for your health, too.

For some reason plastic waste that originates in the washroom often finds itself flushed down the toilet (don't do this!). That waste water ends up in the environment and...it's not pretty. Plastic thread is virtually indestructible, so any wildlife that finds itself tangled in floss is basically screwed.

• Activated charcoal
• Peppermint essential oil
• Candelilla wax

The below excerpt is taken from the American Dental Association:

1. Hold the floss tightly between your thumbs and forefingers.
2. Guide the floss between your teeth, using a gentle rubbing motion.
3. To avoid hurting your gums, never snap the floss into gum tissue.

Please remember to compost your floss after using it. The glass container is reusable for our bamboo refill floss.
