*Life span will vary based on frequency of use, storage conditions, etc.

Nylon dental floss.

Traditional dental floss is usually made from either nylon (petroleum), teflon (the chemical mouthful polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)), or synthetic wax (petroleum).

These toxins can be absorbed into your bloodstream during those times that you floss a little too hard, or it’s been, say, longer than the suggested three times a day since your last floss.

Discarded dental floss cannot be recycled, takes 30-80 years to break down, and can be harmful to wildlife.

Glass floss containers replace the need for plastic dental floss containers and allow you to refill and reuse instead.

1. Pull out about 18 inches of floss, cut on the lid of the container.
2. Wind the floss around your fingers (no need to get all tangled!).
3. Slide floss gently up and down between your teeth.

*Take care around your gum line.

1. At the gum line, curve floss into a C-shape against your tooth and gently slide into the space between the gum and your tooth.
2. Repeat for each tooth.
3. Cheese to check out those pearly whites.

*Keep your container for future refills.

Your floss will be shipped inside. Keep this container and use it again and again. The floss and container will be shipped in a biodegradable box. This packaging can be thrown into your recycle bin.
