Smart Floss expands during use to create a larger surface area to disrupt plaque. It is therefore no surprise that research shows that Smart Floss removes up to 55% more plaque than leading floss brands, with a total reduction of 70% compared to not flossing.  The few minutes you spend flossing can be more productive when using Smart Floss.

Why use anything less effective?

Yes, at DrTung’s, we prioritize the health of our patients and the planet by using eco-friendly packaging, including biodegradable and compostable materials.

Yes, we strive to make the most sustainable and environmentally friendly products possible. Here’s what that looks like:

Wax: To ensure comfortable flossing and to keep the fibers performing effectively, we use a small amount of vegetable wax blend. To this, we add our natural lemongrass essential oil. We do not use petrochemical waxes or artificial flavors. No forever chemicals, ever. 

Floss material: Like many flosses, Smart Floss is made of polyester fibers. Unlike other flosses, Smart Floss is made in a proprietary, patented process that gives that softer, expanded effect while flossing. Is clinically proven to remove up to 55% more plaque than traditional brands.

• Wrap 18" (45cm) of floss around fingers & draw tight.
• Tug and release. The floss expands!
• Slide floss between teeth, curve it around tooth and clean between tooth and gum with gentle up and down motion.
• Repeat using a clean section between each tooth.

Smart Floss is flavored with natural cardamom essential oil and lightly coated with a vegetable/bees wax blend. It contains bees wax plus one or more of candelila, carnauba, castor oil and rice bran wax. It does not contain genetically modified ingredients, known allergens, phthalates, soy or silica, and is dairy-free, gluten-free and fluoride-free.

Smart Floss is not made from PTFE—the floss material implicated by USA Today as being potentially toxic—nor is it intentionally treated with PFOAS, PFAS, PFOS, APFO and/or fluorinated surfactants. Multiple research tests show that the amount of organic fluorine in our floss (said to reflect PFAS) is below the detectable range. PTFE material, although used widely for floss because it slides up and down easily between teeth, is also the worst-performing floss as far as plaque removal goes.
