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 types. The few minutes you spend flossing can be more productive when using Smart Floss. Why use anything less effective?
Smart Floss® is one of the most eco-friendly, effective dental flosses available.
Container: Smart Floss® is now in plastic-free FSC certified paperboard packaging which can be easily recycled.
Wax: To ensure comfortable flossing and to keep the fibers performing effectively, we use a small amount of a vegetable and bees wax blend. To this we add our acclaimed cardamom oil aroma. We do not use petrochemical waxes or artificial flavors.
Floss material: Like many flosses, Smart Floss® is made of polyester fibers. Unlike other flosses, Smart Floss® is made in a proprietary, patented process which gives that softer, expanded effect while flossing. This makes it up to 55% more effective in removing plaque. Why don't we use a natural material, such as silk or cotton? We have opted not to use silk due to the heavy processing and the treatment of the silkworms. Plus it cannot be processed in the same way as Smart Floss® and thus would be less effective in removing plaque. At one time in the past, cotton was used as dental floss, but it is not used for floss anymore as it tends to fray or break easily or is harsher on gums and not as effective.
Smart Floss® is flavored with natural cardamom essential oil and lightly coated with a vegetable/bees wax blend. It contains beeswax 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.
No, DrTung's does not use these potentially harmful chemicals in our products.
Smart Floss
Neither the Smart Floss nor our Activated Charcoal VEGAN Floss are made using PTFE –the floss material implicated by USA Today as being potentially toxic– nor are they intentionally treated with PFOAS, PFAS, PFOS, APFO and/or fluorine 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. (See our study comparing Smart Floss to Glide and other flosses).
Herbal Toothpowder Tabs
Our Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are made without any of the nasties. All of the ingredients are Certified Organic, except for the 3 minerals and Curcuma Xanthorrhiza Root which is found as a wild-crafted plant. Only agricultural products that are grown can be certified organic by the USDA - naturally occurring minerals and wild-crafted plants are not certifiable. But take a look at the ingredients and you'll get the picture. Our Herbal Toothpowder Tabs are probably the ‘cleanest’, most-pesticide free, easiest-to-use product available for clean teeth, a brighter smile and a fresh, more balanced oral microbiome.
Cardamom flavor. Lightly waxed with a natural blend of vegetable and bees wax (no petrochemical wax)
