Which is better — waxed or unwaxed floss?
Don’t worry about whether floss is waxed or unwaxed. Just find a floss which you find comfortable and easy to use – and use it! You should gently slide the floss below the gumline without cutting the gum tissues. For the first week of flossing your gums may bleed or be sore. As you daily remove the plaque, your gums will heal and the bleeding should stop.
