GUM Butlerweave is a strong, smooth, shred-resistant dental floss that reaches between the teeth and under the gumline. Between-teeth cleaning is recommended by dentists and dental hygienists to remove the dental plaque that toothbrushes alone cannot reach between the teeth. GUM Butlerweave dental floss has been evaluated by dentists in clinical studies and is scientifically proven to reduce gingivitis and bleeding. Woven floss is particularly helpful in situations where the fibres of normal floss shred in tight spaces between the teeth and over rough surfaces of teeth or dental restorations. GUM Butlerweave is waxed with mint flavour. Wax provides lubrication and enables the floss to glide easily over the tooth surfaces, while the gentle mint flavour helps give that fresh and clean sensation.
