The brand more dentists use themselves. Uses: Brushing alone can't get to all the hard to reach places where plaque builds up. But Oral-B EssentialFloss can. With its light wax coating and its shred-resistant texture, it slides easily between your teeth and below the gumline. It helps clean the tough-to-get plaque away. Used morning and evening when you brush, EssentialFloss helps your gums and your teeth stay healthy.
