Dental floss, the most popular interdental cleaning aide, is an engineered thin
filament made from plastic (nylon, polyethylene, or Teflon) or silk.
Many dentists feel that as a patient approaches the age of thirty, regular, effective flossing becomes more important than brushing in preventing tooth loss from gum disease, or periodontitis.

Young teenagers who have lost all of their primary teeth and have grown in their permanent dentitions need to start conscientiously flossing and using a fluoride mouth rinse so they won't develop interproximal dental caries between teeth and end up needing a "mouthful of fillings."
Flavored, unflavored, spongy, silk, waxed, unwaxed, dental tape, and
mixed-construction varieties of floss are available.
Most floss is used manually, but there are electric flossers on the market.

A decitex, measured in grams, is the weight produced by 10,000 meters of unwaxed floss or other thread. A tex is the weight, in grams, of 1,000 meters of thread. A denier, also expressed in grams, is the weight of 9,000 meters of thread or floss. Simple math is used to convert between decitexes and deniers.
Floss toothpicks are a popular interdental cleaning aide that can disturb plaque residing between the teeth and gums.
