Smart Floss: breakthrough in Oral Hygiene

Dr. Tung’s Smart Floss, which took many years of research and product development, has been clinically proven to remove up to 50% more plaque than the most common flosses! –“The results are astonishing and the floss could have a major impact in the prevention of tooth decay”, according to Colin Davis, President and CEO of Dr. Tungs.

Every dentist tells us that proper flossing is critical in maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Plaque build-up not only leads to tooth decay and gum disease, but has been linked to other serious health problems as well. Yet with all the clinical data to show the importance of flossing, why don’t more people do it? “It hurts my gums”, “My gums bleed”, “It hurts my fingers”, and on and on. There has never been a floss that has been both effective and gentle on the gums and fingers... until now...

Smart Floss dental floss is a revolutionary new product that is designed to expand while in use; adapting to inter-dental spaces, and not slipping through fingers, unlike conventional dental floss. The Smart Floss material is softer and more comfortable for both the gums and fingers. The patent-pending expandable filaments cover more surface area and remove more plaque than other floss, while also thin and soft enough to slip between the teeth. “WOW! You can actually SEE and FEEL the difference immediately” has been the typical reaction from consumers. Consumers are also struck with the comfort of the flossing experience. Designed to appeal to health-conscious consumers, Smart Floss comes in a variety of brightly colored containers, is lightly coated with beeswax, and has a natural cardamom flavor to freshen breath.

What is plaque? Plaque is the sticky material consisting mainly of bacteria that develops on the exposed portions of the teeth. These bacteria are the cause of cavities and gum disease. It has been found that 3 out of 4 adults over the age of 35 are affected by some sort of gum disease! A toothbrush cleans only three of the tooth’s five surfaces. Flossing – especially with Smart Floss – is the most effective means of disrupting the accumulation of plaque on the other two important tooth surfaces, i.e. where the teeth touch each other. Daily flossing, and regular cleaning of the teeth are critical.

Smart Floss makes flossing easier, more comfortable and more effective!
