Question from LW

There appears to be teflon coating on dental floss. Do you know if that is a health hazard? If so, are there any that are not coated with teflon?

Debra’s Answer

Well, I don’t have any definitive studies on the health effects of Teflon on dental floss, but I would use one without.

Readers, any recommendations on this? Personally I don’t use dental floss, but very skinny pointed toothpicks that seem to work better for me (my dental hygenist is happy with the results).
