What is Cocofloss?

Have you ever wished flossing was a little more exciting and not so much of a chore? You’re not alone, as many people feel that flossing is a boring extra step and that, in the end, doesn’t seem to have much of an effect anyway. From the experts at Pearl Street Dental, we can assure you that flossing is of the utmost importance, and it is now more enjoyable than ever before with Cocofloss! 

Are you ready to enjoy the new dental product that is taking the world by storm? Let us introduce you to everything you need to know about Cocofloss. 

The Importance of Flossing 

Here’s an interesting statistic that you may not know – your toothbrush can only reach 65% of your teeth’s surfaces! That means, no matter how long and thoroughly you brush your teeth, there will unfortunately be a lot of surface area that is left uncleaned. Now this is a big deal because over 700 species of bacteria can be living in your mouth, protected in a slimy, polysaccharide matrix called plaque. 

Plaque hardens into tartar, and a buildup of tartar can spread around your teeth and into your gum tissue leading to infection and the onset of cavities and diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. 

Fortunately, even flossing once a day can help prevent cavities and disease-causing plaque, ensuring that your mouth health remains pristine!

What is Cocofloss? 

Flossing is critical to dental health, and Cocofloss is revolutionizing the dental world. Founded by two sisters - a dentist and an artist - Cocofloss is the advent of chic dental products with unmatched cleaning ability. Cocofloss is a specially engineered floss made in a family-owned factory in Italy. It is softly textured with 500+ ultra-durable interwoven filaments that expand to pull away plaque from every surface that it is applied to. These fibers are woven in an innovative, cylindrical shape that compresses to fit tight spaces and expands to make sure every surface is reached. And the best part - it comes in 15 delicious flavors! 

Cocofloss is lauded by Well+Good, Allure, The Strategist, Esquire, The Cut, Shape, GQ, The Knot, Glamour, Prevention, Today, Goop, Real Simple, Byrdie, and so many more.

Cocofloss is Made of High-Quality, Safe Materials

Cocofloss is made to the highest possible standards in floss manufacturing. It is free of BPA (Bisphenol-A), parabens (chemical preservative), SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate), and PFAS (water-proofing forever chemical that doesn’t break down).  That means Cocofloss is made to be as healthy as possible for children and adults alike. 

Cocofloss is also certified cruelty-free by Leaping Bunny, which means it is not tested on animals; and it is also woven using recycled plastic sourced from recycled water bottles in order to stem the tide of abundant trash across the earth. 

Benefits of Cocofloss

Cocofloss is one of the most effective floss products available on the market. It is engineered by dentists with its unique and innovative design in order to clean surfaces better than ever before, fitting the tightest spaces and expanding to reach every nook and cranny - in fact, it removes approximately 40% more plaque between teeth than generic floss picks! 

Another benefit is its natural antibacterial composition. The interwoven fibers are infused with soothing, naturally antimicrobial coconut oil and microcrystalline vegan wax for slip. These ingredients are safe, comfortable, and good for the environment. While the floss itself is made from recycled materials, you can also refill used spools once you're done to cut down on excess plastic! By choosing Cocofloss, you cut down on 65% of energy used to make floss, create 32% less carbon emissions, and save 85% of plastic sourced from recycled plastic bottles. 

And yes, Cocofloss comes in an abundant selection of flavors and colors so flossing can be something to look forward to.
