Canary’s New Plastic-Free Dental Floss

At Canary, we're always looking for ways to make your daily routine more sustainable and eco-friendly, and our latest product is no exception. We're excited to introduce our Plastic-Free Dental Floss: Charcoal Mint—a natural, effective way to keep your smile bright and your environmental footprint light.

Eco-Friendly Materials for a Cleaner Planet

Our Charcoal Mint dental floss is made with sustainable, plant-based ingredients, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional floss. Here’s what makes it stand out:

  • Corn-based PLA String: Instead of harmful plastics, our floss is made from biodegradable, corn-based PLA (polylactic acid). PLA is a renewable resource that breaks down naturally, reducing waste in landfills.
  • Activated Charcoal: Known for its cleansing properties, activated charcoal helps fight bad breath and remove plaque and bacteria from between your teeth.
  • Menthol: Infused for a refreshing and cool sensation, menthol not only freshens your breath but also provides a soothing experience while you floss.
  • Natural Candelilla Wax: Coated with candelilla wax, this natural plant-based ingredient ensures smooth, easy gliding between your teeth without causing irritation.

How to Use Your Charcoal Mint Dental Floss

Using our plastic-free dental floss is simple and effective. Here’s how to incorporate it into your daily routine:

  1. Pull Out the Floss: Use about 12 inches or more of floss, depending on your preference and the space between your teeth.
  2. Wrap Around Fingers: Wrap the ends of the floss around your index fingers for a secure grip.
  3. Floss Between Teeth: Gently insert the floss between each tooth and along the gum line. Be careful not to snap or force the floss to avoid damaging your gums.

Why Flossing Matters

Flossing isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a crucial part of your oral care routine. Here are some key benefits of flossing:

  • Removes Plaque and Bacteria: Flossing removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth, areas that your toothbrush can’t reach. This helps prevent cavities and gum disease.
  • Prevents Bad Breath: Regular flossing helps keep your breath fresh by removing food particles that cause odor.
  • Improves Gum Health: Flossing helps reduce gum inflammation and the risk of gum disease by removing plaque that causes irritation.

How Often Should You Floss?

For optimal oral health, floss at least once a day—ideally before brushing. Flossing regularly helps keep your teeth and gums healthy, reducing the likelihood of plaque buildup and gum disease. And with Canary’s Charcoal Mint Dental Floss, you can feel good about making a positive impact on both your smile and the environment.
