Our natural Dental Floss is made from compostable Corn-base PLA, coated with Vegetable Wax and Orange Oil. Orange is safe to use with young children and during pregnancy as it is known for its superior but gentle soothing properties. You should encourage flossing with your child when your child has 2 teeth that touch. This is often around ages 2 to 3. Always floss under the direction of your child’s dentist or primary care provider. Before this age, flossing is not needed. Children often need help with flossing until they are ages 8 to 10. Please note that this is the new formulation of the Georganics dental floss.  The good news is that they have created a floss that is entirely plant based and is therefore vegan and compostable!  However, this floss is not as strong as nylon floss so there will be an adjustment period as it can break or fray more easily.   SPECIFICS Made from Compostable Corn PLA Plastic-free Packaging Available as 50m refillable dispenser or 100m refill only Vegan & Cruelty-free DIRECTIONS Gently pull out about 30 centimetres of floss and roll the floss around your thumb to control the strength and position.
