I have very closely set teeth, many of which have had dental work on them. This has left a number of rough internal edges between teeth.
Most flosses catch on the rough parts and tend to shred, particularly if I use the recommended method of sliding the floss up and down (from biting surface to gum and back), rather than the into and out of the mouth action (which I found didn't stop my gums bleeding at all).On one occasion, I had some of the shredded floss stuck and it couldn't be rmeoved by tooth picks, other floss, tape, etc.
I then tried Colgate Dental Floss, which appears to be pure white PTFE (non-stick coating material) and this easily removed the old floss.This floss is so good that I have been using it for some years and occasionally, I use the medicated version coated with chlorohexidine (used in some mouthwashes), if I haven't been able to use floss (e.g. when travelling and having run out).
I now no longer get any bleeding at all, even when the dentist pokes the gum quite hard with the probe.
