Where to buy unwaxed dental floss in Canada? try Frontier Dental

Hi there! Welcome back to geoffmobile.com – I’m Geoff Peters from Vancouver, Canada. I want to talk a bit about dental floss, in particular, unwaxed versus waxed dental floss.

If you go to any pharmacy or grocery store, you’ll commonly find floss in the toothbrushes section for flossing your teeth, which is waxed. They actually put a coating of wax on the strands of floss, and pretty much every floss you find in a pharmacy or grocery store in Canada — in Vancouver, where I live — is all waxed.

But one time, I was at a dentist who I really respect, and they told me it’s actually better to use unwaxed floss if you really want to clean your teeth well. I think what happens is that wax can kind of get gummy, and it doesn’t fully clean the teeth. If you use unwaxed floss and gently rub it against the side of each tooth (on each side), it actually does a better job of cleaning. Fortunately, I’ve been using unwaxed floss for years now, and my teeth are in really good shape. My dentist is very happy, and my hygienist is also very happy with my teeth.

Previously, I used to buy unwaxed floss from Amazon. There was a brand called GUM (yes, G-U-M) that came in an unwaxed style, and it was quite affordable. But most recently, Amazon has stopped carrying this GUM unwaxed floss — they only carry the waxed version and other kinds now.

So, I went on a bit of a search to try to find unwaxed floss in Canada and came across an amazing website called Frontier Dental. Frontier Dental is a business that sells dental supplies to dental offices, but they do allow consumers to register an account. You have to tell them the name of your dental office—I just said it’s “Geoff Peters” (so I have a “Geoff Peters Dental Office,” apparently). They were amazing! They offer free shipping, and I was able to find on their website a variety of unwaxed dental floss.

I’ve tried it for the last few weeks, and it’s very good—and also very affordable. I was able to buy about six large containers of unwaxed dental floss for around $25, with free shipping anywhere in Canada. I highly recommend Frontier Dental. I don’t really need to buy anything else from their site — they sell all sorts of dental supplies (which I have no idea what they’re for) — but their unwaxed floss is excellent.

Just make sure you choose the quantity carefully. You don’t want to buy a whole case — just select five individual containers. They’ll sell you bulk if you want, but for personal use, individual packs are perfect.

I’ll put a link to Frontier Dental in the description below. Definitely tell your friends who want a good floss for their teeth — try the unwaxed floss from Frontier Dental!

Telus mobility charges 50 cents a minute for call forwarding!

Telus Mobility’s Call Forwarding Charges: What You Need to Know

Hi everyone, it’s Geoff from geoffmobile.com !

Today, I’m sharing a quick tip and discussion about Telus Mobility, a Canadian telecom provider offering mobile, internet, and other services.

Please subscribe :) youtube.com/geoffmobile

Here’s something important I discovered: Telus charges 50 cents per minute for call forwarding. If you forward your number to another line and someone spends, say, two minutes on a call, you’ll see a $1 charge on your bill.

This surprised me, as other Canadian providers like Rogers don’t charge anything for call forwarding.

When I switched from Rogers to Telus, I forwarded my number temporarily to my U.S. number. After a few days, I noticed unexpected charges labeled vaguely as “air time” on my bill—no clear mention of call forwarding. It took some digging to realize those 50-cent-per-minute fees were from forwarded calls.

Heads up: Telus does offer a $4/month add-on plan for 1,000 call forwarding minutes. However, this isn’t advertised on their website—you’ll need to call and request it.

In short, if you’re a Telus customer using call forwarding, double-check your bill for these fees or consider opting for their (hidden) plan to avoid surprises.

Thanks for watching! If you found this helpful, please comment, like, and subscribe.

Have a great day—bye!

How Can Finding Your Voice Contribute to Personal Growth and Development?

Hi everyone, my name is Geoff, and today I’m going to share how finding your voice contributes to personal growth and development.

I’d like to relate this topic to the musical side of things, as I’ve always been passionate about music. Over the last 10 years, I’ve focused on developing my voice as a singer, and I believe this journey parallels the process of finding your voice in public speaking or self-expression.

Many singers aspire to sound like the artists they hear on the radio—polished, professional, and aligned with popular trends. This desire isn’t inherently bad; mimicking established stars can be a useful way to measure progress. For instance, asking, “How close am I to sounding like Justin Bieber compared to when I first started?” can highlight growth. However, chasing this “radio-ready” sound isn’t the only path.

There’s another approach: embracing the styles and influences that resonate with you. Maybe you’re drawn to jazz, indie artists, or lesser-known singers whose authenticity captivates you. By exploring these eclectic tastes, you can cultivate a voice that feels true to yourself, even if it diverges from mainstream expectations.

The key is to recognize that your voice—whether in singing, speaking, or creative expression—doesn’t need to fit a mold to be valuable. Authenticity fosters confidence, and confidence drives personal growth. When you honor your unique perspective, you contribute something meaningful to culture, conversation, and community.

In short, finding your voice isn’t about perfection or imitation. It’s about self-discovery, embracing your quirks, and trusting that your contribution matters.

Android Auto doesn’t work with Airalo esim in the USA -Dec 2024 how I resolved the issue

When using an Airalo esim for roaming data in the USA, Android Auto was crashing when it tried to start up, and would not load. This happened for me on a Samsung Galaxy S21 with a car supporting Android Auto that normally works when not using Airalo esim. Tried both wireless and cable (wired) modes.

Here is the Google support page with more details about this issue:
