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!
