Do You Floss?

There are so many more ways to use dental floss than just to keep your teeth and gums healthy.  Because it's made with nylon or Teflon fibers, floss is stronger than string or thread, easier to work with than wire and you can get it cheap at most dollar stores. Here are just a few of the alternative uses for dental floss:

Hang time- Use dental floss to hang pictures, sun catchers or Christmas ornaments. In fact, you can use it to hang just about any smallish object in need of string or wire.

Sew neat- If you've ever had a button that keeps coming off, try dental floss instead of thread the next time you sew it on. Floss is also strong enough to repair tears in mess on things like playpens, beach bags and laundry bags.


A cut above- If you wrap a length of dental floss around one finger on each hand, you can cut perfect cake slices. It's cleaner and neater than using a knife. You can cut fruit, soft cheese, bread and hard-boiled eggs this way, too.

It's a wrap- Use dental floss, instead of twine, to securely tie packages for mailing.

Ivy league- Support climbing plants by using a piece of dental floss to tie them to a trellis.
