Dr. Nemeth WARNS Against Using FLOSS Brands With “Forever Chemicals” PFAS
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Certain brands of dental floss have been found to have high concentration of #pfas , a chemical found in non-stick cookware, pesticides, paint and cleaning products.
33% of dental floss products tested had indications of PFAS “forever chemicals,” while 67% of products did not. In other words, 13 out of 39 products had indications of PFAS.
No tested tooth floss marketed to children had any indications of PFAS “forever chemicals.”
It may be wise to consider switching dental flosses to one of the ones recommended below.

@@josephrnemeth Hello Doc. I'm From Bangladesh. I'm 22 year old. I'm female person. I'm watching your help Video. What do u live ans me pls i Wanna come ur Chamber. 🥰 but now u can help me I am facing some trouble frequently within every month . The trouble is, whenever I try to eat something solid, blood comes out of my gums and the gums begin to swell up which results in too much pain in my teeth. Though I have already consulted with a local doctor several times regarding this and he also suggested me some medicines like Doxicap Capsule ( 100 MG) along with a mouthwash named viodin 1 GM / 100 ML and a toothpaste called Parodontax, but unfortunately I can't find any such solution, can you help to get rid of this issue sir? I will be really greatful.
Thank you for this information. I'm aware of the danger this chemical can pose to health which is why I avoid nonstick cookware but had no idea it was in dental floss.
You ever think you’re doing something good for yourself only to find out you’ve been doing irreparable damage instead?

as an american, it happens daily… but on the bright side… its a good thing we are aware now! and we can rectify the situation for ourselves and our families…
I already knew this. When I bought my kids floss...and they had sweet candy on it. Like...what?! To purposely leave candy inside their gums?! Smh. Everything on this planet is corrupt af!.
Thank you so much for sharing this Dr. Nemeth - very good to be aware.
Thank you so much for including the list of non chemically treated floss. Will take it when I go shopping. Grateful for your channel.
Having tight teeth, Oral-B was one of the very few that I found easy to use. Now I know why. Time to find a different brand.

Thank you so much, Dr.Joseph.

I really enjoyed your video. Could you please tell me which CVS dental floss and CVS dental tape has no PFAS or Teflon in it. I think one site said CVS dental floss does have PFAS in it, but I may be mistaken. Thank you again so much.
Just great...Glide floss is the only one my dentist and I have found that will actually go between my teeth. All others will go in between but break off leaving floss in between my tightly jammed together teeth and has to be dug out by my dentist which takes about 40 minutes on average.

Try superfloss and thread it between the teeth. No need to pull it through the contact
it goes on and on and on......
Good to know. Might I recommend that in your video description you list the safe ones first. As it stands, you write, "It may be wise to consider switching dental flosses to one of the ones recommended below," and then list the ones WITH harmful chemicals first. I initially read the sentence and just scanned the list to see if my brand was on there; it took a second read to notice those were actually the bad ones.
Why can't I find a list of chemicals used on the packaging or on the company website😮
I use some unconventional tools for teeth care. I use my technical graphite mine pencil to remove teeth stone. This pencil has a small hard steel pipe with 0.5 mm inner diameter for the drawing stick. Pushing the graphit stick back the pipe is an ideal tool to clean the teeth from hard dirts. And I have made a tool with an 0.4 mm hart steel wire to clean the dentil approximal spaces, typical done with floss. With this wire I can remove plaque and hard dirt from upper root area. It sound dangerous. But I do not injure the gums. Works fairly nice and costs nearly nothing.
This is the brand of flossing that I like the best because I feel is is easier to insert between my teeth but I do think it is important to stop using it because the PFAS chemical sounds really bad.
Thank you Dr, I. Just bought a pack of 6 of glide 😡
Your video on safe dental floss was great. Could you please tell me if reach dental floss has any PTFE as well as PFAS in it? I read somewhere on the Internet that it does have PTFE. I don’t know whether to buy it or not. Could you please help me with this. thank you so much. Peter.
I use mostly Reach, thank god that's one of the OK once...but I Also use the unflavored Tom's floss, do you know if that one is ok?
does the wax residue stay behind?
So then what kind of floss do I use that I can buy in bulk? Sam’s has the oral b in the big pack.
I wish I had known

I used to use Reach Dental Tape until it became too expensive for me. Now I use a generic brand dental tape, which works just as well. I'll see whether my current product is free of PFAS.
Could you please tell me if Reach dental floss has PTFE in it. Thanks, Peter.
Just bought a new pack of Oral B Glide Mint 45min ago! And now this video...
Oh no!
I just want to ask if Colgate Total Dental Floss Mint Waxed safe to use? I’ve researched that it has PTFE/PFAs but the other article says it doesn’t have.
I don't use glide anymore
Too bad that all the non-PFAS flosses I have tried get stuck and shredded between my teeth, making them virtually useless. It would really help if someone could identify non-PFAS flosses that don’t get stuck and shredded.
Can we sue?
I would double check the ones he says are non pfa, wax, etc.
Is it "waxed" dental floss that primarily have PFAs? How would you check on that PFA on dental floss? Is it on the box?
Hello, Please is PTFE as dangerous?
sir is it possible to regrow teeth in next 10 years?
Sir ,when tooth regeneration treatment come in India ?
What about Den Tek floss sticks??
Thank you for your information regarding these dangerous chemical to our health. We has had using these poison. Doctor I had a problem with tooth that is pain and can not sleep. I use a denture close to tooth but no always. My dentist told because I do not tooth near the upper tooth hurt it like hammer. Doctor I hope that your understand my writing my grammar is horrible because English is not my language. Thanks and God bless.
Thank you and my mouth is in bad shape I’ve lost some bone in my gums under my front bottom teeth I can now fit my pinkie between my gums now and my teeth and gums don’t have holes between the teeth it’s just under the teeth that’s messed up at the bottom and my 2 top mid teeth aren’t in good shape my top front teeth shifted and if I don’t find out what’s going on I feel like it’s only a matter of time till I lose bottom middle teeth and top 2 mid teeth what do I need to do

Is that idk why companies keep making stuff for human beings that isn’t safe for us is this how they make they’re money and dentist workers so then we give money to the hospital cuz of our complications that we’re having buying things that we think is safe smh 😢🤦🏻♀️ this is how this world goes round 😒
So shoving a toxic chemical beneath your gum line might not be a great idea.

You haven't gone far enough. I bet many of the "healthier" floss products you listed are made of petroleum products. If you're gong to make a list like that, make sure you aren't pushing floss made of petroleum.
Give me a break! Eat good food and stop using alcohol, tobacco and prescription drugs and you’ll live a lot longer.
