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.

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?

    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.

    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.
