4.8/5 – Flossing is necessary to everyone’s oral health. Radius Natural Silk Floss is so soft and natural that it will not damage gums, no matter how sensitive a person may be. The high score for Radius is due to its softness, the fact that it is biodegradable, and the proven benefits of flossing regularly. Radius would have a perfect score if it were sold in more countries, although products are sold online and shipping is very reasonable.
Regular flossing can help skin stay looking youthful – “When gum disease begins to eat away at the bone, there are changes in facial appearance.” http://www.nbcnews.com/id/37692310/ns/health-skin_and_beauty/t/forget-botox-floss-your-teeth/#.WHgHY2IrJ1s

I made the switch to all natural and biodegradable bathroom products and haven’t noticed a change but my dentist says that my gums do look better. This floss is great – soft on gums and very effective.
I never thought about dental floss as being a producer of waste.
I read this blog a lot and when I read this review I looked in to it.
I always knew not to throw used floss down the toilet

But as it turns out it creates a lot of waste
