Breakdown

3 ingredients to avoid

Oral-B EssentialFloss Cavity Defense Dental Floss scores 61/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Oral-B EssentialFloss Cavity Defense Dental Floss lists 4 ingredients, starting with Nylon, Microcrystalline Wax, Mint Flavor and Sodium Saccharin. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 61/100 Oral-B EssentialFloss Cavity Defense Dental Floss lands mid-scale — below the typical score in floss, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in floss is Desert Essence Tea Tree Oil Dental Floss Waxed at 100/100.
