What is the difference between waxed and unwaxed floss?

I find the unwaxed floss much better for cleaning between ones teeth. The waxed floss tends to compress the tartar onto the tooth enamel. Improved brushing technique, such as brushing in downward strokes away from the gum line, makes a significant difference in the removal of food debris and tartar. Applying both methods could reduce the amount of time spent in the dentist's chair.

What other soda's can have the same reaction with Mentos.?

Any carbonated soda with bubbles should react since the reaction is caused by a buildup of carbon in tiny pits on the surface of uncolored/unwaxed mentos. If you use a waxed/smooth version of the candy it will not have a good reaction to ANY soda, because the pits will be filled or fewer.


When was dental floss invented?

The concept of dental floss was put forward in the early 1800s by Levi Spear Parmly, who recommended that people floss with silk floss. Parmly belonged to a well known family of dentists. In his book entitled A Practical Guide to the Management of the Teeth, published in 1819, Parmly advocated flossing with waxed silken thread "to dislodge that irritating matter which no brush can remove, and which is the real source of disease".
