Hilo Dental

Hilo dental refers to dental floss in English. Hilo is usually used in Spanish language, and it means thread in English. Hilo dental, also known as dental floss, is a kind of thread used for cleaning between teeth. Compared to traditional wooden toothpicks, dental floss is safer to use. Also, it performs better in terms of oral hygiene and the prevention of oral diseases. Meanwhile, what makes floss more special is the flavors added to it. Dental floss comes in various flavors, such as mint, green tea, aloe vera and fruit flavors. They make for better usage experiences.

What materials is hilo dental made from?

Floss itself can be made from bamboo charcoal, silk or fine fibers. For dental floss picks, handles can be made from PLA corn starch. Those materials are light and strong. Also, they are biodegradable and eco-friendly. In addition, there is unwaxed dental floss and waxed dental floss. The waxed floss contains an amount of wax, including beeswax and candelilla wax. When it comes to beeswax, the first thing that comes to mind is its good resistance to bacteria and useful function of relieving inflammation. Dental floss with beeswax helps to inhibit the growth of oral bacteria. Also, it serves as an extra helper to deal with oral diseases.

How is hilo dental designed?

Hilo Dental comes in different designs. Dental floss can be rolled into balls or tubes. In order to keep clean, floss balls or tubes will be stored in small glass jars, stainless steel containers or other containers. When floss is used up, new floss fills containers. Also, that design increases the portability of floss. In addition, floss can be fixed to specially-made sticks. Sticks are made into different appealing shapes, such as animals and fruit. For a normal dental floss pick, it consists of a length of floss and a stick. The stick serves as a handle. It is pointed at one end and used as a toothpick. The other end is bent a bit. Below the bent part, there is a short stick coming out from the main stick.

The ends of a piece of floss are fixed tightly to the bent part and the part that sticks out, respectively. That design is meant for ease of use. There is no need to straighten floss with both hands when using dental floss picks. Just hold a floss stick in one hand and rub the sides of the teeth. It is more convenient for users who use floss for the first time.
