“Is floss with fluoride good?”
I use floss with fluoride. Is it good? Or should I use another floss?

I think it has some benefits, no reason to switch.
The best type of floss is UNWAXED. All others just slide over the biofilm that harbors bacteria on the teeth. Using Waxed floss is like trying to clean up olive oil on the floor with wax paper. A great brand is POH, if you can find it
Floss with fluoride is fine, just make sure you floss every day thoroughly, up and down the surface of the tooth after you get through the contact (the tight area between teeth). Having fluoride is certainly helpful, but it's not the end-all, just flossing effectively every day is the best.
Dear Patient, Thanks for reaching out. Yes, floss with fluoride definitely is recommended and has an advantage over regular floss. Just keep in mind that the most important thing is that you floss regularly at least once a day.
There's no problem using floss with fluoride. It's not usual and the benefit above floss without fluoride is questionable. You should be getting more fluoride from your toothpaste.
