Crest has been a popular household name since it emerged in 1955. The trusted brand is popular both in the UK and the US due to the excellent range of dental hygiene products they produce. The range of high quality products is bound to include something for everyone, whatever your dental requirement may be.

Crest's extensive range of dental floss, named Crest Glide, is a very popular choice of floss due to the varied products on offer. There is not a flossing requirement going that Crest Glide does not have covered. Their broad product list includes: Glide Original; Glide Comfort Plus; Glide Whitening; Glide Shred Guard; Glide Pro-Health for Sensitive Gums; Glide Deep Clean; Glide Floss Picks and Glide Threader Floss.

The Crest promise with every product is a shred-resistant silky smooth floss that glides easily between the teeth with effective cleaning potential and an added benefit of gentle gum stimulation and protection against gingivitis. In the UK Crest Glide products are primarily available online but in the US the brand is a widespread product.

What can happen if I fail to floss?

Flossing gives you the ability to clean between your teeth, where you are unable to reach with a toothbrush. If you fail to floss, you may not be able to dislodge food particles and cavities and tooth decay may occur. Failure to take care of your dental hygiene could eventually lead to tooth loss and gum disease. In the case of tooth loss, dental implants are a good solution.

Here is a look at the different products with a guide as to what they can offer you:

Crest Glide Original

Crest Glide Original is a popular choice due to its silky smooth texture and because of the ease with which it slides between teeth and beneath the gum line. The product has a light coating of natural wax which both aids the process of sliding the floss around the mouth and also gives the user improved grip whilst flossing. Glide Original is also strong and shred-resistant which is always a great advantage if you are looking for a simple flossing experience. The product offers thorough and effective plaque removal and as an added bonus gently stimulates gums and prevents gingivitis.

Glide Original comes as a standard floss and as a dental tape; the dental tape is twice as wide as the floss and 50% thicker, perfect if your teeth are widely spaced. Glide Original also offers an option for those busy on-the-go types that have no time to stand around and floss - Glide Original Mint Flavour To Go. This pack of handy mints offers you an on-the-go version of dental floss for when you need that squeaky clean fresh mouth feeling but do not have the time to stand around and do it the traditional way.
The unflavoured standard floss comes in three sizes, 15, 50 or 100 metres; the dental tape comes in a 25 metre pack and the mints come in a pack of 30.

Crest Glide Comfort Plus

Crest Glide Comfort Plus is highly recommended by dental professionals and is the dental floss of choice for those looking for a thorough yet comfortable flossing experience. The floss has a unique structure giving it a cushiony feel that is easily compressible, meaning that it can squeeze in between the most closely packed teeth removing harmful plaque and bacteria from even the tightest spaces in your mouth.

This floss is conveniently shred resistant and is designed to reduce ‘snapping' into the gum line giving you a straightforward flossing experience guaranteed. It contains a light coating of natural wax which gives you a number of benefits including improved grip, easy sliding between tightly packed teeth and added comfort on the gums and fingers.

This floss is mint flavoured and comes in a range of sizes, 15 metres, 40 metres and in a twin pack containing two 40 metre flosses.
