KENNEBUNK, Maine, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Tom's of Maine, a leader in natural personal care products and values-based business, reaffirms its commitment to safety and efficacy with the announcement that its natural antiplaque dental floss has earned the American Dental Association's Seal of Acceptance.

Making the announcement, Tom Chappell, cofounder and CEO of Tom's of Maine, explained, "Living our beliefs and our ongoing enthusiasm for innovation makes us the first natural products company to have the ADA Seal on our anticavity toothpaste, anticavity mouthwash, and dental floss. Along with our scientists and dental health professionals here at Tom's of Maine, I am thrilled to provide a full compliment of effective oral care products to consumers and their oral health professionals."

The Tom's of Maine Naturally Waxed Antiplaque Floss has a unique combination of natural waxes allowing removal of plaque and particles -- which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease -- from places between teeth that brushing can't reach. Here's how it works:

-- Three natural waxes -- beeswax, carnauba and jojoba -- help the floss

glide smoothly between teeth while remaining gentle on gums.

-- The natural resins propolis and myrrh make your mouth feel clean and

healthy.

-- The surface of our floss is made of multiple nylon filaments woven

together to prevent snapping or fraying.

-- The flat, even contour and broader surface of our Flat Floss

efficiently removes plaque and particles while the small, circular

shape of our Round Floss lets you get between close-contact teeth.
