Boka Floss
Boka offers a high-quality, expanding floss infused with nano-hydroxyapatite. It is designed to expand between teeth to ensure maximum surface contact while delivering minerals to the enamel.
Quality & Materials
Features nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAp), vegetable wax, and natural mint. No PTFE or petroleum-based waxes.
Evidence & Testing
n-HAp is widely recognized in dental literature for its ability to fill dentinal tubules. Evidence for floss delivery is logical but less documented than toothpaste.
Brand Transparency
Clearly lists all ingredients. Manufacturing takes place in facilities that meet high safety standards.
Value Assessment
At $7.00, it sits comfortably between drugstore brands and the high-end boutique options.
Why Not Alternatives?
Boka provides a more affordable entry point into HAp-infused floss than RiseWell while maintaining a strictly non-toxic ingredient profile free of endocrine disruptors.
