What Is Dental Floss Made Of? Connelly explains that there are two basic types of dental floss. Multifilament floss is made of threads of nylon or silk, and it is the cheapest floss on the market as of July 2014. Multifilament varieties come waxed and unwaxed, and this type of floss varies in thickness. This dental floss has been on consumer shelves for decades. The second type of floss is monofilament, which is made of one strand of rubber, plastic or PTFE. This type of dental floss is stronger and more expensive, but it is thinner than multifilament floss. Several types of glide floss are monofilaments because this type of floss is easier to move between teeth, according to Connelly.
