In plain English
This category includes products for cleaning the mouth and teeth, such as pastes and powders, as well as dental floss sold in individual packages. The items are split into three groups based on their specific use. One group covers toothpastes and similar cleaning agents. Another group is dedicated to dental floss, while the final group captures all other oral hygiene products that do not fall into the previous two categories.
