Why Dental Floss is a College & Dorm Room Essential

As a senior, trust me – dental floss belongs on your college essentials packing list. Between late-night study sessions and campus food, keeping floss in your dorm room prevents awkward walks to the drugstore with food stuck in your teeth before important presentations or dates. It’s also perfect for emergency sewing repairs on buttons and backpack straps when your dorm room essentials don’t include a sewing kit.

Pro tip: Stash dental floss in your desk drawer along with basic pain relievers and band-aids. When the health center is closed at 2 AM during finals week, you’ll thank yourself for thinking ahead.
