Can You Bring Floss On a Plane? 5 TSA Approved Facts

floss allowed in carry on

You may bring dental floss on a plane; TSA classifies it as a standard toiletry, so it is allowed in both carry-on and checked baggage and is not subject to liquid restrictions. Small items may receive a brief inspection, so place floss in a clear pouch or toiletry bag for easy screening. Note that certain specialty flosses with sharp components or built-in picks could prompt extra scrutiny, so choose plain floss to simplify security checks.
