Dental Floss & Tape

It's floss, but not so sure it's super!

Advantages: Easy to thread through braces, more comfortable for tender teeth in orthodontic treatment
Disadvantages: Fibres come loose and stick to braces, expensive, perhaps not very thorough

...a 1/3 off promotion on Oral-B products currently. The regular price is £3.49, which I believe is around what I paid - for a box of 30! That's hardly fair! I remember thinking it was a little ridiculous a price, but when you consider that flossing with braces regardless of what you're using is going to take an age, this is more like a product to use once or twice a week. Still best to find it on offer, though, and incidentally you will probably only ...
...While this is a novel idea and I have certainly been able to floss a lot quicker and more comfortably than had I been using a standard floss or tape, I generally get at least one strand stuck in a flossing session, which is annoying and time-consuming to fix, not to mention could break something on my braces if I tugged too hard. Not only that, but it is pretty pricey. As it's not completely impossible to floss using a regular tape, and there are ...

Review of Oral-B Superfloss

Better than using hair, I guess...

Advantages: It is functional as floss. Quite easy to slide between teeth, too easy sometimes.
Disadvantages: Too much wax, gets left everywhere. Can be a little difficult to handle at times.

...it? *********** Dental Floss by Oral B. Special features: ****************** Covered with a light wax coating to help slide easily between the teeth and made with a shred resistant texture. What do I think of it? ********************* I don’t really use this regularly, I have only used this a few times as an alternative floss to my other one (also by Oral B) when it ran out in the shops. Being also made by Oral B, I expected it to be pretty ...
...dental satin tape that I usually use. To begin with, this is specifically floss and not tape. The string of floss itself is more rounded and unlike the wider flat texture of tape. I found this floss too big for the very small spaces between the teeth, but ironically, this was no better at cleaning in between the larger spaces, I found it a little difficult to control when used in the large spaces. The floss is covered with a coat of wax – I wouldn’t ...

Review of Oral B Essential Floss

Floss with waxed floss..

Advantages: easier to floss in
Disadvantages: none

...Back to the topic, oral B waxed dental floss provides a better cleaning of food debris trapped in interproximal areas of the teeth than a non-wax coated one. It is suitable to be used in patient which have tight contact point, which means in patients who have impacted and crowded teeth. If you do not have a good mouth of teeth in proper alignment. I mean you have this tooth overlap on the other, and so on, you might experience problem when using ...
...the way! But after using oral B Waxed Dental Floss, you would be experiencing better satisfaction in flossing. It makes flossing simple! Waxed floss can bring more food debris stuck in the proximal area of tooth out. It attaches more food particles on its surface. This would reduce plaque formation and so on reduce caries rate! Oral B waxed floss is a quality product which allow the flossing easier. It reach the target to make our oral cavity cleaner! ...

Review of Oral B Waxed Dental Floss

My review of floss

Advantages: Nice taste, Cheapish.
Disadvantages: Large holder.

...is one aspect of our oral hygiene which we always ignore and do not tend to bother with much however flossing realy can help keep oral hygiene at its best. Flossing firstly helps to remove any food which is stuck in between the teeth which can irritate both the teeth and the gums and secondly it helps to remove food and other things in the teeth which can cause decaying and bad breath. Also which I didnt know until I went to the dentist recently ...
...abses which let me tell you is probably one of the most painful experiences which you will ever have at a dentist. It was for me anyway. You cannot escape the pain which it cause. However if you floss too frequently or go to far up into the tooth then flossing can damage teeth and also damage gums. If after flossing your gums bleed then I would advice you to go straight to your dentist as that shouldnt happen. Well this floss is firstly reasnobly ...

Review of Oral B Ultra Floss

Floss without fuss

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: Not more widely stocked than Boots it would seem

...I have now discovered the Wisdom Easy Flosser and it does exactly what it says on the pack. The Easy Flosser is a long handle, much like a toothbrush, with a dental harp on the end. But the harp is not set vertically in line with the handle like other harps. It is set horizontally across the handle and this is what makes the big difference between this product and the other diddy little harps. The fact that the handle is long and easy to hold and ...
...between back teeth is an absolute breeze. I've never managed to floss my back teeth with other harps or with loose floss on a spool. Either my mouth isn't big enough to get my fist into whilst holding one of the tiny little harps, or the tiny little harps are a bad design in themselves. (Or I need a flip top head, as the old advert for toothbrushes goes. ;-) ) Flossing front teeth is a doddle too and the long handle means the harp is really easy ...
