Boots Dental Tape

I am one of those people who can't stand having anything between the teeth...it drives me mad! I always used floss and I was happy with it. When the floss ran out, I went out and bought something new. It was Boots dental tape. It was the first time I had used dental tape and I thought it looked a lot better than the floss. When I used it, I found that it slipped in between the teeth a lot easier than floss did. It was thin and wide, so it could clean most of the tooth whilst being easy to put in between the gaps. The dental tape is made of what seems like a polythene material. It does not snap ... more

My teeth are very close together so I have always had problems using floss. I recently changed dentist, and the new one suggested that I try tape as it had a narrow edge with extra width to do the cleaning. He specifically suggested the Boots one on price and ease of use. And he's right. This tape has just the right feel to make it comfortable to use. It doesn't cut into my fingers and slides easily between all my teeth, including up into the gumline. As it is available unflavoured I don't need to worry about it interfering with homeopathic remedies so I can use it after I have taken the last ... more

As a Qualified dental nurse everyday I see people come in and out asking for recommendations for the best dental floss or tape. I of all people know how important it is to floss your teeth on a regular basis, it removes food and debris that can get caught between the teeth that a toothbrush wont always remove, this can cause gum disease and decay if left to fester. So it is very important to use a floss/tape that is effective and easy to use. We recommend Boots Dental tape for our patients. The reasons are as follows:- * It is tougher than your average floss so it wont break or fray so easily ... more

I've only just discovered dental floss after being told to use it by my dentist. I've had a fixed retainer brace for 10 years and have just had it removed so only now am I able to use it properly. I've found this dental tape to be more effective than floss, due to my brace my teeth are very close together and usual dental floss is too thick to get between the gaps. The tape is cheap at about £2 and you get quite a bit in the dispenser [sorry, not sure of exact length, but it will certainly last you a couple of months] As a novice at flossing its taken some practice to get the hang of it! It ... more

I have been using dental floss for years, but my boss suggested I try dental tape instead. So I did. It is far superior to floss and I now wouldn't use anything else. The brand I have at the moment is a Boots one but the Oral B one is as good, if not better. Dental tape is basically a lot thinner than floss and so it gets between teeth better. It is quite strong as I have never broken it while using it. You can usually get regular and mint varieties, and the mint one is better. ... more

It was recommended to me by the hygienist at the dentists that I floss more often and she recommended that I should use tape not floss as it clears more. The dentist said that Boots tape was as good as any other. The case has an easy open lid, with a built-in safety blade that cuts the tape easily. In the year that we (me and my wife) we have used it it has done wonders to the look of our teeth and gums and never has broken during use. It's so easy to use and works well. We did try tape on offer by a well known manufacturer but was fraying easily and breaked normally ater maybe 3 teeth, so as ... more
