Smart Floss dental floss has been clinically proven to be more effective than conventional floss. It has been shown to remove up to 55% more plaque than some of the most popular flosses. To make it even better, this floss comes in a biodegradable container and is environmentally friendly. So, it is biodegradable faster in a landfill unlike other materials like plastic.

Amazing floss! Great for tight contact points and gaps in teeth for a superior clean, gentel on sensitive gums, not to mention a mild, agreeable flavor. I'm impressed with how clean and fresh my mouth felt after just one use and I'll be buying this again!

Consider this floss to be a super-cleaning loofah for your pearly whites, gripping and pulling away the nasty things stuck between your teeth and traversing those extra-difficult-to-reach spots where ordinary floss won’t go. Even better, the coconut oil-enriched fibres work as a natural antibacterial treatment, soothing gums while cleaning plaque away.

I've only been using for almost 2 weeks and already love it more than the commercial floss I was previously using. The flavour is amazing, not artificial like other products. Will definitely buy again!

If you have trouble holding floss between fingers, go for pre-threaded floss holders. These Gum 889DD feature an F-shaped handle that’s simple to grasp and can effortlessly clean those hard-to-reach teeth in the back of your mouth. Not to mention the satin-like surface, which offers nonstick lubrication and allows for smooth sliding through even the tightest of contacts.

I can literally go through five other flossers and each one breaks because I have some tight spaces between my teeth these are the only ones that seem to work for me

This floss should work wonders if you have somewhat bigger gaps between your teeth. It slashes through plaque and tartar, eliminating even the hardest tartar from teeth and along the gum line. In addition, it has a silky-smooth, shred-resistant texture that allows it to glide up to 50% faster, better, and easier than typical floss products.

Ever since I found Glide I cant use any other type of floss. I have sensitive gums and narrow spacing between my teeth so these literally glide gently in between yet with a strong enough hold to pull out food particles. works perfectly fine for me!

Flossing might be challenging if you have tight teeth, braces, or dental bridgework. These floss threaders come in handy under this scenario. DenTek Floss Threaders are designed to make flossing effortless on a regular basis and can be used with any type of rolled floss. The flexible tip slips smoothly into tight spaces. Let’s not forget about the practical travel case, which keeps floss threaders safe and clean.

I have a 3 tooth bridge that is a very tight fit. My dentist gave me samples of multiple different items to try, but this is the only one I could get to work for cleaning under the bridge.

If you just want the standard formula, Tom’s of Maine Dental Floss is a great option. This woven floss is made up of nylon strands and is effective in removing plaque and food particles from teeth. Due to its wide size, it is often considered dental tape. Even better, it’s an all-natural product that doesn’t include any artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

I would recommend this product to anyone who has sensitive gums. It works well because the ribbon is flat instead of round, it has a mild spearmint flavor and it's not to waxy.

If you ever experience discomfort while flossing, consider checking out Cocofloss. It’s softer than other brands, plus it has a unique oil ingredient that soothes the gums and improves its effectiveness. The floss comes in a variety of fresh flavors including mint, coconut, strawberry, and Caracara orange. Let’s not forget about its lovely packaging, which makes it the ideal present for your loved ones.

This product came highly recommended by our family dentist, after 6 months of switching we now know why! The webbed design gets everything out while being very gentle.

The Waterpik Cordless Water Flosser, which shoots a tiny, high-powered jet of water between your teeth to wash away waste, is our (almost) final product. This gadget is ideal for those who are in a hurry or have difficulty flossing. You may use it while bathing since it is cordless and waterproof. Even better, it’s rechargeable and will alert you when it needs to be recharged.

Cordless convenience. Very effective water flosser. Much more effective and easier on sensitive gums than picks.

Flossing can be physically difficult for those with dexterity issues, but there are plenty of devices that can help, such as this one. The bristles of the Aqua Care Pro-Expert clean the teeth surfaces, and the specifically designed mirror pulse cleans deep between the teeth. If you have sensitive gums, you can utilize the sensitive mode for just the right cleaning pressure.

Proper force jet (as opposed to what other reviews say... it's a cleaning tool not a machine gun); it is transportable and eliminates the gum blood problem caused by flossing. With the addition of very little mouthwash to each use in the tank leaves fresh breath
