Ooo, be careful...I recently chipped a molar when my handy handled flosser thing got stuck between two bottom teeth and smacked into the top molar when I yanked it out of stuck position! .-= Amy´s last blog ..Flying away =-.

With giant teeth like mine, I am a hardcore flosser! This looks like something Honey would like. He brushes his teeth with no toothpaste on his way to work. He also has those little flossers with picks in the car. Oh, he is a multi-tasker, that one! .-= Capri Kel´s last blog ..52@5 =-.

Funny you posted this: dental care has been hot on the minds of my family lately since my mother went in and found she needed serious dental work – many appointments over the course of the year. The dentist started to talk about the flossing, etc. and, well, let’s just say the message got heard loud and clear in light of the upcoming treatments. So now we are all reminded on a regular basis to floss, rinse, use a tongue cleaner… Most of this is routine, except the flossing – we’ve all been notsogreat about it. I think I’ll try this device – at the very least, it saves having my hands and fingers twisted all over near my mouth to get the string through all the areas!

Emily – it’s awful isn’t it…such a beautiful face as this marred by unflossed teeth? No more!

Loretta – VS2010? Very progressive! And typical with the crash!

Ceecee – baby steps for me…I ain’t gonna floss with regular floss so I hope this helps some!

Lisa – That’s the floss they have in Heaven I think!

ETW – My mom-in-law uses those and swears by them…I may have to try them too!

Caprilis – I have had no trouble at all with these coming apart…worth a try and cheap too so if you don’t like it you haven’t lost much

I've tried similar products in the past but the floss always comes off of the thing it is stretched on. Maybe I'll give this one a try though. .-= Caprilis´s last blog ..Way Back Aloha =-.

I like those individual flossers with a pointy end. I grab one in the evenings and do it while I hang out on the computer or watch a show. .-= Evil Twin's Wife´s last blog ..799. The Dinosaur Era =-.

The trouble with all those floss type helpers, is that they can’t wrap the floss up around each tooth. They only get the gunk that lives between each set of teeth. My hygienist says that to do the job properly, you have to first floss one tooth, and then the one up next to it.

All that said—I only floss the week before cleanings, too.
Heck, If Willy Wonka can go a lifetime eating candy, not floss, and still have great teeth–so can I.
