I usually use the plastic C shaped dental flossers to clean my teeth. I ran out and am also trying to explain to my kid how important is to get that crap out of his gums.
Whipped out an old roll of Colgate mint floss and I can not, for the life of me, jam two fingers in my mouth and scrape my back molars with this piece of 0lb fishing line. There just isn't enough room. |

Don't ask me, I can't make floss alone work either. I use one of these instead of the C-shaped picks, actually makes it easier to get the back teeth. Probably less wasteful than the C-shaped picks.

I have these and use them pretty much after every meal. My twice a year cleanings last about 20 minds and my dentist raves about how great my teeth are because I take good care of them. I can't get my fingers in the back of my mouth either, so the tool Is the lifesaver. |

I love satin dental tape. Hate the C things… the floss always breaks.

Personally hate normal floss and the dental picks, I like care one dental tape. Doesn't snag and gets all the junk out, no problem. With the picks I tend to have trouble getting in between my back teeth for some reason

Glide every night before I brush for the last time and hit the rack.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you’re capable of great violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful, you’re harmless.

Water picks were popular. Still are for people who don’t floss. There are even options to have it on your shower head.

Flossers are cave man. Water flosser is supreme.

They taught us to floss when we were kids, instead of CRT and new gender theory. So as a result, we can do simple things like floss our teeth without buying extra accessories from China.
That's how it worked before plastic dental flossers. Hands are not larger, and mouths are certainly not smaller. |

Disposable flossers and butt wet wipes. Don't know how I lived without them in the olden days.

What kind of kielbasa fingers do you people have that you can’t floss with floss, the way God intended? I hate those little plastic flossers. They just seem to end up as disgusting litter on sidewalks and in parking lots. Or on my floor from my kids not throwing them away.

Like posted above, get the the reloadable ones. Make flossing easy, and you are tossing pounds of plastic into the garbage every year.
The dentist told me that flossing is more important than brushing for long term tooth health (but both are still important) and he sees so many people with problems that could have been avoided if they had flossed regularly. |

I have all my wisdom teeth so getting the back molars is near impossible. The little Y shaped stick things that you can put floss on make it a 30 second job, otherwise it would take me forever. |

Do people just toss them on the ground? I see them in many places I would not expect them to be. |

Flossers suck, but I have yet to find the tier 1 dental floss that doesn't get shredded going into narrow gaps between teeth or getting stuck.

Come to think of it, women starting shaving about the same time plastic dental floss became popular.

Costco has the Waterpik Ultra Plus and Cordless Pearl Water Flosser Combo Pack on sale right now for $59.99.
https://www.costco.com/waterpik-ultra-plus-and-cordless-pearl-water-flosser-combo-pack.product.4000112236.html Picked one up at my local Costco warehouse to replace a decade plus old Waterpik flosser WP-100 tank that finally gave up the ghost. Had replace the stupid hose and handle several times over the years on that old Waterpik tank. Like others, prior to using plackers style dental flossers, I used a tool that used floss string for ages. Never could properly use the floss string on my fingers to floss. |

I like the Reach brand. Have big hands and a small mouth, never any issues. Just gotta wrap it around both index fingers several times to get it taught.
