5.0 out of 5 stars Flossing Made Easy!, April 7, 2007

This review is from: Flossaid Dental Floss Holder **ONE** (Health and Beauty)

As a dentist of over 20+ years experience, I have seen over and over again the results of not flossing one's teeth. The unfortunate result of such neglect is inevitable gum disease, which over time leads to tooth loss. Gum disease almost always starts in-between the teeth and the only way to clean the germs that cause gum disease from between the teeth is with floss. Mechanical scrubbing with floss is the key, and all the daily brushings and rinsings will not remove the in-between stubborn plaque below the gumline. The bottom line is that we need to floss our teeth if we want to keep them for a lifetime.

I have heard all the excuses for not flossing: The floss is too hard to handle, my fingers turn blue, my fingers are too fat, I'm too clumsy, the floss hurts my gums, etc, etc. The Flossaide Dental Floss Holder removes most of these excuses. Of all the floss aides available, this one is the best. It has a long handle to reach way back in one's mouth, the floss is easy to load, the device is strong and will last years, and best of all, it is reusable. No more having to run to the store because the disposable flossers are gone! Load it with your favorite floss and you are set for healthy gums and teeth.

I have recommended this floss aid to my patients over the years and I strongly recommend it to you as well. One still has to develop the habit of flossing daily, and this device aides in the mechanics of flossing, making it a breeze. Get it and save your teeth!

5.0 out of 5 stars much better than disposables, April 11, 2009

This kind of floss holder used to be common before the disposable types came out. When my previous one broke (I'm not sure how old it was, around 10 years or so), I searched many stores locally without success before I found these on line.
There are several advantages to this type of holder compared to the disposables:

- Use any kind of floss you want (waxed, unwaxed, dental-tape, whatever)

- long handle allows me to get the back teeth without jamming my fingers in my mouth

- around 1" of floss exposed; easy to work into difficult areas (I have very close set teeth and have to work the floss back and forth to get between some of them)

- The device allows enough control that I can also use it to stimulate the gums around the teeth (OK, a disposable can do that too, but its hard to get fine control with my fingers jammed in my mouth for the back teeth)

- A spool of floss lasts about a year, the handle should last many years.

- The handle is easy to clean, just rinse it like a toothbrush. It doesn't come into contact with your gums; it just touches the inside of the cheek.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great little tool., September 3, 2007

I bought this on a whim and it definitely has helped me keep a regular flossing schedule which I had trouble doing before. I like how I don't need to buy replacement head packs like the other flossers out there. I can just use whatever floss I have. My only gripe is they could have made the prongs a little closer together so it would fit in my mouth a little easier.

Some advice: Make sure you get shred proof floss when using this.
