5.0 out of 5 stars As a Dentist, Nothing Better., June 22, 2007

I highly recommend this floss for everyone first. The only situation where this floss would not be good is when you have really tight contacts between the teeth. If you do, then you will need to get waxed floss. Though, waxed floss does a horrible job of cleaning.

We need to step back and review why we floss. The number one reason is to remove the dental black below the gumline in order to prevent gum disease. The secondary reason is to remove plaque at the contact point of the teeth. Since gum disease awareness is becoming more common, I suggest using this floss as your first and only floss.

Flossing is not easy to do. That's why I have created videos on how to floss. Dentists and dental hygienists don't stress it enough frankly because they don't get paid to educate. Profit margins for dentists are so low it doesn't make a lot of business sense to spend lots of time teaching people how to floss.

If you do floss, cutting your gums, bleeding, or "not getting it through" are not good reasons to not do it. Floss with unwaxed floss because it simply cleans better. Floss more often then the gums won't bleed. They bleed because you don't floss. If you cut your gums or can't get it through, try changing your technique. Do you use your middle fingers to floss? If not, you should. Do you use a "sawing" motion to get floss between your teeth? You should.

Don't look at the floss as the problem, look at your technique first.

Flossing with unwaxed floss is great because it DOES shred. You want the "roughness" to "grab" the dental plaque. Waxed floss just doesn't cut it.

I hardly use waxed floss in the office and I don't use it in my mouth.

Other thing to note: gum disease is not common in kids teeth. That's just the way it is. So if you really need to remove plaque and food between your kids teeth, then go ahead and use floss. Otherwise, spend the time brushing longer with fluoride toothpaste.

Unwaxed dental floss is almost always hard to find in the grocery or drug stores. I'm so glad that I found this site.

Why is it SO hard to find unwaxed, unflavored floss?? This is perfect, no complaints - wish they carried it in stores. Thank you, Amazon!
