I am not a consistant flosser, but since I purchased the Hummingbird I have been flossing more often. I use both the floss and the picks. The picks work well on the back teeth, especially.

I have a hard time finding fault with a product that encourages me to floss. While the flossing attachments still have some room for improvement, I am optimistic that Oral B will solve that problem and we will be able to buy better refills in the future. In the meantime, I'd say the Hummingbird will make my next trip to the dentist a little easier.

My teeth are very tight and flossing has never been a joy of any kind, so I often don't do it! Then I got this little buzzer thingy and things have changed. Even though I still have trouble getting the floss between my teeth, once it is in there, I can feel it is doing a superb job of getting the tiny bits and goo off my teeth in areas regular flossing just doesn't go, and it does it in a third of the time regular flossing takes. I thought having a battery powered tooth pick was the height of arrogance, stupidity, and conspicuous consumption to the Nth degree, but I have changed my mind. The toothpick also gets into others spots the flosser can't reach. I will now be PROUD to visit my dentist.

I gave it four stars instead of 5 because the floss, although very good, still shreds a tiny bit, due to my tight teeth;however it DOES last an entire flossing session, unlike regular floss. Over all, this is well worth the price and the very slight learning curve.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than flossing, August 20, 2006

1. Eliminates that looping the string around your fingers stuff

2. Causes less damage to the gum, because (once you get the hang of it) one can control it better than the floss

3. Gets out more gunk than I did with the floss

I am not a fan of flossing, but I can do it properly, but it has always been stressful. If you have tight teeth, this gadget takes a bit of experimenting to get it down (seems to work better without wibrating), but it really feels better and seems to clean better. Try it, and take the time to learn to "drive" it. (It is cheap to try.)

I rinse the string after every tooth (you will want to), and it is reusable until it breaks or you feel like replacing it.
