Follow Up To Floss Sticks

[jennyjoan]

I had mentioned that dentist couldn't emphasise enough of the use of these wooden sticks - anyway they were too thick and snapped. Then sis brought me over the fine brushes but they had metal stems - no, they made my fillings go "ping".


Came across some more in superdrug - they are the best.

plastic brushes on a plastic stem. hurray.

Was able to floss with ease the first time today.

Glad you have found something that suits you Jennyjoan.

Yes think it was you Ubasses who had recommended various things.

i have to go back to dentist in April to be fitted with a final titanium plate and I know she will notice if I have been flossing.

[ubasses]

Oh yes they can definitely tell. I have just got told off for not seeing the Hygienist enough.

I dislike the Superdrug ones, much prefer the ones with a metal stem.
I think I'm addicted to flossing...

I found a device called a Waterpik very useful, it uses a very high pressure jet of water to 'Floss' your teeth, it is a bit tricky to start with and I re-grouted the wall tiles a few times accidentally but the end result is now noticeable to me (and my dentist!), no bleeding gums at all now. Highly recommended
