Dental Floss in General ... After pulling out the desired amount, the floss is pulled against a small protected blade in the dispenser to sever it. The dental floss is held between the fingers. It can be difficult to grasp floss due to the tension required to push between certain teeth, and reducing friction as the fingers and floss become wet from saliva. To keep a hold, the floss can be wrapped around one or both fingers. Doing this on or above the first joint allows that finger to be used in conjunction with the thumb in a traditional pinch grip, to reduce excessive tension on the skin. Wrapping dental floss too tight as a tourniquet reduces circulation. So it is wise to loosen the wraparound when alternating to a fresh segment of floss. An alternative way to make the floss easier to handle is to make a loop and tie the ends together using a couple of knots. The resulting ring is easy to handle even in wet conditions and does not put as much tension on the skin as when wrapping it around the fingers.

I also tried flosses from Tesco and Boots and found both of very poor quality. I will review each of these separately in the future. In order to floss, I normally take a thread long around 25 centimetres, I then hold it between my fingers and start flossing gently in between my gums. It is important to floss gently, because flossing can damage your gums if done too strongly. The movement need...more

Premium Review Dental Floss in General: Flossing is very important (333 words)
by - written on 06/04/08 (Very useful, 262 readings)
Rating:

There are some products in life where I think that there is good value at the low end of the price spectrum and there are other products where I think that it is better to pay a bit more and assure quality. Dental flosses fall into the second category in my experience and in my view. The reason why I say so is because I have been forced to use dental flosses due to the nature of my teeth. Food gets stuck in between teeth, it causes me pain and also is far from helping my sex appeal to go higher, if you see what I mean. I do not think I should spend too much time on these details. As a fact, I need to floss after each meal. In the beginning In used ...  Read the complete review

Crowned Review Floss or Rot?? (1021 words)

Flossing is one of those things that quite frankly we don’t do enough of. Why have I come to this conclusion? Well, it’s a common fact and most dentists would back me up that brushing teeth alone is not enough, even the best of teeth brushes cannot get rid of everything between our teeth. So, the best way to ensure that you keep healthy teeth and gums is to floss, basically getting right between our teeth and at the gum line. Flossing can help prevent horrible conditions like gingivitis (bleeding gums) and ultimately more awful conditions like peridontitis. I also think the very fact that there are so few opinions on flossing on dooyoo ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Dental Floss in General: You should never neglect your gums! (287 words)

"You should never neglect your gums!", or so says Julia Robert's character in Pretty Woman! She's right you know, flossing should be an integral part of your daily oral hygiene routine. Alot of people either aren't that sure how to do it properly or they can't be bothered, but once mastered, (and it's not hard really!) it takes less than a minute to do. Dental Floss comes supplied in plastic dispensers that contain on average about 50 meters of floss. To use you dispense the desired amount and then wrap it around your two index fingers and guide it between each tooth and under the gumline and move it backwards and forwards in a sawing motion to ...  Read the complete review

…a few things I expect to be associated with satin. Dental Floss: something I wouldn’t expect. Around 40% of the surface area of your teeth doesn’t get touched by brushing alone, which is why flossing is also important as part of your daily dental care routine. After some disasters with cheaper varieties, I decided to try one of the Oral B sorts instead since it was a brand name I recognized from home. There were various types available, and for no particular reason I settled on the- ******** Oral B Satin Floss ******** Most floss comes in dispensers of one sort or another, though with too many brands these days they seem to ...  Read the complete review

Premium Review Dental Floss in General: Oral B Ultra Floss - Something to get into your teeth. (653 words)

...is the closing comment I get every time I visit my Dentist. Now that's easier said than done. As any of us who already do floss are aware, there are problems with this particular form of oral hygiene. If you get a poor quality material, the gaps between your teeth tend to retain the weak and frayed bit of floss, adding an unattractive sort of raffia look to your mouth. Not only is it visually unpleasant, it's also maddening if you happen to have that elusive strand tickling your gums, and you just can't get it out. The worst thing to do at this point is to try flossing again to get rid of it as you stand every chance of simply adding to the ...  Read the complete review
