I cant tell you how many times I have been to the dentist, to have him ask me if I am flossing my teeth daily. I would look at him and nod to say that of course I am flossing. He would just smile back as if somehow knowing that I was lying through my almost white but completely un-flossed teeth! This isn't to say I never tried, it just always seemed I could never master the art. I could manage in between my two front teeth but that was about my limit before I would throw away the string and give it up as a bad job. I know the importance of flossing between you teeth as part of your oral care routine but could just never manage it, and if I am really honest ...  Read the complete review

I'm always interested in new dental products to see what the latest 'must have' items are on the dental hygiene market and a few years ago when this Braun Oral-B Hummingbird first came out, I thought it would be worth a try. And by pure chance, I actually won this in a local pub raffle one summer, so it gave me an ideal opportunity to try it out. To try and understand what it is, this item caters for that often forgotten area between your teeth, where many will simply brush their teeth everyday, but forget about flossing out those areas between the teeth and in the gum line where food can get trapped, and still remain, after brushing. Hence, it can ...  Read the complete review

I think a healthy, clean looking smile is one of the sexiest things. There is really no point spending all your money on the most expensive beauty products and the most stylish clothes if you don't take care of your teeth. I always brush twice a day at the very least. I use an alcohol free mouthwash but something I still do find to be the most cumbersome of all my dental routine, is flossing. I recall seeing on the American TV show the Doctors a dental expert saying if he had to pick only one thing for people to do out of brushing, using mouthwash and flossing, he would pick flossing one hundred percent of the time. He said that the food that settles between your teeth ..  Read the complete review

the hummingbird is quite a crafty yet simple idea. Floss on a stick! The whole point is that it's now much simpler to floss, none of that fiddling about with huge lengths of floss. Also if you have large hands or poor manual dexterity it means you have more chance of being able to utilise floss. The vibrating aspects of the flosser also helps to ease it between the teeth. But now for the negatives... the floss is actually rather thick, which means if you have tight contacts between your teeth you might not be able to get it between you teeth anyway! secondly it isn't particulary cheap £4.99 for the starter pack then £2.50 for 10-15 refills. ...  Read the complete review

I don't floss, but my mum does! She has problems with her gum line and it's absolutly essential tat she flosses, but like me she found that flossing with that.. string/floss was fiddly, annoying and caused more hassle then it was worth. I gave up on flossing basically, sorry dentists! Anyways, it is quiet and doesn't disturb everyone in the house when it is used and becasue its so efficient flossing becomes fast. The one time I did use it (after changing the head) I was nearly converted to the way of the flosser, purely by the novelty of it, it cleans between teeth, its quiet, it isn't uncomfortable to use, and it is just really nice how you can change the floss wands to  Read the complete review
