According to figures from the latest Adult Dental Health Survey - a report commissioned by the NHS Information Centre revealed that only 22 percent of people use floss as part of their daily dental health routine. It also found less than half of all adults in the UK have an acceptable oral hygiene routine. I have to confess I was one of the 78% percent until a visit to the dentist a couple of years ago. He advised me I needed to floss more often, but in truth I never really flossed at all. I had tried once many years ago. I protested to the dentist that my teeth were far to close together, and in the past when I tried my mouth ended up a blood mess with cut ...  Read the complete review

We all know that to keep your teeth and gums healthy it is necessary to not only brush the teeth but also to floss after brushing. Put into practise this is more difficult, as given that I generally take a couple of minutes to clean my teeth, flossing them is another regime which quite honestly I could do without. However, spurred on by a recent trip to the dentist, I endeavoured to make sure that I flossed my teeth every couple of days this year and so went looking for a good dental floss. The Oral B Satin Floss looks in shape and appearance not dissimilar to any other branded dental floss. The floss is packaged in a small blue tub which has a snap back lid ...  Read the complete review

If you want to keep your teeth, bottom line is you have to look after them. If you don't look after your teeth then you can leave your mouth open to an infestation of acid producing bacteria which feed off of the food particles left in our mouths, which can lead to cavities and of course, what I'm sure everyone dreads - bad breath. I'm pretty sure everyone remembers to brush their teeth at least twice a day, but how many people actually take the time to use dental floss to get into those hard to reach places in between your teeth that your toothbrush simply cannot reach regardless of how often you brush them. Good oral hygeine begins with brushing and ...  Read the complete review

I tried several different types of floss before I found Oral B Satin, but hated them all. They were all of the too-thick drawstring variety, and as I have almost non-existent gaps between my teeth, flossing was virtually impossible and resulted in the unnerving sensation that I'd permanently loosened a load of teeth. I knew I needed something super sleek, and that's when I realised about dental 'tape' as opposed to conventional floss. This Oral B specimen seems to be one of the very few tape varieties on offer. I was relieved to find something that could finally fit between my teeth and get them properly clean, so have been using this brand now for years. It ...  Read the complete review

I am an avid dental hygeine freak and having tried nearly all dental products on the market including nearly all floss this is most definately my favourite one by far. So many makes of floss are thin, hard cotton type material that are harsh to slide in between each tooth and then grate on the gumline rather than gliding next to it and reaching furthur into each crevice with ease and without pain. The satin floss by oral b however does this with ease. The floss is not like a thin cotton but a tape and it is far more flexible and softer and literally glides in between each tooth and is soft enough to rub below the gumline and into awkward places for a full ...  Read the complete review
