Plackers Dental Flossers Micro Mint - 90 Count

Great for getting tricky bits from between teeth. Great price, too, and speedy delivery.

I was worried about buying these as over the years I struggle to find good floss picks that don't snap in use - and have settled for years on an American type that Tesco used to sell - but no more, sadly. These seemed similar in that many reviewers comments on the un-breakability of the floss string. With tightly spaced teeth, I can easily snap floss like it's going out of fashion. But these have proved to be the best floss picks I've used so far. The previous type from Tesco was more of a tape than these - which has floss that is a fine cord. Initially, I found this thinness tended to hurt my gums just a little more, but I also found that I was removing more tartar and debris from my teeth than with the previous type, which did surprise me as I thought floss was floss and that was that! Anyhow, perseverance paid off and now I would not be without these. The shape seems large initially, but again, this has proven to be a bonus as it means that you can more easily grip the holder and thus can more easily reach all areas of the teeth - even the back of the rear molars become easily accessible for cleaning. Top notch!

Like many others I had previously found flossing to be a chore which I tended to avoid, but these things just make it so easy. I recommend to anyone who dislikes the idea of medical professionals drilling holes in their teeth. They are also really well built - after going through a few of them (and enjoying the minty taste they provide), I was struck with the revelation that, just as I reuse a tooth brush rather than throwing it away after a few days use, so too can I reuse these. And reusable they are - your mileage may perhaps vary depending on the topography of your mouth, but at least in my case I can easily use each one for over a month. That means my pack of 90, for £7.50, will last me over 7 years daily use. And considering how convenient they are, they have certainly become a permanent part of my daily routine.

These are the best flossing tool I have found they are comfortable and easy to use the floss does not bend and dows not hurt if you hit your gum..I have very tiny gaps inbetween my teeth and sensitive gums.. I have used other flossers and cheaper ones but they tend to bend or make my gums bleed.. I think anything to do with teeth is pricey but in this case if it works for you then pay the price..cheaper versions are not as good.

Great product

Tried and tested product. I always find normal floss difficult to use in difficult to reach areas. This product has strong floss and isnt prone to break like competitors. The extra prong is useful when needed and doesnt cause interference. 10/10

I first encountered Plackers Dental Flossers in the USA, and made a point of buying plenty whenever I was over. Finding them on Amazon in the UK was a bonus. Unlike most flossers, these ones are not only easy to hold due to the flat handles, they also floss for a decent length of time without immediately bunching up. The tough floss is effective even with tight spaces between teeth. The built-in toothpick is also a good design - deployed by bending the end of the handle back on itself. This means it doesn't dig into your hand when you're flossing, and helps give you that stable handle when it's not in use. The toothpick is strong and effective. It is also very good for scraping pocket fluff out of iPhone charging sockets without shorting out the connectors. A versatile tool indeed!

Excellent product. Won't use anything else
