GUMSoft-Picks Advanced, Easy to Use Dental Picks for Teeth Cleaning and Gum Health, Disposable Interdental Brushes with Convenient Carry Case, Dentist Recommended Dental Picks, 90 Count (Pack of 3)

I use these all the time after lunch at work—they do a great job of cleaning my teeth. Recently, I was on a cruise with some friends when one of them mentioned he wished he had a toothpick. I immediately pulled out one of these, and he was so impressed—he’d never seen anything like it before. The next day, he still had it with him! I had to let him know I had plenty more, so he could go ahead and toss that one. LOL

Flexible, Easy to use. Paper is not as thick as it used to be. Be careful when peeling paper off.Good for shekves, pospters, Tabletops. Have used it for drawers and shelves for many years.

Excellent for removing food from teeth after a meal, especially when your toothbrush is not available. I leave these in my purse when I go to a restaurant or home of a friend.

I wear braces right now and this is part of my arsenal for eating out. Everything gets caught in the braces, but this gets everything out within a reasonable amount of time after a meal. It has an angled, slightly flexible tip - great for the back teeth area - and is a soft enough texture that I have no worries about damaging my brackets or wires with this. I tried using it like a floss in between teeth, but it isn't thin enough for my needs. For that, I still use an interdental brush - ultra tight version. The only thing that I am unsure about is when to throw it out - I wash it with hand soap after each use and throw it out weekly.

I'm not particularly fond of flossing. Some teeth are so close together that the floss sometimes gets stuck between them and breaks. Getting to back teeth is nearly impossible and a wire glued behind four of my front teeth; that's intended as a retainer after braces; makes those teeth especially complicated to floss. I didn't floss much in my youth and it's resulted in thousands of dollars in dental and periodontist care including a few surgeries to try to hold onto my natural teeth as gums receded. So far I've managed to hold onto all but one tooth, but it's been a struggle. I knew I needed to floss in the past few years, and really tried, but it's hard and just didn't happen 100% of the time. I've driven 40 miles to the periodontist every three months for professional teeth cleaning for the past three years.These picks make "flossing" so fast and easy! I stick them between teeth at the gum line and work them back and forth until they squeak. They have a slight minty taste, and it's easy to reach between even the back teeth with them.I used them at least once a day from one professional teeth cleaning to the next. The dental assistant called the periodontist in for my appointment with him before cleaning my teeth as she was so impressed with how clean my teeth were this time that she wanted to show him before doing the cleaning, which took half as long as usual. Instead of three months next time, I can return in four and that may get even longer with continued use.At the dentist's office, to which I hadn't been for a couple of years (lots of periodontist instead) the assistant said to the dentist "This is the patient with the excellent dental hygiene." As I said, I've tried, but certainly never heard that before. They did the test which sent me to the periodontist in the first place, where they measure gum recession around each tooth. It was previously full of 5's to 7's for me; which isn't good. This time all but one were three or less; up to three being "no problem". The gums are actually growing back.You get a lot of these picks for the money, so it's no problem to use once and throw away. Once the tip gets bent it's harder to use in the back, so once in awhile I use two for one cleaning. The case that comes with each individual pack (there were three packs in the shipment) holds six picks and is small and easy to carry in a purse so you can use them after eating away from home.I'm so impressed with these for ease of use and effective cleaning I've given a six-pack case to several friends and; having first seen them in a store; bought my second package on Amazon so I could write a review.As a boomer, friends tend to have few-to-no natural teeth left and wish they'd taken better care of their real teeth. If flossing is so time consuming and onerous a job that you often skip it, give these a try. You'll be glad you did when you get to my age (or are my age) and can still eat nuts and other foods that are difficult-to-impossible to chew without teeth or with dentures.

Perfect to carry in your purse! They are soft on your teeth and gums which is a plus for us sensitive teeth gals!

Long lasting and effective

These are my favorite floss/picks. Each package comes with a travel case so you can have them on the go. They are soft yet strong enough that they don't bend when you are using them.
