| GUM comfort slide flossers |
I had a problem flossing my teeth since my arm fracture although it is not my dominant arm. Husband M introduced me to these GUM soft picks that do wonders for his gums and for the first 2 weeks I started using them. Then I worried that I still needed to floss between my teeth. I found these GUM comfort slide flossers that go between tightly spaced teeth like mine. Now I am all set! I will continue using those soft picks even after I heal for ongoing gum health. M's dentist says his gums are amazing now.
One of my sisters told me 'I am so behind (the times)' so these products are nothing new!
Thank you so much for this dental advice. I shall look into this. I've been trying to brush my teeth and floss three times a day now that I have Invisalign.
ReplyDeleteI have the second type at my TV table and rocker. Easy to mess with while watching a show. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteGood for you Linda
DeleteNão são novos mas não os conhecia.

It's good to feel that one's teeth are as clean as can be! 😁
ReplyDeleteDental hygiene is so important Christine. I was reading about mouth bacteria and certain illness and how it is connected.
ReplyDeleteI never used to floss and then I went to the dentist and got my teeth cleaned and they said I need to floss. I struggle with flossing and am hopeless at it. I was reading up on it and found out about water flossers. I used it everyday along with similar tools to the 2 you have posted. Check out water flossers and see what you think. I swear by them. :-D
Interesting. I have little gum sticks... to healthy teeth and two proper arms!
ReplyDeleteOh, sisters are like that. Yes, I do like these for flossing too. Happy Monday!
ReplyDeleteHa ha about being behind the times. My dentist had me get some of these awhile back. Sadly I don't use them like I should. :(
ReplyDelete😊👍❤️
ReplyDeleteHAHA. They have been around for a long time, but look at you, catching up! I hope you are healing well.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic products, Christine - I've used both!
ReplyDeleteI don't floss all the time, scared I might bruise my gum and have been looking for the perfect gentle flosser.
ReplyDeleteEu sinceramente não conhecia esses palitos, que bom que tem novidades boas nessa área, Christine bjs.

I have some of these and use them along with flossing. So you have a water pick? That helps when flossing is not possible. Also the water pick feels good.
ReplyDeleteI don't have a Waterpik Nicole.
DeleteFrom my last trip to the store to buy floss I noticed that the slide type was becoming much more popular, and there were few varieties of conventional floss available.
ReplyDeleteHope your arm heals soon, Christine. These products are new to me. But I think I'll stick with my water pic and regular dental floss.
ReplyDeletelol. I actually prefer these too the regular string floss.
ReplyDeleteI broke my shoulder a few years ago and I know it's so hard to do a lot when you only have one arm you can use.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your arm is still giving you problems, I hope it heals soon. We have these but like Hena, I prefer the regular floss. I really like my water pic too. Even with flossing and brushing, I can still get tiny bits of food out from between my teeth. Big proponent on Water Pics. Convinced my husband and now he has one too and likes his as much as I do mine.
ReplyDeleteEspero que te mejores. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThe HH uses the gum sliders. I'll have to give them a try. Here's hoping your arm heals quickly.
ReplyDeleteGreat that is!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry dear Christine for you are having tooth trouble
ReplyDeleteNice of your hubby to give you helpful advice
Great blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteIt's good you have found things that help you.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I use the comfort slide flossers for my gums, but I also use a water pic. I also use the slide flossers to thread my needles in my sewing machine.
