GUM Soft-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

I can clean under a tight bridge more easily with this product. Really happy with them. This model for tight spaces is definitely narrower than the regular size.

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.

Work great on implants

These GUM soft pics were recommended by my hygienist. My teeth are very close together and it is impossible for me to use dental floss. The regular pics are fine for most teeth but get stuck in my molars. This is the solution. These advanced GUM pics have soft spines on them. They are curved shape and easier to insert in tight spaces. The soft spines help remove tartar along the sides of the tooth. It’s hard to describe, but my dentist is pleased with how clean my teeth are now. Also,the priceon Amazon is so much lower than what you will pay in a drugstore. Great value. I put them on Subscribe and Save.

My dentist hygienist turned me onto these little pics. I absolutely love they work really good and they feel really nice on your gums. Great value for your money. !

These are the ideal solution to never use wax string again.

I still recommend manual flossing but I’m a dental hygienist go figure. These remove debris and plaque and help massage (I’m also an LMT so had to reference massage lol)the gums. Seriously. Just buy these. If you’re arthritic and cannot manipulate string floss these curved picks are your friend.

Great idea….no more strings getting stuck on my gums….
