The Most Comfortable Dental Floss for Bridge and Brace Wearers If you wear braces or a bridge, you know that flossing your teeth can be an exercise in futility and frustration. At times the floss gets snagged on the bridge work, while at other times it is actually shredded by the dental work in question. The result is frustration, bleeding of the gums and in some cases even an enticement to quit flossing altogether and instead rely on mouth rinses to take care of the plaque that is building up between the teeth - even as you are reading this! You do know that the American Dental Association suggests that you floss your teeth daily, right? Those who are still on the lookout for the most comfortable dental floss for bridge and brace wearers should read on, because there are some innovations that have most likely still remained under your radar. Glide Threader Dental Floss Leave it to Crest to come up with a dental floss product uniquely formulated for those with braces and dental bridges. Available in a 30 count pack, this premeasured length of dental floss is outfitted with a threader tip that makes it perfect for jiggling its way underneath any braces or bridges. Gone are the days when the floss gets caught and needs to be gingerly removed without providing the hygienist recommended flossing action. Butler Gum Expanding Dental Floss Gum has come out with a distinctive kind of dental floss that those with braces and bridges are sure to appreciate: expandable dental floss. It is easy to fiddle this dental floss in between the tight spaces and crevices. Once in place, the friction created by the flossing and also the wetness of the saliva causes the floss to expand, making it even more effective in the space allotted. It is waxed for comfortable use. Gum hopes that bridge and braces wearers will come to appreciate this expandable dental floss for the level of comfort it offers to those whose gums might already be aggravated. DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks Dental flossers are not a new invention. The Patent Office actually gave a patent for a flosser as far back as 1916. Yet in addition to inventiveness, there is now also innovation, and what in the past was little more than a plastic handle with floss, has now been transformed into a plastic handle with comfortable silk floss. It is perfect for the tight spaces generated by braces and bridges, and allows for easy manipulation. Remember that there is not one floss that will work for everyone. It is a good idea to play around with different kinds and even different brands. In some cases your dentist should be able to offer you samples. If this is not possible, check in the travel section of your supermarket for a trial size version of the dental floss you want to try.
