DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks, Cool Mint 150 EA

I had used the DenTek Triple Clean floss picks in the past and felt that they did not live up to the other brands I had tried so I was excited to try another variety of Dentek floss picks and give them another chance when these were made available to me as a free sample. I received a single DenTek Comfort Clean floss pick in the mail and set to work about flossing my teeth. The first thing I noticed is that unlike my regular brand of floss picks, the floss on these is flat (as is the case with the Triple Clean variety). It makes flossing a very smooth, comfortable experience and it feels as though the floss slides very easily between my teeth. Brands with round floss string tend to get stuck a bit easier.My main complaint with the Triple Clean variety I had used ... MoreI had used the DenTek Triple Clean floss picks in the past and felt that they did not live up to the other brands I had tried so I was excited to try another variety of Dentek floss picks and give them another chance when these were made available to me as a free sample.

It makes flossing a very smooth, comfortable experience and it feels as though the floss slides very easily between my teeth. Brands with round floss string tend to get stuck a bit easier.My main complaint with the Triple Clean variety I had used in the past was that the floss string was very weak and would either break or fray half-way through flossing. The string on the Comfort clean seems to be stronger or perhaps it just glides smoothr so it doesn't get caught as easily. Either way, the floss didn't fall apart as was my experience with the DenTek brand in the past. My one major complaint is that although the string didn't fray or break, it seemed to stretch out the further I got and made flossing more difficult with a limp floss string.I also had a minor complaint that the length of the overall pick is very short and while I'm flossing the sharp point of the plastic tip stabbed me in the hand. It's a pretty flimsy plastic so it isn't extremely painful but it's definitely inconvenient for a guy like me with big hands.Overall I felt that The Dentek Comfort Clean Floss Pick was indeed quite comfortable on my teeth. I didn't have sore gums like I often do with my regular brand of choice. However, with that said, I felt like they didn't do quite as good of a job flossing, possibly due to the fact that they were less abrasive on my teeth. This may in fact be a false association on my part but it'd be hard for me to convince myself otherwise. I also feel that I would end up having to use more of these than my regular brand since the floss string felt a bit flimsy. Although these are certainly a nice upgrade if you want a smooth, gentle sensation, I think I'll be sticking with my old tried and true for now.

If it were not for these floss picks, I would likely not floss my teeth on a daily basis. These picks make it so easy to floss; no more purple fingertips losing circulation due to a taught plastic string wrapped around them. You don’t have to stick two hands in your mouth trying to reach your back teeth and you don’t have a pile of string tossed into your garbage just looking all nasty. I have been able to create a healthy daily habit of flossing my teeth since using these picks and it doesn’t feel right skipping a day.

I like how gentle these flossers are. They're very comfortable to use. I've been using these for a long time, and I seem to always go back to them. I've tried other brands, but like these the most. The one thing you should know about them, is they stretch out about halfway through using one. You could keep using the same one since the floss doesn't snap easily, but I end up using two in one night. I always feel like floss does a better job when it's taut. I still think these are definitely worth a try if you find regular floss uncomfortable.

ADA Accepted

This is a huge selling point for me. I look for ada accepted dental products because I know the seal means it's been tested by dentists and proven to work. not all flossers have this seal. the fluoride mouthwash coating is great as it gets fluoride in between the teeth on top of the toothpaste and daily fluoride rinse.

Comfortable and good Quality

.Comfortable and good Quality floss.Is thin, so no aggressive cleaning. Doesn't hurt the mouth.It's gentle with gums and leaves nice minty after-taste freshmouth feeling. Like after chewing gum..Ergonomic picks handle which gives access to the back teethGreat addition for after-brush (: Loved it and recommend it.

Excellent!

Please consider giving a thumbs up to my review. It will be highly appreciated. Great quality product! It really works as intended. Will definitely get more soon! Thank you so much for this. It was made of high quality ingredients. Plus the packaging and sizes were perfect and over all good quality. I love the smell and the looks of it. I'm looking forward to purchasing another one!

False advertising at its best

I still have my wisdom teeth, so my molars are especially tight. That being said, I have small gaps in all of my front teeth so they are not completely tight everywhere. They say this product is for “extra tight teeth” on the front and back of the package, but I regularly go through at least 5 of these every time I floss. Most recently I went through 9 floss pics. Yes. NINE. The photo I’ve attached is the result of two brushing/flossing sessions. Yes, just two sessions. 15 floss pics had to be used!!! Seriously?! They often break instantly when I try to floss my molars. These are a complete waste of plastic. I typically try to use my floss picks multiple times (sometimes for days) to reduce unnecessary waste, but these Dentek ones cause me to go through more floss ... MoreI still have my wisdom teeth, so my molars are especially tight.

I’m sure these are great for the average person with tight teeth, but for people with extra tight teeth? You’re out of luck here; they simply do not withstand extra tight teeth and Dentek should not be misleading people like me with their false advertising. It’s unbelievably false advertising. Even floss picks that don’t say they work with tight teeth work better than these.

Not so Improved...

I'm an obsessive flosser. On occasion, the white less improved version, the flosser would separate from the pick. Maybe five out of the white 150 pack. I'm finding with this blue new improved version half of the pack tends to separate and it causes me to use more from the pack. Not sure what the improvement was but they need to strengthen the attachment of the floss. If I had thought sooner, I would have collected all of the ones that broke and took a picture

Really poor quality control, design breaks 40% of the time

I have tight teeth and can only use flat floss. I picked these up because I couldn't find a brand of flat floss picks that I had used before and these are horrible. The floss is not well secured in the pick at all - it either rips out and completely detaches on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd go or stretches out and loosens a bunch so that there is hardly any tension on the pick by the 3rd tooth I use it on. This morning I had to go through four picks before I even flossed my first tooth because the first three broke. I have used other brand (Plackers, Glide) flat floss picks without this issue at all.I dislike the waste that floss picks create but when I am on the go they are much easier to use than regular floss. Unfortunately either the quality control or design of this ... MoreI have tight teeth and can only use flat floss.

Unfortunately either the quality control or design of this brand is awful making it even more wasteful because I have to throw out 1/3-1/2 of the picks without even using them because they break constantly.

String snaps too easily

As a dental hygienist, I have convinced my husband to floss daily. (Yay me!) I added these to my online order when he informed me that he was running low on floss picks. Unfortunately, these picks suck. The floss snapped on the first tooth. Thinking it was a fluke, he tried another. Nope. Snapped again. I tried them. Snapped. And my teeth aren’t even tight! I didn’t bother returning these. I’m having my daughter use them but due to the sharpness of the pick end, I’m nervous to let her use them on her own.
