Oral-B Glide Bacteria Guard Dental Floss Picks, Mint, 75 Picks

Recognition of a superior flossing product might be a sign of aging, but I’m at peace with it. I have to be diligent about my oral care and have flossed daily for decades. Glide is my favorite standard floss as it’s extra minty and moves effortlessly between teeth - even the crowded areas where other flosses can struggle or tear. Glide Picks boast similar attributes: They are minty, clean between teeth with minimum effort and are easy to transport. The finger grip prevents slips and the pick end is gentle enough to travel the gum line without irritating them. It’s undoubtedly an upgrade from the store brand option which suffers from a rigid pick. My only hesitation pertains to the use of disposable plastic, but I didn’t deduct any stars as I believe the product to ... MoreRecognition of a superior flossing product might be a sign of aging, but I’m at peace with it.

Hi! After every visit to the dentist, I was always strongly encouraged to use dental floss. I really wanted to get into the habit, but something always went wrong. Every attempt to use dental floss ended with sore, striped fingers, and my back teeth—premolars and molars—feeling neglected. No matter how I twisted or turned, I couldn’t reach them with regular dental floss. As a result, this painful and inconvenient process, which was only half effective, faded from my life. 🔻 PACKAGING 🔻 The floss picks come in a flat plastic bag, which doubles as a ziplock, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out. The design is simple and understated. The floss pick itself is small, thin, and curved, fitting comfortably in the hand. The size is ideal even for a small ... MoreHi! After every visit to the dentist, I was always strongly encouraged to use dental floss. I really wanted to get into the habit, but something always went wrong. Every attempt to use dental floss ended with sore, striped fingers, and my back teeth—premolars and molars—feeling neglected. No matter how I twisted or turned, I couldn’t reach them with regular dental floss. As a result, this painful and inconvenient process, which was only half effective, faded from my life. 🔻 PACKAGING 🔻 The floss picks come in a flat plastic bag, which doubles as a ziplock, so you don’t have to worry about them falling out. The design is simple and understated. The floss pick itself is small, thin, and curved, fitting comfortably in the hand. The size is ideal even for a small mouth, although at first, I was concerned it wouldn’t reach my farthest, most inaccessible teeth. The plastic handle is dense and sturdy—it’s never broken on me. Once, I gave a floss pick to my father, and I worried it might break under his grip, but it held up just fine. The handle doesn’t slip at all and is very comfortable to hold. The thread is securely attached to the pick, thin but very strong. It’s reliable, doesn’t fray into smaller strands during use, and has never broken. ► Frequency of Use I checked with my dentist about how often to use dental floss. It's recommended to use floss in the evening, before brushing with a toothbrush. Ideally, you should floss after every meal, but that’s not always practical, so at the very least, try to do it in the evening after your last meal. I aim to floss every day, and sometimes more often—for example, after eating chicken, I use it to remove leftover food. Honestly, I was shocked at first by how much food gets stuck between my teeth, even after brushing. 🙈🥴 Only then did I realize how important it is to floss before brushing. Floss removes trapped food, making room for the brush’s bristles to clean effectively. Without flossing, your toothbrush may end up pushing food debris deeper into the gaps, which can lead to unpleasant issues. ► Effectiveness For me, the effectiveness of floss picks far surpasses that of regular dental floss, by many times over. I can easily clean the hard-to-reach areas between my teeth, especially the sides, which is difficult to do with regular floss. Floss with a handle gives me better control over cleaning the interdental space, reducing the risk of injury, minimizing bleeding, and improving the quality of cleaning. The thread’s strength and its resistance to fraying mean there’s a lower chance of leaving behind bristles or experiencing poor cleaning. I can also remove plaque from difficult-to-reach areas, like the outermost teeth, where toothbrush bristles often don’t reach. The pick has a toothpick on the opposite end, allowing you to not only floss but also remove stuck food particles from the lower part of the interdental space. Additionally, the floss has a pleasant mint flavor, making the process of flossing much more enjoyable. I find the mint flavor to be much better than using regular floss. It even feels good on the tongue, heh. The packaging’s compact size and the individual floss picks make it easy to carry them with you, so you can use them whenever needed, which helps maintain good oral hygiene. On average, I use 1 to 4 picks per session, depending on the situation. There are 75 picks in a pack, which lasts about a month, and the price is fantastic—just $4! So they’re very economical. If anyone still thinks flossing is unnecessary and a waste of time and money, I’ll remind you of two key points: Regular removal of deposits from the interdental space can prevent cavities from spreading between neighboring teeth, especially if there’s no contact between them and hygiene is maintained. Poorly cleaned dental deposits can cause bad breath. Yes, really! So, if you want fresh breath and healthy teeth, it’s better not to skip flossing. In short, I highly recommend these floss picks because I find them far superior to regular floss, with many additional benefits

This pack of 75 floss picks didn't hold up for me and I was disappointed at their performance, because I truly expected more from them. Oral-B is a well known and trusted name and therefore I was anticipating a high quality, dental product. With that being said, I must mention that I did like the mint flavor. It was present immediately while flossing and made my mouth feel fresher. When it comes to the flossers themselves, they are comfortable to hold and they have anti slip ridges perfectly situated for an easy, secure grip. The tip, although flat by design, slides easily between teeth to remove debris. The floss part is flat as well, however with each successive use, it breaks and you cannot complete your dental routine.

Does its job but could definitely be better

I received this product complimentary from Influenster. While it does its job, it could definitely be better. It comes with many picks, and the picks feel quite lightweight. The biggest problem with these floss picks is that they feel almost too thin and flimsy. I find that they tend to break fairly quickly, resulting in me having to use multiple picks to floss all my teeth. They feel much thinner than other floss picks I use, so if other picks feel painful for you, this may be for you. I don’t notice any particular taste or flavor with these. They use a ziplock style closure for the bag, but I feel like they could be more secure.

Snap easily with tight teeth

I was excited to try these out because since I have tightly packed teeth, it's often hard to get traditional floss in the crevices and it tends to fray really easily as well. Unfortunately, these floss picks did not stand the test of tight teeth - they very quickly began to bend and fray a bit after a few teeth and I was worried it would snap - which it eventually did after only the first quadrant of my mouth. I thought maybe the first one I tried was a dud and tried another, but that one snapped before I could finish the other quadrant. Two floss picks and I couldn't even floss the whole of my top teeth! I did notice that the floss glided rather well between my teeth before it snapped so if your teeth are not tightly packed then perhaps it would be more durable, ... MoreI was excited to try these out because since I have tightly packed teeth, it's often hard to get traditional floss in the crevices and it tends to fray really easily as well.

I did notice that the floss glided rather well between my teeth before it snapped so if your teeth are not tightly packed then perhaps it would be more durable, and the minty flavor with a slight hint of sweetness was also rather pleasant. Unfortuantely, however, they do not work for my teeth!
