Practicon 70452102 SmileGoods Unwaxed Dental Floss

El hilo es muy grueso por tanto no se rompe cuando lo pasas por tus dientes

My review title says it all. I am an older person (70) which means, as a result of aging, my gums have receded resulting in larger gaps between my teeth where the teeth meet the gum line. Oral hygiene now requires a more concerted effort to keep all areas in tip-top shape bc food will get trapped in those areas, not to mention that exposed dentin at the receded gumline holds onto food more easily. (ah…the things to look forward to in old age!)When I came across this floss I could see that reviews were mixed, and I can see why. Unwaxed floss is much more challenging to snap past the tooth-to-tooth contacts. If you have tight contacts, this floss may not be for you. Wait til you are older! Ha!I was curious about non-waxed, bc having used waxed floss my whole life, it was feeling like it was becoming increasingly less effective for me. So I tried the unwaxed. The first time I tried it was frustrating. I was used to waxed floss easily sliding between the teeth contacts. It took effort to get the unwaxed past the contacts. But I kept at it, mostly bc I didn’t have any other floss to which I could run.Wow! This stuff really cleans the teeth gaps and areas around the gums. With no wax there is a lot more friction and a much more effective cleaning of all areas where this floss is used. I am 100% sold and can never go back to waxed. I’m completely used to it now and can navigate the challenge of its use without thinking about it.Last night I ran out of the unwaxed and had to use some waxed floss. TOTALLY unsatisfactory and I felt like I was just performing a duty, not really cleaning my teeth. By the way, using it every night, it took me a year to go through a single container. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

El producto no contiene menta, lo. cual es excelente para personas con problemas digestivos. Además es económico.

I'm the daughter of a dentist so I haven't actually BOUGHT floss very often in my life since my Dad always had millions of samples that have taken us literally a lifetime to use up! I've been using waxed floss (with two brands that were way too thick) and waxed dental tape which was completely useless--didn't get anything out from between my teeth at all. In my opinion this floss is actually THIN, not thick, but just double the strand if your teeth have spaces between them. I LOVE that it's unwaxed, as it really does a much better job at getting your teeth and gums completely free of little things that are irritating, like pepper, popcorn hulls, or bits of fruit or something. I also love the refill size that will work in my previous containers that I've used for years. I bought four: one for my bathroom, one for my bedroom, one to keep in my desk at work and one for my car. Very inexpensive and a great value!

Está muy bien en cuanto al precio, pero es verdad que cada limpieza es pesada en el sentido en el que el hilo se deshilacha y se queda atorado entre los dientes y a veces es bastante difícil retirarlo. Me queda la duda de si realmente limpia o aporta bloqueo entre los dientes. Supongo que depende mucho de la distancia que cada quien tiene entre los dientes. Me voy a terminar el carrete, pero no lo compraría de nuevo. Prefiero pagar un poco más por un hilo de mejor calidad que me ayude a hacer la limpieza más rápidamente. Eso sí, parece eterno el carrete, jajaja
