Practicon 70452102 SmileGoods Unwaxed Dental Floss

Great quality floss. Thin but super strong. Easier to grip than waxed floss. This floss gets into hard to reach places with ease and has great cleaning power. I was pleasantly surprised at the size. Easy to use, was recommended by my dentist. Will buy again.

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

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

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.

Good floss, but it's too thick for my tight teeth.
