My husband and I started using DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks as a way to encourage increased flossing for both of us. Neither of us have ever been great at flossing - I personally hate it - so we got these thinking it would make us want to do it more often. Well, it has worked for him, he is now flossing every day. For me, I don't know. I find these just to be basically like glorified floss. They are okay, but nothing special really. The floss picks are really just a small piece of dental floss stretched between a small whishbone-shaped piece of plastic, designed to make flossing easier, maybe more fun, and probably less of a hassle. I do think it makes flossing more fun. The little picks are cool and cute and will fit easily in your purse or pocket without having to lug out that big, awkward strand of regular floss. However, I still hate to floss. I have TMJ and it just hurts to floss and hold my mouth open wide forever, and these don't do a great job of making the process easier. It is still difficult with these to reach my back teeth, and I just don't love it. So, for someone who likes flossing, these might be for you, but if you are like me and hate flossing anyway, these might not be your cup of tea, either. But, since my husband loves them, I will continue to purchase these, because he claims they are effective, and he is the one actually using them daily.

I have always tried to floss my teeth the way I should. But I have always had difficulty using dental floss. It is hard for me to get the string between some of my teeth, particularly the back ones which are closer together. Then I discovered Dentek Silk Floss Picks. I absolutely love these things! It makes flossing so incredibly easy! Instead of using the regular string floss where you have to hold onto both ends of the string, these have a string inserted in a small pick with a handle. All you have to do is hold on to the handle and push the floss between your teeth. You can do it with one hand! The floss slides between your teeth so smoothly and the floss does not shred like a lot of floss does. Easily remove foods that are stuck between your teeth. And they are very inexpensive. I have found that there is very little bleeding when I use these floss picks. And there is also a built in toothpick which means less waste. I really think this is a wonderful product and highly recommend it for people with teeth that are close together. Or to anyone who just wants to simplify their flossing routine!

Although my dentist will tell me that regular floss does a bit better job than these little guys, I love these! It is so much easier for my kids to remember and follow through on flossing their teeth each evening with these than with a regular floss container. Even I find that on those tired evenings when it seems easier to forgo flossing and get to bed a few minutes earlier, that I am more inclined to take the time with these guys. It saves time and it saves the soreness on your fingers from having floss wrapped around them. They also have different flavors which help with the kids' flossing. I also enjoy the convenience of using these when I am out. I can discreetly floss after dinner when out for the evening much easier with something like this and since they come in a closed, re-sealable bag, it is easy to put them in a bag or my luggage and not worry about getting them dirty.

I love the DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks . I always have a hard time remembering to floss my teeth every night and this picks make it so much easier to remember. I keep some everywhere . I keep them in my bathroom, the kitchen, and my handbag. They do an excellent job of cleaning food particles from between the teeth with a minimum of fuss. You do not have to deal with long pieces of floss that shred. This is a short piece of floss on a plastic handle. Just floss and toss! They do an excellent job and they also come in a mint flavor. I like to take these to work so I can floss after meals there as well. They are convenient to take along anywhere you go. The one thing that I do not like about them is the packaging because once you open the package they tend to spill all over the place. They are very reasonably priced and you can find them on sale every now and then. I recommend them to any one.

I've purchased the DenTek floss picks for a while now and I find them to be a very convenient way to address items that get stuck in my teeth throughout the day whether I am at home or away. I keep them tucked away in my car, in a nightstand at home, in my desk at work, wherever I expect to need them.

I have been using floss sticks for over five years and as a general rule, I have been very satisfied with most of the brands I have used. This was not the case with the DenTek brand. I bought them because they were the cheapest dental sticks the store was selling and I mistakenly assumed all brands were relatively equal in quality. The dental floss on the DenTek was thin and shredded or broke almost immediately after only flossing one or two teeth! Most brands of dental floss sticks glide easily through my teeth and make flossing a pleasurable experience. Using this dental floss left me frustrated and annoyed! I actually got the floss stuck in my teeth on several occasions and using this product could even be described as painful! I ended up throwing the whole pack away which left me wishing I would have just stuck with a more expensive dental floss stick!

DenTek Floss Picks are a fun easy way to floss on the go. The angled design of the pick makes it easy to reach back teeth. The floss is strong and well attached to its plastic frame. I don't think DenTek Floss Picks are as sanitary as using regular floss though. You are using the same centimeter of floss to clean between every space in your teeth. As a result you are spreading the same dirty bacteria between all of your canines. When using regular floss, you can take a long piece and move down the strand cleaning between each space with a new clean section. DenTek Floss Picks seem like a fair choice for travel or perhaps at a restaurant when you have only a couple spaces you need to clean to remove an uncomfortable chunk of food. I would not recommend using these picks as a substitute for daily cleaning with regular by-the-roll floss. In addition to being more sanitary, regular floss is much cheaper.

This brand of floss picks really stands up to the pressure. My husbands love these little gadgets. It makes flossing his teeth so much easier and he swears by this company. He has tried many other floss picks by different companies and this is the one he always goes back to. I have used them myself and I must say that I agree. They are strong picks and do not break while I am trying to clean my teeth, as other picks do. The floss is of strong substance as well and I am able to get between each and every tooth when I use them for flossing. The floss does not wear out and they have a nice and subtle minty taste that I really enjoy. DenTek also is a value company that charges less for their product than other companies offering the same thing. Also, their product that costs less is BETTER than the one that costs more. I would definitely recommend this floss picks over every other company's product on the market!

I have tried different kind of floss and floss picks but DenTek Comfort Clean Silky floss is the only floss that I liked and now I use them regularly. The floss picks are really thin and silky which makes it easy to glide between my teeth without making any effort. Generally after eating meat, pieces of meat get stuck in between my teeth, which is very irritating and unhygienic. I try to take them out by brushing but they won't come out it is when this floss picks comes to my rescue. While traveling I do not have to carry my tongue cleaner with me as the tongue scraper option is an added feature in this floss picks which I like very much. The flosses that I buy have a fresh mint flavor on it and are coated with fluoride. After flossing with this picks it leaves a little minty and sweet taste inside the mouth which I like very much. My husband did not like to floss before, but now he also likes the floss and is using them regularly.

I can't stand the feeling of something being stuck in my teeth after eating. The DenTek Comfort Clean Floss Picks are the prefect alternative to toothpick use for picking out food and also great tool to help flossing. The only negative thing I can say is that I don't like using the DenTek floss picks for the back teeth. It feels uncomfortable and awkward to reach back there with the floss pick in my opinion. The floss pick is easy to take around with you and of course to dispose of. It's a good way to quickly floss your front teeth discretely and effectively. I like how a bag of the DenTek floss picks last for awhile. There is plenty in there to last a good bit and easy to store. They aren't expensive and I think a good supplement to have with other dental hygiene supplies. I wouldn't expect these to completely replace my flossing regime, but more so as a supplement to my regular flossing regime.
