This is not like your normal floss. This is a game changer for your dental health. I have had issues with my gums for years. My dentist couldn’t figure out why. I didn’t have like the hard plaque build up, but my gums were not healthy. He even asked if I maybe had some medical condition. I have been using this for about a month now. I started off flossing three times a day. And it was gross. Satisfying, but gross. This floss literally scrubs your teeth. It gets all the gunk. And since it’s black, you see the result. It gets all the gunk causing bacteria, which leads to all the inflammation. I still brush at least twice a day, and continue to use a water pick Becuase I have an implant and crowns. No more inflammation, no more bleeding gums. They are completely pink and healthy. I floss at least once but try to twice a day. For years I tried it all. Regular floss, oil pulling, ect. Don’t hesitate. Buy it. Read more
This floss cleans really well and expands to reach between teeth easily. The charcoal makes it feel extra fresh and smooth. Great quality and no breakage! ✨ Read more
Really good floss! My entire mouth has crowns, bridge, fillings and implants. This floss gets in between, fluffs up quickly, and basically "scrubs" my teeth. This is a natural floss. Its lightly flavored mint, the dispenser is sturdy and doesnt waste floss trying to hook it over the cutting spot. It fluffs up quickly, so it gets even "scrubbier" in between teeth! TL;DR - This floss is best! Read more
Many of us in the dental profession are mourning the loss of Gentle Gum Care woven floss (formerly made by Reach, then Listerine). It’s been the profession’s favorite (my opinion) for years. No one knows what happened to it- you just can’t find it anywhere. So what’s the best alternative? I decided to try out a few candidates. Cocofloss (26 cents/yd)- good sturdy floss, slightly coarse texture, medium thickness, subtle coconut flavor. Dr. Tung’s Smart Floss (14.4 cents/yd)- thickest of the bunch, very soft texture, slight cardamom flavor. Xlent Expandable Floss with Charcoal (~10 cents/meter)- medium thickness, waxy texture, nice mint flavor. Hayden Expanding Floss (~10.5 cents/yard)- only slightly thicker than normal floss, medium texture, subtle mint flavor. First a word about expandable flosses- they only expand when you are not pulling on them. But flossing involves pushing and pulling and scraping up and down. You can’t floss your teeth effectively without putting pressure on the floss. So when you’re flossing, they are not expanded. All four of these flosses splay a bit when flossing, to look more like ribbon. The thicker the floss, the more it splays. So which do I like the best? I like Dr. Tung’s. I love the thickness and the soft, fluffy texture. And I happen to like cardamom, though I will admit it’s not as refreshing as mint. It is a bit more expensive than the cheaper flosses in the group, but not on the level of Cocofloss. I think it’s worth the extra pennies. Cocofloss is good if you want a coarser texture to make it feel like you’re really scraping your teeth, and if you don’t mind paying a hefty premium. Xlent floss was a bit too waxy for my taste, and the black color is a bit odd (though I can’t see it when it’s in my mouth). But I liked its flavor the best and it feels like it does a good job. So if you want the cheapest, but effective floss, it’s the best value. Hayden floss is better than regular floss, but it comes in a distance fourth for me. Of course, you will likely have a different order than I do. But hopefully, this will give you some idea what they’re like. Final note- none of these flosses feel the same as our beloved Gentle Gum Care woven floss. And all of them are more expensive. But to their credit, none of them come unraveled like our favorite woven floss tended to do. And all of them will do a fine job removing plaque. Once I get over the mourning period, I will probably like Dr. Tung’s just as much. RIP Read more
Love this product. As someone who is allergic to mint. Finding any toothpaste, floss, mouth wash can be a challenge. Even when they say mint free, they aren't. This is such a welcomed relief. I will definitely be ordering again. Read more
Expandable floss is a game changer-I wish I had known about this stuff years ago! I hate flossing, but I know it is important. Apparently my teeth are not all evenly spaced, so sometimes regular floss fits, and sometimes it doesn’t. This expandable floss fits between all of my teeth, and fills the gaps that regular floss wouldn’t - so every time I use it, I can see good results. I wouldn’t say I look forward to flossing, but it is much more satisfying now. Read more
What can I say? I LOVE this dental floss! I am a fanatic when it comes to my dental care, and I floss religiously twice a day after brushing. My dental routine wouldn't be complete without this very important step. I'm always surprised how much food debris is still between my teeth, even after a thorough brushing with my electric toothbrush! I have tried a bunch of different flosses over the years, but I have finally settled on Xlent floss as my all-time favorite! I only use THIS dental floss exclusively now, and have for about 3 years. I don't know what I'll do if they ever stop making it! What I love about it: 1. It's just the right thickness (not too overly thick, but not at all thin) 2. The black color from the charcoal makes it easy to see the gunk that comes out 3. It has a light minty flavor, but not artificial tasting, not too strong 4. The texture is just right (not slippery and useless like other floss, but not so "grippy" that it's hard to pull out) 5. It never gets stuck between my teeth, and it never shreds! I know floss is a very personal item, and not everyone has the same needs and wants when it comes to dental care. But for me, this floss is the best for my needs, and I absolutely love it! Read more
