42 Issue #8, December 2017 The Top Rated Dental Floss Picks Don’t want to mess with wrapping floss around your fingers? Well, then picks may be the way to go. And, of all the dental floss picks on the market, the Oral B Glide Floss Picks are the most highly rated. In fact, you really can’t find anyone who has anything bad to say about them (which is unusual for any type of product!). Reviews from users, including a dental hygienist who buys this product for her family, sing the praises about these picks. They’re strong. They don’t shred or break. They don’t get stuck in your teeth. And they’re easy to use so you can floss one handed while watching TV, using the computer or reading a book. Some people also really like the shape of these picks which makes it super easy to reach all areas of your mouth. This is another one that is hard to find in stores so you may have better luck (and get better pricing) when buying them online. Oral B Glide The Dental Floss to Avoid Allstar Innovations Power Floss With just a 2.1 star rating out of 5 on Amazon, there’s one dental floss option that it seems you’re better off avoiding. It’s the Allstar Innovations Power Floss (As Seen on TV). It’s an “air powered dental water jet” that’s supposed to blast the particles out from between your teeth. Sounds like a cool idea but, according to many reviewers, it doesn’t seem to work well. People call it “junk”, say it’s “ineffective” and that you’re better off saving your money. Maybe the product will be improved over time but, for now at least, it seems like one to avoid.
