dlstewart's Full Review: Plackers Dental Flossers 10 flossers
I am currently a bit mobility challenged. I badly burned one of my hands. Let's just say it was a big ouch! Since I take good care of my teeth, I didn't want them to suffer from my lack of two-handed flossing. Plackers Dental Flossers saved the day (and a scolding from my dentist).
Description
Each flosser is about 3 1/2" long. It looks like a short stick with a point at one end (the gum stimulator), and a U-shape at the other end. Suspended between the posts of the "U" is a 3/4" long piece of white dental floss. This floss is designed to withstand stretching, shredding, and breaking.
My Experiences
These are an excellent option to traditional dental floss. I have very tight teeth, which usually shred any regular dental floss. I can hold this flosser in one hand and floss between all my teeth without issue. The flexible plastic head also bends slightly to help reach those back teeth.
This floss is strong. It may fray a tiny bit toward the end of my flossing regime, but the floss strand has never broken. True to its claims, this floss does not stretch, shred or break. Once I'm done with the flosser, into the trash it goes.
At the end of the flosser is a pointed piece of plastic that serves as a gum stimulator. It is designed to massage gums. I never use this portion of the flosser. Instead, I lightly move my toothbrush over my gums and the inside of my mouth. Works great for me.
As for my accident, it was not pleasant. We had a gathering of people at the house. I was distracted, cooking at the stove, and rested my hand flat-out on a hot burner. The burns are healing nicely (thank goodness!). However, it has left me challenged with anything that requires the use of two hands.
Plackers Dental Flossers are a necessary convenience. I floss every day and take good care of my teeth. So it's important to me to be able to keep up my regular dental routine.
Purchasing
Shop around for value. These flossers come in different package quantities and vary in price from about $1.00 - $3.00.
Summary
I am very pleased with these Plackers Dental Flossers. They are doing an excellent job at keeping my teeth cleaned. Will they replace my regular dental floss? No. However, I am very happy to be using them now! My teeth are feeling great.
