Reach Easy Slide Ultraglis Floss, Mint 40 yards
3 Comments until now.
I found Reach EASY Slide dental floss to be just that, EASY. The floss did not shred or snag. It easily slid through places where I normally have to use a threader. My mother, after hearing about Reach Easy Slide dental floss, begged for and took the remainder of the package … good old Mom!

My dentist wants me to floss at least once a day. Shucks, now that I’ve got REACH DENTAL FLOSS, EASY SLIDE, WAXED, MINT in my outhouse medicine cabinet, I’ll show him! I’ll do it twice a day whether he wants me to or not! Dang, he must take me for a real rube.
EASY SLIDE is the easiest to use floss I’ve ever found. Certainly better than nylon fishing line – even with the hook and worm still attached. It slides effortlessly between the gaps of my thirteen remaining teeth without snagging and pulling them out. (They’ve loosened after years of living too close to the nuclear power station.) The floss is mighty tasty, too, though I wish it came in a Moon Pie flavor. And it rarely shreds. Why, I suspect I could use the stuff to sew up my good t-shirt after it’s been ripped off my body by my gal. And it certainly comes in handy when suturing up those nasty gashes acquired in knife fights down at the local gentlemen’s club where she dances.
Flossing used to be a tedious monthly chore. Now, with EASY SLIDE, it’s more fun than doing the Christmas shopping down at the truck stop.

As any dental health professional will attest to, flossing one’s teeth is just as important as brushing, and perhaps more so, for the bacteria that causes gum disease (and to a certain extent cavities) almost always starts between the teeth. Daily flossing breaks up the film of harmful bacteria and allows it to be removed. Therefore, as a dentist, I am always stressing the importance of daily flosing to my patients. My advice is this:
1. Choose a floss that is comfortable to you and is the right thickness for your teeth. Some people prefer floss holders rather than wrapping the floss around the fingers, while others prefer thin flavored floss to waxed thick floss. There are so many options – choose the right one for you.
2. Waxed floss is “waxed” to allow easier passage between the teeth. Waxed floss is no more effective than unwaxed at removing the bacterial film build-up. The important thing is to floss!
3. Floss once daily, preferably before brushing. Flossing breaks up the film of bacteria between the teeth in areas a toothbrush cannot reach. It is important to then brush the teeth and rinse between the teeth to remove the film of bacteria that the flossing has dislodged. Without brushing or rinsing after flossing, the bacteria can reattach to the teeth.
4. Try to tie in flossing with another habit, such as watching the 10 PM news. I know it sounds strange, but incorporating flossing into another habit leads one into developing a new habit. Some complain that they don’t have time to floss; well, if flossing is tied into another habit, such as watching TV, both can easily be done concurrently.
5. There are many gimmicks the manufacturers use to sell their particular brand of floss. Some flavor the floss, some incorporate fluoride into the strands of floss, and some make their floss more slippery for folks with tight contacts. Whatever the case, the most important point is to choose a floss variety you will use regularly. It is the mechanical act of removing the bacterial flim that is the important part, not the flavoring or chemical additions to the floss.
6. If you want to keep your teeth for a life-time, develop the flossing habit. As one wise sage said: “If you ignore your teeth, they will eventually go away”.
I recommend this product.
