New Revolution in Flossing?

It's so easy to forget flossing your teeth at the end of the day. I've noticed that companies are finding ways of making flossing an easier experience for us - one which will give us less hassle, time and energy wise.

We all must have tried normal dental floss, which is just a coil of string you measure off vaguely and cut off - easy enough!

Then there came along a more friendly version...(see below)...


This is my favourite and most effective way. The handle makes it very easy to reach hard places. And it saves you time from measuring and cutting off the floss yourself. It definitely encourages me more...!
These are now widely available in drugstores, supermarkets and department stores.

After this type of floss...I found this (see below), and it intrigued me....
This is the Corsodyl Daily Interdental Brush.


The white part is made of rubber stem, making it flexible. Its little bristles ensure it'll get to the right places and clean properly. These are said to be as effective as flossing and help to protect delicate gums and enamel. It's also metal free and perfect for use around implants and crowns.

Directions (on packet):
Gently move the brush back and forth between teeth to remove plaque and clean below the gum line. The tapered stem is designed to fit a range of interdental spaces. However, do not force into very tight gaps.

My review:
This is good when you've eaten something light and foods which are not prone to getting stuck between your teeth.
However, if you're eating foods such as corn on the cob, these will be useless! Also, as the directions say, these cannot be forced into very tight gaps (unlike dental floss)...so it makes it less effective.
It's easy to use, flexible and gentle. However, it doesn't do the job as well as normal floss...so I think I'll stick with the floss on handle.

I haven't seen this in any stores as of yet! Order them online if you want them ;)

Give in to a little more care for your teeth...

(Apologies for the blurred picture >.<)

These are the new chewable tablets to send those plaque to where they belong! A great and yummy way of detecting plaque and in return...clean hygienic teeth =)

I got these as a sample. Will use it and update this review.

Okay, here's my update:

Used as instructed. Didn't see any blue or red stains on my teeth, so I guess I did a good job at brushing =P. However, I would highly recommend to use this at night only! I'm glad I tried this just before bedtime. It left my entire mouth red and blue....So you get the idea why I'd avoid this in the morning...

At the back of this box it has the following:

Often colourless, and constantly forming, plaque bacteria need to be removed thoroughly and regularly to prevent dental problems. Plaqsearch contains advanced disclosing agents, that allows quick identification of problem areas for plaque. The two-tone colouring system differentiates new and old plaque.

Instructions for use: Brush teeth and, where necessary clean interdentally. Thouroughly chew one tablet and then rinse mouth. Examine all areas. Residual red stain indicates newer plaque, and blue stain older plaque that has been missed by previous brushing.

Children under 12 years must be supervised by an adult.

Caution: Stains! Avoid contact with clothes and furnishings.

Available at all good drugstores.
