The medical grade of Gummy floss is far smoother and softer than regular dental floss and my adult patients find their flexibility convenient for intra-oral manipulation. They don’t get jammed between the teeth like regular floss, which then strips off strands that are the devil to remove. Gummyfloss elements are easy to use and, with their small flexible ring at each end, don’t slip through your fingers. I have started using them with younger patients in their run up to orthodontic treatment, to improve their overall caries and for the elimination of incipient marginal gingivitis. The kids have taken to them very well.
