I think this is great for people who hate flossing, but prefer toothpicks. This is gentler than a toothpick on the gums, and I fee like it gets more food out than toothpicks because there are bristles. They are somewhat durable so you can use them more than once. I find the design smart, but kind of annoying, because you can bend the ends trying to snap them apart.

It helps maintain the gums by removing plaque. However, I prefer floss more.

Love these. I do not have crowding of my teeth, so these work really well instead of flossing...so much easier, I can even clean between my teeth while driving! I can understand why people would hate them if they have tight spaces between their teeth...sorry fellas, you'll just have to continue flossing...do whatever works as long as you clean between your teeth EVERY DAY!!!

I hate these things! They don't fit between my teeth. Instead they just bend around. Floss does the best job for getting between the teeth.

These may be great for those with braces, but if u don't have braces, I would just use floss. These are huge and if you put them between your teeth, you might actually find that a space will for between teeth and you'll start to lose your gums. So why bother? Stay with floss!

I love these! They're really effective. My teeth are not crowded, but after having braces for years, I now have metal retainer wires permanently affixed to the inside of my teeth. This makes flossing very difficult. These definitely help to get all of the spots that I can't quite get with regular floss. They are very gentle, and I just love how my mouth feels after using them! I definitely reccomend them to anyone who has a hard time using regular floss.

Healthy gums. Healthy life. GUM Soft Picks have Soft comfortable bristles that massage the gums to promote blood circulation, and healthy, firm gum tissue. Clinically proven plaque removal , are easy to use and mine came with a storage case for easy storage. This is a great product I have used and trusted for years. I love how fresh my mouth feels after using them, and I know my mouth is healthier because of it. Love this product.

I have some hard to reach places at the back molars and these picks are great at helping me clean my teeth. They are great for sensitive gums with no sharp edges. My hygienist recommended them to me and I am glad she did.

I wish I knew about this product when I had braces. Now that I have a permanent retainer on the back of my top and bottom teeth; this makes flossing less of a hassle. I like the they come in a small compact carrying case that I can bring anywhere. The rubber brush as soft yet effective.

Thumbs up! I was told about these by my dental assistant when I (again!) complained that I hated using floss on my extremely tight teeth. She said she used these and said that I'd probably have a better time with them. I love them - they are slim mini brushes which slip between the bases of your teeth to clean out plaque, food particles and any other gunk. They are firm but gentle too. I use these and then rinse with a dental rinse for a super-clean feeling.

If you are a frugalista, you could use each one 2x by rinsing it in alcohol-based mouth wash after the first use. My teeth are too tight (and I end up bending mine in the first go) to do this.
