"we've found floss picks make life easier for younger kids struggling with regular floss."
Floss picks are definitely a lifesaver for kids, especially when braces are involved... though I usually suggest the soft interdental brushes for braces too. Has your son tried those yet? Curious how he'd compare them to floss picks comfort-wise.
Floss picks saved my sanity when my grandkids stayed over last summer. Regular floss was like wrestling spaghetti with those two—more ended up on the floor than between their teeth. Tried those little interdental brushes too, but the youngest said it felt like brushing with a caterpillar... so floss picks won out in our house. Whatever keeps the peace and prevents cavities, right?
I've been curious about floss picks myself, but do they really clean as thoroughly as regular floss? My dentist always stresses getting under the gumline...do you find picks handle that well enough?
I've tried picks a few times, and honestly...they're convenient but kinda meh for getting under the gums. My dentist gave me the side-eye last visit, so I'm back to regular floss—awkward fingers and all. Picks are great for on-the-go though.
Totally feel you on the picks...I tried them too, thinking they'd be easier, but my dentist wasn't thrilled either. Regular floss feels awkward at first, but honestly, it gets easier with practice. Hang in there—you're doing great!
