GUM Expanding dental floss is designed and manufactured to help you remove plaque from the hard-to-reach areas between teeth which have larger gaps, while also cleaning effectively in more regular spaces between the teeth. In use, the floss expands forming a larger diameter string that contacts more surface area around the gaps. Large gaps often occur due to gum recession and papilla loss, both consequences of periodontitis. GUM Expanding dental floss is lightly lubricated with wax for easy handling and insertion between the teeth, and expands during use to clean the tooth surfaces adjacent to the wider gaps more effectively. The floss has a texturized nylon construction that is more gentle on the gums due to its wider diameter than regular fine floss. This is a specialized product to help make between-teeth cleaning easier and more effective for people with irregular or large gaps between their teeth or those who find fine floss too narrow.

GUM Expanding Floss Love It Use It Take it With You At all Times
Hi, it seems one can only find these online? Well for me that is. Recommended by the dental hygienist, I need this expanding floss at this time in my life's journey! :) The first one said use this, the second one said and I am quoting here, hey just double a regular strand and there you go. Well I have tried both, I like this. Works great, got the multiple in bag purchase, and will last a long time. Take one with you, pocket or handbag works here.I hope you found this review helpful. I read the reviews and I diligently visit the dentist and usually go with what they tell me to do at this point. Did you know the older you get the wider your teeth seem to get, maybe so you can save some for later ha ha. So always take care of your head and feet! ") Take this from an older lady that knows. ')Read the reviews like I did, make your own decision, good luck! They work. Thank you for reading. thank you, Kat =^.^=

Much thinner than expected...
I was hoping to replace the Listerine Gum Care woven yarn-like floss that's been discontinued. This G.U.M. Expanding Floss just isn't the same. You have to rub it a while between the teeth for the floss to finally expand, but the expansion is so soft and delicate that it doesn't really grab anything. And as soon as you pull it against your gums or teeth it contracts and becomes thin, much like standard floss, thus defeating the purpose. Also, I thought I read somewhere in the description where it doesn't fray, but it definitely can, especially when you have to work it a while to get it to expand. I tried working it between my wet fingers, but I couldn't get it to expand well.

Not a good value
These are fine for keeping in your purse but for everyday use they run out in a week with normal usage. Not enough product for the price.

Great for spacing in your teeth
These were recommended by my dentist because I have spacing issues between my teeth. This floss works great

Good but...
Good, but the floss unravels a lot where you use it, making it oddly bulbous...

Perfect size
Perfect size to keep in your purse or even a pocket I'd you are like me and can't stand stuff caught in your teeth. About the diameter of a quarter.

Expanding floss' multiple strands does wonders
My dentist is always amazed at how clean I can keep the surfaces between my teeth. He has started to recommend thus expanding floss to his other patients.

I am pleased with the product
This is a floss that I could only get at my dentist office. It's not sold in the store. I am pleased with the product.
