Love these because they are flexible unlike other ones I have used. They work great for cleaning between your teeth and they actually remove plaque.

Have used this soft pick for several years. My dentist recommended it. It works much better for me than any floss ever did ( doesn’t shred, doesn’t get caught on crowns), plus easy to hold. As to very tight spaces, Gum also has a a line of interdental brushes in various sizes. As to bending, adjusting my angle of entry reduced this problem a lot, and a lighter touch.
Very dissapointed

This is not an alternative for floss!!!! It’s too thick to fit between teeth. If you have a gap or spaces between your teeth then this ideal for your. 2 stars for the minty flavor.

I get these for my teen son who has braces. He would have trouble flossing with regular floss, and he says that these are a lot easier to use. His orthodontist has even noticed a difference.
Great for permanent retainers

These helped my gums SO much. My dentist recommended these since my gums are super sensitive and I have gingivitis. They’ve made a world of a difference with decreasing plaque buildup up and keeping my teeth clean in between dental cleanings!
Great Product!

My orthodontist recommended these for me while I had braces and I have continued to use them throughout the years! I find it much easier than flossing and it isn’t as harsh on my gums.

Dentist recommended these to help with Gingivitis. I am happy with the results. I believe my gums are less sensitive because of consistent use with these picks. They are also not painful to use which is nice compared to other plastic picks that are harder on the gums.
Great Product

We have been using the Soft Picks for years. Usually we get them at our local stores, but since COVID it is especially nice to get them online from the company. Easy to order and easy delivery right on time. Thanks again!

My dentist recommended these to me. I have serious teeth issues and floss twice a day or more but he asked me to add these. They are very comfortable and strong enough to get between teeth. Unlike plastic they do not work away at enamel. They work great.

Great product. If you are not a fan of flossing, this product is great to remove food particles from between your teeth.
