abunda_amazon_reviews The handles are too short to apply them from the inner side of your back teeth towards the cheek. That is where most food gets trapped and not removed by brushing. The picks tend to bend easily when you try to orient them 90 degrees to your back teeth and fail to hit the space between the teeth accurately. Once the pick bends, it's useless. There just isn't enough room for your fingers to hold the pick at the proper angle on the inner side of your back teeth. I solved the problem by using a mosquito hemostat (a small locking surgical device a bit like a cross between needle nose pliers and scissors) to hold the pick handle at the proper angle. Then I can maneuver the pick easily inside my mouth. The pick itself I'd give five stars to, but the handle lacks a proper design which should be longer and perhaps offset.;;Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2018;;2.0 out of 5 stars;;Pick is effective, but useless if it gets bent;;mc;;/gp/customer-reviews/R14MTHJ70S7IG5/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079K5JTMZ;;;I have tight tolerances between my teeth and floss tends to break. I have used a plastic pick in the past with good luck and that is what I expected these to be. But they have no strength to them and once they bend, they are useless. Which means you have to line them up perfectly and push very slowly. Then if the gap isn't too tight, they work.;;Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018;;3.0 out of 5 stars;;Not Exactly What I Thought They Were;;R. Bender;;/gp/customer-reviews/R23ZDN91MEMLRG/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079K5JTMZ;;;I love these dental picks. This is my new dental floss! Flossing is still good, but I just love the massage action these picks offer, all the while getting residual food loosened from between the teeth. Flossing can sometimes give you that unwanted surprise SMACK against your gums on teeth that are positioned more tightly together once the floss presses through. With these dental picks, you just push through and dislodge any food that is tucked away. Your mouth may actually look better and you may even "feel" better because there is less pressure between your teeth. And you wondered why you were having those slight headaches. You had junk gunked between your teeth. Well, set your mind free. It's sometimes the little things that can help. Try these dental picks. P.S. - Your gums may bleed a little bit with the first couple uses, but with consistent use and with brushing, that will go away. If you can't get through every tooth, don't be frustrated, just move on to the next tooth. No food is getting in between there anyway if it's too tight...Duhhhh! lol;;Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;My New Dental Floss;;G.

I now go to my dentist for a cleaning every 4-6 months compared to every 3 and had no special issues needing my oral surgeon for y3 years...These have worked better than floss for me and with brushing with a vibrating electric brush and use of these pics 2X/day, my oral health has improved to a maintenance condition.;;Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Eliminated my gum issues;;OceanAveBoy;;/gp/customer-reviews/RXNDPJ5Z6A5L7/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079K5JTMZ;;;My dentist gave me a free sample of GUM Proxabrush Go-Betweens Cleaners, and I hated them. The brush has a metal wire at its core, and my teeth are close together, so I could feel and hear the wire scraping, and it was an awful feeling. So I decided to try the soft picks instead, and I love them. They actually get between teeth that I couldn't get into with the Go-Betweens Cleaners. And the core is plastic, so there's no horrible scraping feeling. And even though my teeth are close together, I find the soft picks are plenty stiff enough to get between the teeth without bending. I thought I was doing a good job of flossing, but these get food particles that flossing left behind. And I love the little case that comes with them, it makes it really convenient to throw in my purse, so I'm never without.;;Reviewed in the United States on March 29, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Comfortable to use;;janina3;;/gp/customer-reviews/R1LNCTXKWIL8U2/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079K5JTMZ;;;I've been using these for years and recently decided to buy from Amazon instead of my grocery store. I have been irritated in the past because they were pretty flimsy and one didn't last for using on all of my teeth after a meal. Since getting these improved sturdiness picks I really noticed a difference and couldn't be more pleased. They really do the job now when I don't want the awkwardness of flossing.;;Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2019;;5.0 out of 5 stars;;Greatly improved!!;;Helena (Calif);;/gp/customer-reviews/RMF7YRUVEZYSX/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B079K5JTMZ;;;I like these little picks for flossing, however I do not like how quickly the tend to bend while using them.
