Stim-U-Dent Plaque Removers 3 Packs of 4x25 Picks/Pack (300 Picks) - Mint Flavor

The heck with flossing!

I detest the whole sloppy business of flossing. Began using Stimudent Plaque Removers (both the thicker originals and their thinner cousins) in lieu of flossing. Now I have them everywhere because I cannot stand to have food stuck in my teeth. I am addicted to these and use them after the ingestion of any food. I buy them in bulk. They have genuinely saved my teeth and gums as the unending praise of my astonished dentist attests. I do brush well twice a day, too, and with an electric brush and often for twice the timed brushing duration - but these sticks do the in-between plaque removal, get into the unseen spaces. You must use them exactly as directed - get them well moistened in your mouth before putting them between your teeth. Once in a hundred uses I've had one break off and a piece has lodged between teeth. Not being one to panic I've alway managed to remove the malingerer with fingers or tweezer or another toothpick! If you have perfect teeth with zero spaces you maybe forced to continue flossing if the thinner sticks don't work for you, but there are also some tiny little brushes out there that look fun...which flossing just isn't. Fun I mean

Safe and effective

I had used them for years until discontinued as the Johnson and Johnson product. When they reappeared on the market, I actually had them analyzed by my nephew who does research at a lab. I was concerned about the dyes and flavoring used by the Chinese manufacturer. The result was; "they are actually pretty clean". Dyes consist of carbon and hydrogen and there were no concerning levels of heavy metals

Better shaped than ordinary toothpicks. Just as good as interstitial brushes.

I have had problems using floss every day so I discovered these wooden picks several years ago. They're better than regular toothpicks because they're triangular and clean at the gumline better than round toothpicks do. They can break at the tip so it's better to use them gently. They are single use just like a toothpick. The mint flavor is fleeting but that hasn't bothered me. I also use interstitial brushes some days; I think these picks do just as good job and cost much less per piece

They work great, I just wish they wouldn't splinter so quickly

I keep these all over the house and in my purse. They work great, I just wish they wouldn't splinter so quickly. If using to clean out just a couple teeth you will have no problem. I just have to use it for all my bottom teeth and usually need 2 for that. I will purchase these again when I run out of them

Hate to floss love to pick

These are perfect for people who don't want to floss after every meal. My dentist gave me a sample pack and they work great. Removes plaque and food particles. Keep in your pocket, car, purse, saddle, boat, desk, sock, fanny pack, or anywhere you will definitely have easy access too!

Use these instead of plastic flossers and brush picks.

Great alternative to plastic! Save the animals and use these instead of plastic flossers and brush picks! Wildlife rescuers an beach clean-up crews have been finding the plastic toothpicks in dead birds, fish and other animals. These wood interdental cleaners soften up very nicely once you've sucked on them for a minute--just follow the directions and you'll see how well they work. My teeth are close together and these fit nicely between them, especially in those bothersome spots where food gets stuck. They're softer than toothpicks and unlike plastic or harder wood toothpicks, these soft wood cleaners never make my gums bleed. Give them a try

Changed my oral heath drastically!

My dentist put me on to these things and they have really changed my oral health. I used to always have gum issues, especially during dentist cleanings. Now, I use these picks about five days a week (I use this in the morning, and floss at night). It takes like fifteen seconds. Now my dentist always comments how great my gums are. No more bleeding gums

GOOD FOR MY TEETH

I've been using these for years and I know they have helped me keep the teeth I have left. My gums don't bleed the way they used to. Especially during dental cleanings. My dentist recommended them. However, the Stim-U-Dents that are made now do break easier then the ones I've bought before. (I compared them to some I bought back in 2008 and the ones I just bought here do break easier) But they are still worth buying. I'm just using more of them. Worth the extra money. Really cheap because I had some loose teeth and bleeding gums but since I started using these everyday,my teeth and gums are much improved

STIM-U-DENT ROCKS!!!

I found some of my dad's old stimudents (he died in 2006) so they were pretty old. Decided to try using them. WOW. Just WOW. I brush 2-3x a day and floss every night. I go for regular 6 month cleanings. I could not believe the plaque I scraped off my teeth with these, even though I take great care of my teeth! I quickly ordered from Amazon, and I am using them as I type. For the record, the new ones seem to be STURDIER than the older ones I had. So if anything, they've increased in quality. I hightly -HIGHLY- recommend these. Try scraping the back of your teeth with these like when you get a dental cleaning. You won't believe what comes out

If you use Stim-U-Dents regularly, this packet offers a good supply at a fair price.

This product gives you a total of 300 picks. So if you use one per night, that's about a ten-month supply. Nice to have that many on had and not have to re-order too often. I subtracted one star for sturdiness, but it's just the nature of a soft wood toothpick that the end is going to break off now and then. Just be sure to moisten it in your mouth before use, and use a straight in-and-out movement to avoid twisting and breaking it. My dentist recommends this, not so much as a replacement for floss, but as an additional tool for keeping your gums healthy
