Daily flossing is the hardest part of oral hygiene for most patients. However, it is critically important in establishing and maintaining oral health. There is a product on the market that can make this task easier.

The Reach Access Daily Flosser is essentially a device for holding a pre-measured length of dental floss. The handle resembles a typical toothbrush handle. The end of the handle has a clip that holds a disposable piece of dental floss strung between two plastic arms. This product allows easier access to the tight areas between the teeth without having to stick your fingers far back into your mouth. The handle permits better control of the floss while cleaning between your teeth. When you are finished, you simply change the floss insert at the end of the handle. All dentists are in favor of any device or technique that makes it easier for patients to clean between their teeth, My patients have told me that they like using the Reach Access Flosser. This product is available at all pharmacies and supermarkets and is reasonably priced, If you are not a regular flosser, give this product a try.
