Back in the old days, there wasn’t a lot of difference in dental floss. It was usually stringy, came undone with any hint of trouble including too-close-together teeth, braces, or left-over lunch caught perilously between two teeth. None of this made flossing once or even twice a day particularly appealing to me, even after my dentist insisted at each visit that I could use a little more flossing.

Glide dental floss changed this.

My hatred of flossing changed when I was introduced to Glide. And, no, I am not getting money from Crest for this- take it for what it is- a personal recommendation for a product that I really think is far superior to any other dental floss on the market today.

Glide slides gently between your teeth, without breaking into seventeen little strings that consequently get stuck in your mouth in exactly the wrong places.  The Crest/Glide website touts a patented fiber, but does not explain what exactly it is or why the texture of the dental floss is so much better for flossing, which is after all, the primary use for dental floss. It costs a little bit more than average dental floss, but is in my opinion, worth about a hundred times more because it does not shred as you floss.
