Listerine Tooth Floss

Gentle Gum Care

This brand of Johnson and Johnson floss is by far my favorite floss. This is a very high quality tooth floss because of its structure. It is a thicker more fibrous floss that is much more gentle yet happens to be much more effective than most other floss brands and textures.

Because of its thicker form it gets more plaque out from between your teeth. The thick floss is less sharp and not as likely to cut sensitive gums.

Customer Reviews

The reviews on Amazon were all very pleasant. Everyone seemed to love the floss and claimed it was very good for sensitive gums. They also said the flavor was quite enjoyable. The price for this item is about $3.33 for 50 yards. This is quite a good deal. There was only one bad review about this floss and it was that it only comes in a cinnamon mint flavor. This is really mostly a personal preference issue. If you do not have a problem with cinnamon then this floss is a good choice for you.

My Personal Review

I really enjoyed using this floss compared to traditional stringy floss. I felt like it worked much better than traditional floss. Other floss brands make very thin floss and plastic flossers that I am not a fan of. They cut your gums and the flossers are not flexible enough to really get in tough to reach spaces. I have a little extra space between my top teeth so listerine’s thicker floss is really good for that. The flavor is refreshing and the floss does not break easily because of its fibrous structure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

• Great for sensitive gums because it is soft
• This floss has a great flavor and is durable
• More flexible than commonly used flossers

Cons

• It only comes in cinnamon mint so the flavor is limited
• The other con is that it is hard to push between tight teeth because of its thick form.

Recommendations

I highly recommend this floss for adults and children. It is a great flavor and is very durable. My dentist recommends this floss because it is very hard to cut your gums with and it goes between the tooth and the gum to remove bacteria. because of its fibrous structure it is able to brush the bacteria out from your gums much easier than a traditional floss. If you look closely it is not shiny or smooth and this feature aids in collecting the plaque and bacteria from between your pearly whites.
