 And the plastic keeps on coming June 15, 2004

When I ordered this item, I assumed that the flosser attachment would be some sort of gadget to which you would add new dental floss at each use. Actually, each flosser is a plastic prong with pre-strung floss in it, to be used once and discarded. Let me see: a million conscientious users floss daily and you have 365,000,000 plastic doodads added to the world's landfills every year. I already compromise my principles for convenience more than I'd like to admit. This is totally over the top. When I've used up my supply of flossers, out this thing goes. It goes into the landfill, to be sure. So don't anyone else make my mistake.

This little thing works great. I understand what the other reviewer is saying about the plastic in the landfill but I have to admit this thing works great. I have always had a problem flossing every day with regular floss but since I bought this Hummingbird I floss every day. I have a sonic toothbrush as well and the combination of both really cleans my teeth and gums. I hope the previous reviewer will forgive me but I am hooked on this little machine. The only problem I see right now is the price of floss picks. They range from $3.50 to $3.99 for a 15 day supply. This can get pretty pricey after awhile. I watch for coupons and specials (Amazon). I agree with the previous reviewer that it would be nice if we had a machine like this with replaceable floss.
Fabulous! October 23, 2004

Anything that makes flossing easy is wonderful. I plan to keep my teeth into old age and beyond and this will help. It is especially good for me for those pesky back molars and wisdom teeth. No more fumbling around and wondering if I did a good enough job. Considering that there is a correlation between gum disease and heart disease, I'll keep on flossing in whichever way makes it easy and is effective. Want to save the earth? Have one less kid. That should cancel out about 100,000,000,000,000 people's flossing discards.

This is the most convienent item for reaching all my teeth and not have the floss fall apart. Pricey but worth it for a healthy mouth. And after I'm done, I snip out the floss and throw the plastic part in the recycle bin. Hey! There's a thought!

Last year I was diagnosed with peridontal disease. After the first root scaling, flossing became a very important part of preventing that from ever happening again. My hands do not fit in my mouth to easily floss all of the teeth without trying to stuff both hands in my mouth. These flossers are wonderful and work very well at dislodging food between the teeth. My hygenist commented on the rapid improvement I have had. As for throwing them away after each flossing, it isn't necessary. I rinse the head after use in hot water, and dip it into Listerine to sterilize it for the next use. I wait until the flost starts to self destruct before replacing. I do not replace my toothbrush after every single use, so I don't see a problem with this. A little common sense goes a long way.
