I don't know if this could become handy...

I bought this item today. It was on sale at 14.97 C$. I guess

that with a price this low, it's probably discontinued. But still, it sounds

like a good idea, especially knowing I'm going to wired for two weeks, it could

be a good tool to use to remove plaque between my teeth.

Has anyone else used this appliance?

I actually just finished using mine tonight. I like it, but I don't

use it exclusively. You'll want to pick up a lot of the removeable

floss tops. It's a handy appliance for those days you're tired of

trying to poke Superfloss through the gaps.

Thanks !

In other words, it's not a discontinued product, as I assume you can still

find the parts for it? I wen't on Oral-B's website, but I couldn't locate it.

Thus, I concluded it was discountinued. And at the store, this afternoon

(Zeller's) there were no extra tops.

Hi Lynne,

It's probably on an individual basis, but to me, it's quite important. I can't

be more than two months without visiting my dentist to have the stuff (calculus

I think the word is in English) being removed. Otherwise, it becomes painful

during the cleaning and it takes forever to completely remove it. Others will

have different experience, most probably.

However, since it will be impossible to wash the inside of my teeth, then I've

figured

this would help a lot! I also got a Waterpik machine, as instructed by the

surgeon. She said it's a great helper for the first weeks.

Sounds like they are no longer being produced. I bought mine a

number of years ago, and also purchased the tops a bit after that. I

probably paid about CAD $30 for the unit, at a discount at the time,

I think.

If your teeth are tightly packed together, or you aren't careful

with how you handle the unit, the tops break (the plastic fibres

inside, I mean), so you'll want to have more of them on hand.
