Faster the better I say! I have now been flossing fairly regularly with the small floss picks in the car or in bed while reading…gotta multi-task lol!

I have only used a water pick for a short time. Most of my life I’ve used floss that I hold in my hands. Water picks are supposed to gently wash food particles from between the teeth an from under the edges of the gums around your teeth.
What I didn’t find the water pick did was scrape off the scummy stuff that sticks to my teeth. It seems to need higher pressure or physical contact.
So I didn’t really like the water pick.
A while ago I hurt a finger and couldn’t handle the floss. So I bought some of those flosser sticks that are kind of y shaped with floss running from one to the other. The other end is usually pointy and can be used to help with things stuck between the teeth.
I didn’t expect to like them nearly as much as I do. I just found ones with dental tape instead of floss. I have some very close teeth and would often break floss. I don’t break the dental tape. Very happy with them.

Floss removes more plaque but if you find flossing difficult the water pik is a good choice. Have you tried floss harps or tpee brushes as a better alternative?

Like I said I forget to floss alot so does any one else put flossing in their morning routine? (also I’m new at this app so please let me know if I’am using it incorrectly.) I have to ask because I got a sarcastic shithead asking me if I carry floss around in my bag-that kind of crap please keep to yourself.
