A handy gadget

[kelm10]

Due to the numbness in my hands I am unable to floss my teeth as usual. Thanks to a wonderful friend who is a dental hygienist I found a wonderful gadget.

It is a electric flosser and whitener. I use it for the flossing, but if it whitens my teeth some too, great. It is a hand held item that you push a button and a plastic probe like tip that you exchange every flossing, flosses your teeth. I am even able to floss under my permanent bridges.

It was available in the toothbrush and toothpaste aisle at the local Target. I love it.

Just what I need! We don't have Targets in Canada, but I will look out for in other stores. Does it have a brand name Mary?

That sounds like a good thing; I'll look for it.

How does it whiten your teeth though???

In Canada, you can get a battery operated gadget to floss your teeth. It's called a Hummingbird, I think. Doesn't whiten teeth, though. I think I got mine at Superstore. The nylon 'string' is a bit thick for close together teeth. It's not as good as regular flossing but sure beats no flossing.

The brand name that I bought was water pick and yes the floss is a little thick but once again better then not flossing. I only bought the whitening because that was all that was available at the time.
