Oral B Essential Waxed Dental Floss Review

Oral B Essential Waxed Dental Floss Review

This is a review of mint flavored Oral B Essential Waxed Dental Floss. Oral B Essential Floss is mint flavored and comes in this cute, handy, hygienic and travel friendly round container.

You flip open the cap and pull out the desired length of the flossing thread. Bring the thread under the metallic clip and snap in the opposite direction to cut. The remaining thread end sits secure under the metal clip so you can pull it again for the next use. The closed packing keeps the floss hygienic.

Price: INR 85

Length: 50 meters

Flavor: Mint

Type: Waxed, multifilament floss
Made in Ireland
Availability: Available offline in local pharmacies/ chemist shops. For some reason, it is currently out of stock on every online portal.

The pack contains 50 metres of wax coated flat thread. The thin flat shape of this floss and the wax help in sliding the floss easily into the tight space between the teeth, while the mint flavor leaves your mouth and gums feeling very refreshed. A floss easily reaches under the gumline, where your toothbrush cannot reach. So while brushing twice a day is great, if you develop a habit of flossing your teeth daily or 3-4 times a week, you can keep many serious tooth and gum diseases at bay.

Oral B essential waxed floss is a multifilament floss, meaning, the floss thread is made up of many thin strands/filaments of nylon loosely weaved together. When you look at it, you can see only one shiny white thread, but when you use it, you can feel the multiple strands as they flatten and loosen up while cleaning in between very tight teeth without any friction.

In spite of being a multifilament floss, the flossing thread never tore, shredded or stuck in between my teeth. It is very gentle and never cut the skin on my gums. It makes my life easy. Even when I feel my mouth is totally clean after brushing, this floss always surprises me when it pulls out very minute food particles out of my nicely brushed teeth.

My front teeth are loose while the teeth on the sides are very tightly packed. Toothpick and toothbrush cannot clean the food particles stuck there. Oral B essential floss easily cleans in between those very tight teeth. 

Initially, the mint flavor felt very strong and used to feel like a sting when the floss would touch my gumline. But within a few uses, I could actually appreciate the nice minty flavor and fresh feeling that spreads in my mouth after flossing with Oral b essential flavored floss.

The packing is very cute, lightweight and travel friendly, and the shape is ideal to hold without slipping out of the hand. I always carry it around in my purse. 

Oral B essential floss is great value for money and can save you expensive dentist visits. It is also very good for people who eat a lot of non-veg, which gets stuck in their teeth. Poking toothpick in between your teeth not only increases the gap between your teeth, but also looks very bad to look at. While carrying this little tool with you when dining out, you can easily slip to the washroom after the meal and return with a fresh clean smiling set of teeth in a couple of minutes.
