another thing which i must get. This might shock you, but i've seen the price of some toothbrushes and £90, even though it is a fair bit of money doesn't sound too bad. off to the buyapowa monkey to see if they want to offer this for sale xx
I need this in my life. I recently had gum disease. I don't know how long I had it, smoking masks gum disease and it only became apparent when I stopped smoking. Its gone now but am flossing twice a day religiously and similarly to you am now obsessed. Only problem is my teeth are so close together I find flossing a very unpleasant sensation... this could be the answer!
Hi Lisa.. my teeth are quite sensitive too (ironically caused by using whitening toothpaste, apparently) and it is fine for mine. i wouldn't like to try it with icy cold water, but then again, since you keep it in the bathroom, hot tap water probably isn't the best idea. I guess if i were you I'd try it with luke warm water (from the kettle). x
I keep looking at these in the shops because I invariably forget to floss. Doesn't help that my teeth seem to eat floss and once in I practically have to rip it to get it out again...
Do you think it can be as effective as normal flossing? Or will there still be places it just can't reach? I'd love to know what you think! Thank you x
Hi Fleur.. I don't see why it shouldn't be as effective as flossing.. I always forget to floss so my thinking is that it has to be better than that! It's quite a strange sensation.. like a silent gunshot.. I feel like it is working, but I'm not a dentist.
Something I noticed soon after moving to the U.K. from Canada was how little attention flossing gets in the role of dental care. Canadian dentists are almost manic about it and for good reason. Flossing does for your gums, what brushing does for your teeth. Mouthwash does NOT qualify as flossing, despite what the ads imply. Your gums are like soil to a plant; they have to be healthy or your teeth have nothing to root in.
I have no problem using traditional dental floss, but if this device will get more people flossing, great. And perhaps I'm fortunate, but I have a great NHS dentist. I'm always surprised at how cheap dental care is in the U.K. when compared to Canada where it's entirely fee for service. It's not covered by the public health system like it is here in England.
I am currently obsessed with dental hygiene so this is right up my street! Thank you so much for bringing this product to my attention, sounds like it would make flossing a less laborious task lol

Hi - new follower- love your blog!
I too am obsessed with my teeth which are very sensitive!
Would I find using this painful? Can you fill it with warm water?
Thank you

This AirFloss is amazing, I love it and I have the Diamond Brush too - awesome!!! There is nothing better on the market for our teeth. :)
So, let´s keep smiling, heehee.
Hugs, Tina

And that reminds me, I'm over due for a check up!

Haha, this is true! Anything has to be better than not flossing at all.
