No, I left "grip" on purpose, I found that it conjured up some extra disturbing images...but maybe just to my fevered little mind... Very Happy

In the event that ever happens again, take a new piece of floss, rub some oliveoil over it and use it to dislodge anything between your fillings.

This weakens the floss enough to where it wont get stuck because it is still 'dry' and the lubrication keeps your fillings safe.



Thankee! It was terrifying.

Ah, I finally found the thread where this all happened to dlowan! I was mightily stunned by the transexuaspeciated avatar, but this here explains it all...



Huh? Been on the special mushrooms again?

I don't usually have problems....it is this weird new filling, but I shall keep it in mind.

"Crest Glide", hamburger?

Wait, let me have a look what kind of product you are promoting here....

Quote:
Experience the Glide Difference. Satisfaction guaranteed, or your money back.

* Twice as wide and 50% thicker than original Glide
* Silky smooth texture slides easily between teeth
* Gently stimulates gums
* Contains a light coating of natural wax for improved grip


Shocked



DENTAL FLOSS thread turns to sex? Oh my.

Whoo! Embarrassed Sounds like something Flossy might like.



Really? Whoever this Flossy is she sounds interesting.

I, as it happens, know no Flossy.....she said icily.

You never know when you might need to repair a filling (didn't I post about that here?)

from the kit info

Quote:
* Temparin Toothache Medication is made from the Oil of Cloves, a natural astrigent pain relief remedy. Cloves have a rich history dating back to the West Han Dynasty in China, when the emperor required visitors to chew cloves to freshen their breath.



It's a good little kit.

My dentist was quite impressed by the repair work I did with the kit I bought when I knocked a filling out. After he did x-rays to make sure I hadn't left any air pockets, he just did a little cosmetic fix-up of the surface - turns out the filling goop is the same product dentists use.

Hmmmmm...I bet the dentist's union (they'd call it a Royal College of Something or other) stops such a product being sold here.

I've had probably four teeth that already had crowns that acted funny that I can attribute to dental floss agitation...

One was really bothersome and it was redone at great expense. One bothered me for about five years and stopped, and two bothered me for about two years and stopped.

I noticed that this stuff started up - or flared - when I'd just had a teeth cleaning....

I like the Glide products, except you personally have to maintain a good grip on that waxy stuff... but that's what I use now.


Interesting about the rescue bit, re reflossing, and the olive oil addition.

I just read the first page, so I'm not sure if anybody else made this suggestion. Use another floss that doesn't break apart, and floss it out.
