We have the Phillips air flosser, it's good but doesn't replace flossing. Expensive gadget but great if you have braces.

I don't really have sensitive teeth but found the jet of cold water almost unbearable! Stopped using it and went back to Oral B satin floss. You could always put warm water in it I suppose.

I use it with warmish water and find it good.It takes a bit of time to get used to as at the beginning there was more water on my face than in my mouth !!!

I have lots of crowns and veneers so flossing doesn't really work for me - I like the brushes but am always nervous of "dislodging" a fake tooth!

I have the oral B flosser and have been using it for 6 months now. Recently went to the dentist for a checkup and for the first time I can remember didn't get admonished for insufficient cleaning and poor gum condition, so I am happy.

Am thinking wrapping myself in a big towel when I first use one, Seoda24 !!!

I have the Philips airflosser, I brought it when I had a fixed brace fitted, just had that removed and now I think I love it even more. It blasts my teeth clean Grin

It's pretty good but not a substitute for interdental cleaning with either floss or tepee ( or similar type of brush )

Watching with interest . My DS had a fixed brace fitted yesterday he's in a world of pain Sad. we've got him a load of interdental brushes, but I've seen these and wondered how good they are
