Style:Carbon Fiber Gum Chucks handles are made from high-quality, BPA-free, food-safe materials. As a brand, we realize we need to speak to both our clients adults and children. We wanted to create a way to engage with kids and make them want to use the product. Not only did we make our product fun and easy to use, but we also created characters such as Plaque Man, The Philosopher, and Count Paula to help encourage kids to floss. The utility of Gum Chucks is like no other on the market. Resembling miniature nun chucks, this unique two-handle system increases dexterity and control, allowing you to easily and effortlessly make the dentist-recommended &liquor; C-Shape while flossing. The &liquor; C-Shape is an important key to effective flossing as it allows you to wrap the floss around the tooth and get closer to the gum line to break up the bacteria and remove plaque.

Not for me
The heads are disposable, so you need a new one each time. Bad for the environment and my wallet. I had trouble using it with my arthritis too 😠

Design of floss head ineffective
We saw our dentist using the gum chucks for our toddler son and bought this online. I thought we can refill the head with regular dental floss in some way. However you have to buy their replacement heads which is really expensive. The design is stupid to me. When using it, it feels not easier than dental floss picks to me. A waste of money. I still give it three stars for that my son likes to hold it in his hand and floss the because he saw the dentist did that.

Now I actually don't mind flossing!
I love using GumChucks. I admit it, I HATED to floss so I never did. Then I would be good for about a 2 week streak after visiting the dentist before I'd fall off to not doing it at all again. A co-worker showed these to me where he got a starter kit from the dentist. I looked into it and thought it would be a neat idea for my 5 year old. I ended up buying this one for her and purchasing a starter pack for myself and my step-son (braces version). I LOVE using these. My mouth is very small and with these it just makes it so much more simpler to floss. Yes, you might have to buy the replacement floss which is expensive, but you may be able to re-floss (that's what I'm going to do). It's worth purchasing a starter pack to try at least. I've been flossing daily now since I purchased them which was 2 months ago.

So easy to use
I admit that it took me a loooong time to fall in love with the Gumchucks but I absolutely have.I floss almost every night so when I got a sample from Amazon vine I used them and then stopped. Then I noticed that I wasn't flossing as often. So I started up again with the Gumchucks. Then it I purchased the bag of refills and really haven't turned back. It's just easier to use these.I purchased this present set of Gumchucks for our teen girl. She's good about brushing but sort of lazy about flossing. When I let her borrow my Gumchucks I noticed it was easier for her to add flossing to her nightly routine. So, bought her her own so I can have mine back.Recommend. Try one starter set and see what you think. More than one person can use a starter set because they come with additional little flosser sets. Kinda pricey but ultimately I think it's worth it because gum and teeth health effect overall health.

Great for kids with Braces and more efficient than flosser!
Note that this starter kit is not braces friendly, so for someone who had to educate themselves to get this for the first time (like me), here it is. I bought this regular starter for my 6 years-old and another set for my 8yo. The younger still has to learn to coordinate his hands, it seems that he does better with flosser so still has a learning curve. The ortho kit is perfect for my oldest with braces, and it is so much better than having to thread floss tooth after tooth. He is very happy and learned how to manage it pretty fast.

No better way to floss
My dentist turned me on to these -- they make flossing easy to do properly. Haven't used regular floss in years.

These are great
My dentist gave me my first set. I will never use regular dental floss again because these are the best thing ever!

She’s excited to floss!!!
Works so great and it makes flossing fun! My 4 yr old daughter wants to floss everyday! I let her do it and then I get the back ones. I actually bought a second set for me to use!!! Makes flossing so much easier. Huge fan recommended to everyone. Refills might seem expensive but it works so to me its worth it.
