Flossing Is Easy
Flossing is Now a SNAP:
Flossing while being considered as essential to preserving healthy gums and teeth, is still much neglected by most people, especialy males. According to previous researches, only 15% males floss their teeth daily. The difficulty inherent to wrapping a piece of floss around two fingers, which then turn all red due to blocked blood circulation, doesn't seem to promote flossing in spites of dentists' urgings.
Many dental floss aids help with the holding of the floss, but to the detriment of loss of tactile feedback essential for smooth flossing. Some only help with front teeth but not molars, other are mechanical marvels but do little to make flossing less aggravating.
A new floss aid is now available to overcome the red fingers problem and loss of tactile feedback when a floss holder is used: the SNAP floss rings. Each ring comprises two rings hinged together, with one ring open. Therefore the piece of floss can be wrapped 3-5 turns around the annular body of the open ring at a particular notch, then the two rings are snapped together, forming a single solid ring.
The pulling force on the floss actually increases the forces that the outer turns press on the inner turns of the floss to make it even more secured. Two taps facilitate the opening of the two hinged rings for easy removal of the used floss.
Given the floss is now well secured against the rings, flossing can be done with mouth still full of toothpaste foam, to benefit from the cleansing action of toothpaste, which also masks any unpleasant odor from plaque already accumulated around the teeth. A couple of passes of the floss on one's tongue complete the exercise of dental hygiene. Thus a same setup of 6' of floss secured by 2 SNAP (tm) floss rings can help smooth flossing and be used to clean one's tongue also.
Not counting on savings in floss, the SNAP floss rings can help people floss more frequently and effortlessly, thus saving them dentists' and oral surgeons' bills. Of course usual benefits of flossing also apply.
