Description
Brushing and mouthwash work wonders but don’t always cover every nook and cranny. Dr. Ginger’s Expanding Floss covers those hard-to-reach places that can accumulate plaque and bacteria that are otherwise left behind. It is infused with coconut oil and xylitol to help fight cavities and gum disease while providing the whitening and overall health benefits offered by the practice of “oil pulling.” Kind of the best of both worlds, right?

It feels like it really scrubs your teeth which is nice but it’s also kind of thick and hard to get in and out of tight teeth. I don’t know if I understand the whole expanding aspect? I don’t think I’ll buy this one again personally.

I have tight teeth and have no problem with it breaking. Because it is expandable, it covers more area. Had been using another brand by Listerine and you can’t buy it anymore. Glad I found this. I have had multiple gum grafts and this doesn’t bother my gums.

Don’t hate it. This floss works better than straight waxed floss, but it doesn’t expand like other expanding floss does. My teeth feel cleaner after using other brands.

I love this floss! It does an excellent job. My husband found that it didn’t work for him, as he has some very tight spaces, which, oddly, broke the floss. So take that into consideration, I guess. I also found that it only expands with several passes through. Maybe that’s common with expandable floss? I don’t know, but once I got the hang of it, I feel like I floss more effectively now. Will set up automatic delivery for this one.

Working to get rid of plastics in my world and this was an important step. I find it works as effectively as Glide brand but without the harmful plastics.

I like it and easy to use

It is decent floss but nothing special. I wouldn’t buy it again.

This dental floss does a good job of pulling bits of food debris from between teeth and at the gum line, yet is still gentle on gums.

Received in timely manner and packaged great. My dental assistant recommended this for my teeth. Didn’t know about expandable floss. Works fantastic.

So far, my dental reports are good. This floss works. Thank you.

Love this stuff! Best floss since Oral B took their deep cleaning floss off the market. Doesn’t shred and works well in tight spaces and gaps.

I’ve been using the coco floss but it’s getting expensive so I tried this floss and it is just as good and $10 cheaper

It’s a good product it just keeps breaking in my teeth because they’re so close together. Flavor is good it does exactly what supposed to but I think it depends on your teeth

Not as thick as I wanted it to be.

This product is hard to use. It is hard to get the string out of the container.

Perfect for teeth with larger spaces between teeth yet also works great for the teeth that are closer together as well, as I have both kinds. It has been a blessing and I am very pleased!

Save your money. The floss expands after you’re done flossing. Makes it easy to see on the counter if you don’t throw it away immediately.

the smell of the mint is like 100 times stronger than the flavor. I mean I just flossed and I didn’t taste anything. Also I thought it would be oiler? with all the “coconut” advertisement I thought it would also condition my gums, nope. You have to open the container first before usage to “untangle” the leading end so you can pull and cut with the case, which I thought was annoying. The material rips apart very easily with tightly closed teeth closings, I had to use two strings to do my mouth, which I thought was little cheap.

I like how it fluffs up after you use a section.

This is a nice product BUT is not very good for close together teeth. Very difficult to floss with because of the tight fit between teeth. It’s very tough though and that helps with this problem. Overall is a good product though. Wish I could have bought one instead of three so I didn’t throw so much money at it to try something new. It’s very expensive.

I really like the “expanding” feature of this floss. Works really well and it’s comfortable in the teeth and I feel like I’m able to get in between all the crevices well. I just wish it came in less plastic packaging. I would buy this floss over and over again if I could buy just the floss and put it in a reusable container.

Best floss I’ve found to date. Used to use Coco floss, but this is better!

It is not the highest grade of flosses, and the flavor was not there and the woven part was good.

I’ve only used this product for a few days and so far I like it. Nice mild flavor. Floss is a little rougher than my usual floss so it seems to clean my teeth better. My teeth are very close together but I had no trouble fitting this floss between my teeth. The only thing I don’t like about this (as well as many other natural tooth products) is the added xylitol, because it is poisonous to dogs. I’ll have to be careful not to leave this out anywhere my dogs can reach it. I will look for a non-xylitol version next time. I don’t need my floss to be sweet anyhow.

It’s good floss but just seems too expensive for floss. For the price I was expecting something amazing.

I have been looking for a good floss for a long time, and now with the news about how the Big Companies coat their floss with bad chemicals. . . . This floss is great. My teeth are close together in the front, but this floss still works well. Thanks!

My dental hygienist suggested I try out a floss with coconut as a more natural option. I found this, and even though the product is amazing, it just wouldn’t work between my tight teeth. I contacted them to see if they carried anything else, and they said I needed the “flat floss” which they did not carry.

I have not flossed in a while because I have been looking for a vegan and eco-friendly product. When I found these, I was so excited. They work great and now I look forward to flossing!! The expanding nature is super innovative and picks up all plaque and buildup. One thing – I wish the actual flossing packaging was not in plastic, but I appreciate the outer packaging being in cardboard/recyclable (not sure if it is compostable or not).

I like spongy flosses and swear by xylitol in oral care products, and I really wanted to like this floss. I use a spongy cardamom floss and thought this would be even better because of the xylitol, but I found that it lacks a softness or stretchiness and kind of hurts my gums. I have used other spongy flosses, and they do not feel as cutting as this floss. It may work for some, however. My tooth surfaces felt clean after using this floss, and it feels like it picks up a lot of plaque due to its thickness, it was a bit rough for my liking.

It was thinner than expected but did the job.

4 Stars because I love the concept of an expanding floss and the benefits of the ingredients. Love the refreshing mint feel/taste my gums and mouth have after flossing. However, the floss is a bit rough on the gums and shreds/frays easily. Hubby refuses to use because it gets stuck between his teeth and he can’t get it out.

This expanding floss is great. You can feel the texture cleaning really well between your teeth and it’s a nice flavor. Very happy I tried this brand.

My hygienist recommended this and after a month and a half of consistent usage my gums showed a marked improvement. Combine with Perioclear mouthwash, tongue scraper, Plackers and Phillips electric toothbrush for a comprehensive periodontal protection/prevention program.
