reach access flosser

so ya, i dont know if anyone has bought this, but i did, and it was working great until it got stuck underneat one of my fillings, and i had no choice but to pull...and the motherfucker ripped out half of my filling

my tooth hurts, i can only eat on one side of my mouth...and fuck if i bite down on the tooth while eating i practically scream

so for anyone thats been thinking of buying one of these...avoid teeth with lots of filling crap ... and just use regular floss for that

don't these things just use regular floss anyways?
and why not just release the floss [assuming you can with these ones] and slide it out, rather than pull?

i have a different one, and it's just normal floss, but you can release it if it does get stuck..
it's good, it's just too bad i can't floss more than 6 of my teeth.

sucks about your filling though :(

you can't? strange.. how do you change the floss then?

if you get one like what i have, you can release the floss to change it, so it won't get stuck and break your fillings..

it has this little "u" shaped thing that has the floss on it and after a floss you throw away the old and click on the new one..

kinda like you would with a razor or something

they emailed me back saying that they would give me 2 free products.

ohhh.. i have the same little handle thingie, only it's not reach, it's butler gum. there's no clicky thing, you pull the floss yourself. might want to get one of those, then you can release it! :)

at least you got something out of it [besides a broken filling :\]
