If you're looking for alternatives to traditional flossing, here are a few options you can consider:

1. Water flossers - A water flosser is a dental tool that uses a pressurized stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline. It is beneficial because it can reach areas that traditional floss may miss, providing a more thorough and effective cleaning. Water flossers are gentle on gums and can be particularly useful for people with gingivitis, periodontal disease, or sensitive gums. *NOTE* Some dental professionals feel that water flossers do not protect against cavities, since they were designed to prevent gum disease. So if you’re cavity prone and using a water flosser, consider using a floss pick, as well. Which brings me to…
2. Floss picks - Also known as flossers, they are small, handheld devices that combine a short length of dental floss with a handle. They are designed to make flossing more convenient and accessible. Floss picks are beneficial for people who find traditional flossing challenging or prefer a single-handed flossing method.
3. Interdental brushes - Interdental brushes are small, little brushes designed to clean the spaces between teeth and remove plaque and debris. They are effective in reaching areas that regular toothbrushes and string floss may not access easily. Interdental brushes are beneficial for maintaining good oral hygiene, preventing gum disease, and promoting healthier gums by removing bacteria and food particles from hard-to-reach areas. *NOTE* Some dental professionals feel these CAN replace traditional string floss as long as you’re using the correct sizes for your individual teeth.

Remember, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene by cleaning between your teeth daily, whether using traditional floss or alternative methods. You may want to consult with your dental hygienist to find the best option for your specific needs.
