So far I have always cleaned with dental floss. Every now and then you have pulled too tightly and rubbed and so made the gums sore. When dental cleaning at the dentist I got to know this product and he gave me a couple of them equal with. I am thrilled that cleaning is wonderful. Injuring one can thus not, because then the stick breaks just from when you press too hard.
Addendum: Now the entire family has tested the sticks and they are all more than impressed.
