Best Plaque & Tartar Removers of 2026

"As a dental professional, I can honestly say this is the only floss I truly love. Unlike others, it has a waxy texture that makes it so much easier to grip and control, and it doesn’t shred during use. It just works so well for my flossing routine."

"I switched to this floss after my hygienist recommended it, and I’m glad I did. It’s thicker and slightly rougher than what I used before, which means it cleans my teeth much more effectively. The price is totally fair, and one pack lasts a long time."

"I floss every day, sometimes twice, and this floss is my go-to. It glides smoothly between my teeth, never shreds or gets stuck, and the mint flavor is just the right amount of refreshing. I also appreciate that it’s PFAS-free and easy to wrap around my fingers. I had to buy a 6-pack online since it’s often out of stock locally!"

"I’m genuinely impressed by how this floss never frays, even when I use it on my tightest teeth. The mint flavor is subtle yet refreshing, and the textured, stretchy design makes cleaning feel thorough and comfortable. The case is compact and the cutter works flawlessly, which isn’t always the case with other brands. I also appreciate that it’s PFAS-free, so I feel good about using it daily."

"As someone who’s picky about floss, I have to say this is the best I’ve tried. It’s slightly stretchy and thicker than most, so it cleans better without breaking or slipping. I find myself using less floss overall, and my teeth feel much cleaner after use. I just wish it was easier to find in stores, but I’m grateful I can order it online."

"I started using this floss on my dental hygienist’s recommendation, and I understand why it’s a favorite. It slides easily between teeth, stretches just enough, and scrubs the sides really well. At first the feel was unusual, but now I love how thoroughly it cleans compared to slicker brands like Glide. This is the best I’ve found so far."

"I've tried numerous brands, but Reach floss stands out for its durability and reliability. It never shreds or breaks, even with my sharp-edged teeth. The mint flavor leaves my mouth fresh, and the spool size lasts a long time. This is a must-have for maintaining healthy gums and teeth!"

"For me, this floss is a game-changer. The generous 200-yard spool is cost-effective, and the waxed coating lets it glide smoothly, even in tight spots where others get stuck. I appreciate that it's PFAS-free and the mint flavor is just right—not overpowering. The only minor drawback is that it can be a bit slippery if my fingers are damp, but overall, it makes flossing easy and stress-free."

"I always come back to this floss because it doesn’t fray, splinter, or dig into my fingers like some cheaper options. It’s gentle yet effective, and I love that it keeps my gums healthy. The only slight issue is that the spool can occasionally jam, but it’s easy to fix and totally worth it for such a dependable product."

"After trying various options since Listerine woven floss was discontinued, I finally found my new favorite in DrTung's Smart Floss. It’s gentle, expands to clean thoroughly, and isn’t waxy or plastic-like. The natural, refreshing flavor and paper packaging are huge pluses for me. I couldn’t believe how clean my teeth felt after the first use!"

"I switched to this floss after learning about PFAS in my old brand. DrTung’s is strong, slightly expanding, and doesn’t shred. The clean feeling after use is noticeable. While the new paper packaging is a bit delicate, I appreciate the eco-friendliness. It’s pricier, but I’m planning to buy in bulk."

"With sensitive, receding gums, I was hesitant to floss daily until I found this. It cleans deeply yet gently, almost like a sponge between my teeth, without breaking or hurting. The subtle cardamom aroma is unique and pleasant. Best floss I’ve ever used!"

"After having several gum surgeries, I started using these on the recommendation of my periodontist's assistant. They've made a noticeable difference in my gum health, and I actually enjoy using them daily. I highly suggest starting early to keep your gums strong and your teeth secure."

"These have been part of my routine for over ten years, and my dentist always praises the condition of my gums. They help prevent bleeding and really get into areas that floss sometimes misses. While not a substitute for flossing, they're a fantastic addition to my dental care."

"I was glad to find these replacement tips here since my local stores stopped carrying them. They work perfectly with the original handle, though it requires a bit of effort to attach the new tip. Still, the price and convenience are unbeatable."

"I've switched over to this floss because the thicker, woven texture really helps remove more debris than standard floss, and the price is much more affordable compared to Cocofloss. Quality is just as great, and I feel like my gums are cleaner after using it."

"After trying out several flosses, I found this one delivers a scrubbier, more effective clean—just what my dental hygienist recommended. It's gentle on my sensitive gums and does a great job at removing plaque, unlike slippery options like Glide."

"This has become my go-to floss because it works so well and lasts a long time. The texture and thickness hit the sweet spot, and while it's a bit pricier, it feels worth it for the results I get."

"I've relied on this dental tape for years and found it perfect for cleaning between wider teeth spaces. It never shreds and the price is unbeatable compared to others I've tried."

"Switching from Glide to Reach Dento Tape was a game-changer for me. The wider, thicker tape gives a professional clean, especially after Glide became too thin. I’m sticking with Reach from now on!"

"While the tape itself is great and budget-friendly, I do wish the container was easier to use—it gets stuck halfway through, which can be frustrating. Still, for the price, it’s worth it even if some goes to waste."

"I've found these toothpicks to be far superior to dental floss for cleaning between my teeth. Their sturdy build and brush tip make them super effective and gentle. I absolutely recommend them."

"After using these brush picks for years, my dentist consistently notes how healthy my gums and teeth are at every checkup. They're super easy to use after meals and do a great job keeping my mouth clean."

"I was introduced to these by my dentist and they've made a big difference. My hygienist even remarked that I'm one of her easiest patients because of how well these picks help maintain my oral health."

"I found these floss picks to be really effective at getting between my tight teeth, something I struggled with using other brands like Oral-B. While I wish they were easier to find in stores, I’m happy to buy them online because they actually work and don’t break."

"As someone with a small mouth, I appreciate that these picks make it much easier to reach my back teeth. The pick end is perfect for clearing food from gaps where it tends to collect."

"I like how these are strong and durable, especially compared to other brands that seem to break easily now. They’re also a great value for the price."

"I've tried various interdental brushes, but I find TEPE's durability and cleaning power stand out. The mixed pack lets me pick the right size for each gap, and the brushes last much longer than other brands I've used."

"I struggle with wider gaps and gum issues, so I was glad to discover these brushes. They clean really well and are sturdy, though I wish all sizes came with a cap for easier carrying."

"As a first-time user, I was pleased that these brushes make my dental routine easier—especially when I'm too busy to floss. The sampler pack helped me find the right fit for my teeth."
