Philips Sonicare AirFloss makes flossing easy and quick

by Kym - Divine Finds on August 7, 2012 · 30 comments

I have enjoyed using the Philips AirFloss over the last few months and keeping my teeth sparkling clean. It is a fantastic invention that makes flossing so easy,  it is now no longer a chore! If you missed the review from a few weeks ago or haven’t had a chance to read it yet, you will find it below….and keep reading to the bottom for your chance to win!

Philips Sonicare AirFloss

Do you hate flossing? Getting out the piece of flossing tape and trying to stretch your jaw open as wide as possible, while almost putting you entire fist inside your mouth, to get to the very back teeth. Sound familiar? This is what it is like for me when I do actually floss. I will admit that I never use to floss everyday, brush yes, but floss no. Basically it was just to much of a painful process! that was until I got the new Philips Sonicare AirFloss to try out and I am now a flosser convert. It is seriously so easy and works so well that flossing is no longer something I avoid.

Philips Sonicare AirFloss

What makes the Philips AirFloss so good, that I am now a convert and happy to floss?

  • It doesn’t use flossing tape but Microburst technology instead, which is the fancy name for quick bursts of pressurized air and micro-water droplets. It is highly pressurised and really helps clean deep between teeth where a toothbrush can’t reach.

  • It claims to take only 60 seconds to floss and that is spot on. I can easily floss in between all my teeth in that time using the AirFloss.
  • It doesn’t hurt and has never been painful or caused bleeding like flossing tape can sometimes do.
  • The handle is slim and easy to hold and the long, slim and angled nozzle reaches back teeth easily
  • It uses water and air, so no need to buy anything special to go with it (although you can use mouthwash if you wish)
  • It is rechargeable and so far I have had it off the base for 2 weeks and it’s still working perfect!
  • It has a simple button to press on/off and it has an easy click big button to release each burst.
  • The reservoir is easy to fill up and does an entire session. (It does says it will do 2 sessions but I found that generally it lasts one good session. Not a real issue though as you just fill it up with water again in a couple of seconds)

Philips Sonicare AirFloss

So yes, it is really, really good and I love it, but I haven’t mentioned if it is messy or not?

I have mentioned before, that I tend to brush my teeth in the shower and I have found that using the Philips AirFloss in the shower has been really good too, because it can be a little messy at times. This is not to say you can’t use it at the sink, because you most certainly can, and it is designed to be used at the sink primarily, but a worthwhile tip is to lean over and lean into the sink, because as you click the button to make it burst, there will be a little of the water and air that shoots between your teeth, come back as it bounces off your teeth. I discovered this the very first time I used it, as I smiled, looked into the mirror to check the placement and pressed the button to find, yes it had flossed my teeth but also put water over the mirror.

I haven’t been the only person using the Philips AirFloss in the house and Sparky, who HATES flossing, has been really impressed with it too. With teeth that are not Hollywood straight flossing is even worse for him and he described the Philips AirFloss as “feels different but is works”. So a winner!

The Philips Sonicare AirFloss retails for $169 and if you hate flossing, don’t like using flossing tape, have crooked teeth, avoid flossing becuase it takes to long or just can’t be bothered but know you should be doing it, then I can highly recommend this for you. Your teeth will feel clean and flossed really well. So glad someone thought of this product!

This is a great idea! I could see the kids using it too as they hate putting their fingers in their mouths! Ingenious idea again Philips!

My favourite feature on this is how it not only improves gum health, but is also gentle on gums because mine are very sensitive.

That is a great feature Sheree, would definitely suit your gums.

Flossing – I always manage to make my gums bleed and cut the corners of my mouth with dental floss. I have tried the toothpick style flossers and they always seem to snap! Would love to give this a try!

I hear you, this saves all those problems, the money is worth it for how good it works I think :)

That is so great to hear Pat. I know people wonder if the price for it, is worth it and I have said that now that I have used it and love it I would definitely pay the price that it is, so it is great to hear feedback about you husband.

It’s true about damaging gums when manually flossing. I have very tight teeth and a crooked front one, so the Airfloss would be a godsend for me.

Reply

25 Kym - Divine Finds September 6, 2012 at 9:12 pm

It would be great for you Sharon, Sparky just doesn’t floss unless he uses the AirFloss now, it is just to difficult for him to get in between his teeth.

Clever idea – I must admit I do not floss, would i with this? yes I think I would

Reply

29 Kym - Divine Finds September 8, 2012 at 10:06 am

It is really clever and I am not a fan of flossing and Sparky really hates it. This has made it so much easier and now I don’t have to lie to the dentist and say I floss when I didn’t! lol
