I tried to get it out with a new floss but it seemed to be jammed in pretty tight.  So quickly looking for solutions, everything I read suggested one of those floss threads which I have used before when I had braces.  At the store I found that and I also saw some stronger pieces of floss on a handle which I thought may work too.  So I bought both them.<\/p>\n<p>When I got back home I first tried the thread solution.  It actually didn\u2019t work as even though I got the floss between my teeth above, the jam was too strong it seems and I couldn\u2019t push it down.  In fact, it felt like the floss was getting ripped again too.  I then tried the strong floss on the handle and that didn\u2019t even seem to work.   So kind of a waste of money huh?  In reading for more solutions it was suggested that those wax floss may help.  I have used those before which seemed very premium.<\/p>\n<p>So hopefully that work tomorrow as I go buy that.  While this was only a few dollars, imagine all the time we do this in hopes of finding a solution to a problem.  It makes you wonder if it is just better to just pay an expensive fee for a professional like say a dentist in this case from the start.  Then again, if this ends up working then I walk away with money saved plus I learned how to deal with the situation in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This got me thinking as recently I was just flossing my teeth as usual and for some reason the dental floss I was using started to rip apart in use which meant little pieces got stuck between my teeth.
