Hi! I started flossing about a year ago and never want to stop, I think
I've missed about only 1 night. So I am very happy about this. Anyway,
I was using a very generic floss from CVS which has finally ran out
(I'm surprised about how long a box of it lasted.. one of the best
investments I have ever made for sure). My dentist gave me another type
of floss, Oral-B Satin, which I just started using. It feels much nicer
and makes for a more enjoyable floss, but I fear it almost glides *too*
easily... perhaps over the plaque? Could this be the case? Of course I
am not a dentist and this is sheer speculation, but I thought I may as
well ask!

Also, last time I was at the dentist, he filled a small cavity on the
upper right. Since then, whenever I floss between those teeth, the
floss becomes a little torn/shredded. This makes things a bit more
difficult as sometimes the floss will break and get caught in my mouth
afterwards. Not too often but it is a pain! I suppose I will ask him
next time about that, but that is still a few months from now. So for
the moment, does anyone care to elaborate on why this may have
happened? I'd just like a technical explanation our of curiosity.

Thanks!
