Gentle Curved Toothpicks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

GUM Soft-Picks Advanced Are a Gentle Alternative to Flossing

— January 5, 2017 — Lifestyle
Flossing is a hugely beneficial oral care practice, but the GUM Soft-Picks Advanced offer an alternative that can keep teeth just as clean. The gentle, curved toothpicks massage the gums, dislodge food, and, most importantly, remove harmful plaque between people's teeth.

Though few would argue with the efficacy of flossing, many people forgo regular flossing if only because it's relatively tedious task -- especially during frantic mornings or sleepy evenings. The GUM Soft-Picks Advanced offer a far easier cleaning process, and their soft synthetic rubber tips are far more soothing than taut strings. Plus, the picks' new curved design makes it easier to reach the spaces between any teeth, even the molars.

GUM Soft-Picks Advanced come in sets of 60, meaning that consumers won't have to constantly stop by the drug store.
Trend Themes
1. Alternative Oral Care - The GUM Soft-Picks Advanced provide a gentle alternative to traditional flossing.
2. Convenient Dental Hygiene - The easy-to-use GUM Soft-Picks Advanced offer a more convenient cleaning process.
3. Improved Accessible Design - The new curved design of GUM Soft-Picks Advanced makes it easier to reach all areas of the mouth.
Industry Implications
1. Oral Care - The oral care industry can explore disruptive innovation opportunities by developing more gentle and convenient alternatives to traditional flossing methods.
2. Consumer Goods - Consumer goods companies can tap into the demand for more accessible and user-friendly dental hygiene products, like the GUM Soft-Picks Advanced.
3. Retail - Retailers can benefit by carrying products like GUM Soft-Picks Advanced that offer convenience and satisfy customers' oral care needs.
