GumChucks

Study Proven:
Faster Flossing for Kids

Proven in a UCLA study: Kids floss faster, more effectively, and actually want to floss with GumChucks.

FLOSSING SPEED

The study shows that GumChucks cut flossing time by roughly 30–40% across all child age groups.

  • Average flossing times dropped from ~150–160 seconds (string floss) to ~100–120 seconds (GumChucks).
  • Significant time savings and ease of use, particularly valuable for children learning consistent oral care habits.

FLOSSING EFFICACY

The study demonstrates that GumChucks improved flossing efficacy by nearly 2× compared to string floss in children and adolescents.

  • In every age group (4–9, 10–15, Children overall), GumChucks users achieved roughly 45–50% efficacy, while string floss users reached only 25–30%.
  • Superior plaque removal and flossing effectiveness when using GumChucks.

I can’t say enough about how glad I am to have been encouraged by my hygienist to use these. I had been getting progressively worse in my gums, even though I am a committed brusher. I have always not liked flossing because I found it difficult to get to my back teeth especially. These GumChucks make it incredibly easy and incredibly efficient. I look forward to flossing now, I FEEL my gums responding to the new level of clean. I am actually excited to go back to my next cleaning to see how much I have improved.

My dentist recommended these during my last visit since I have trouble reaching at the very back to floss. I also have a crown back there and regular floss would just cut whenever I tried to floss. The string, while small, is very strong and doesn’t fray or cut when I floss by my crown. The extra length from the handles reaches all the way back!

These are amazing! I am a dental hygienist and somehow have never heard of these until recently. After trying it out I plan on recommending GumChucks to all my patients that find it difficult to floss. It’s much easier to floss behind your back molars and in between them as well. So very impressed with this product!
