can you use them from the back of the teeth ? That's where I get food stuck and hard to get at

Yes you can. 1 end is pointed and good for Picking food particles from teeth, the other is soft bristles, to sweep debris away from between teeth.

Yes you can. You can reach to the back areas and from the inside of the teeth also. Occasionally the head will start to weaken quickly, so you may have to grab a fresh one to get the hard stuff. For the price I don't mind using a second one once in a while.

They are large and difficult for me to swallow. I might try cutting them up as someone suggested.

I don't go below my gum line and I'm very delicate. Take your time. It's harder to get the ones in the back. They are sharp.

They are supposed to be hard as they are a dental treat. The chewing process helps them get the tartar off their teeth. If he can't chew them, he may have an issue with his teeth and/or gums.

They are metal, so I would think so, plus it seems like it could hurt your teeth or make them uncomfortable to chew.

Try extending it all the way out and feeding it back in slowly. They have a mechanism in them like a seat belt.

Hi A C. Indeed I use a small silicon spatula inserted in the sides and gently push them up.

With difficulty! But they slide in the slots on the bottom back side. You just have to press/slide them with force.

Hi Irene. I tried to put a strip on the bottom and one on top at the same time and it was terribly uncomfortable and I could not keep the strips from "slipping" around in my mouth so I use one on top and afterwards one on the bottom. You can try it to see if it works for you but it did not for me. Have to use the separately but they work:)

I've never done that, but I believe you can. We usually use them for soup. I remember they come with a list of don'ts and care instructions, but can't find it.

You could chew them if you had to. They are in the form of a solid pill, but it would be possible to chew them up. Probably wouldn't taste great.

I still haven't used mine....but dout it if heat is what forms them to your teeth. Hot food beverages might melt them again.

Yes, but that being said they have the consistency of a fruit roll up. They kind of stick to your teeth.

Julie, What i did for myself and members of my family was pretty easy. I just heated up some water(certainly not boiling), and when they bacamevery soft I put them in my mouth and molded them. Basically I placed them on my upper teeth, and then sucked until they were good and snug and molded to my teeth. Then I waited a minute, took them out gently and placed them in cold, cold cold, water. They came out perfect for myself and others. Let me know if you have any more questions and I'll certainly help if I can. Happy New Year!! Pete G

They are somewhat large and thick; although they are coated I think you would have trouble swallowing them. You might have to split them in half lengthwise.

No~they fit snug against your gum line, either upper or lower. I can only speak for myself, but I have not had any such problem.
