Only 22 percent of us have achieved the lofty status of flossing every day, surveys say.

So why doesn’t someone come up with a device that allows us to floss when we are stuck in traffic or paying bills online?

In fact, somebody has. Majestic Drug has developed an innovative solution called Proxi-Plus®to help us keep our teeth and gums healthy when we are on-the-go.

Recommended by dentists, Proxi-Plus is a little blue device that cleans teeth and those hard-to-reach areas of the mouth.  There’s an interdental brush on one end and a flosser on the other to remove food from between teeth, clean plaque and stimulate gums.

The nice folks at the company sent me some samples to try. My husband Dale, the ultimate multi-taker, uses Proxi-Plus to floss as he checks his Facebook posts. You can find them at Walgreens and other drugstores for about $6 for a pack of 30.

No more hassle of carrying a toothbrush and toothpaste in my purse. And no more excuses for not flossing. Proxi-Plus is small, sanitary and disposable, ideal for busy people who really, really want to floss more often.
