I have always been quite half arsed about flossing. But lately I've noticed a fair build up of plaque just under the gumline so have decided to be a bit more proactive about my dental routine.

Anyway, I have straight teeth but the are very very close together. Even after a dental cleaning, I would have no gaps. I find it hard to get dental floss between my teeth. I have to force it and usually it results in bleeding gums due to the force.
I've tried interdental brushes in the smallest sizes and these don't fit either.

Any advice?

there are very fine/thin/waxed flosses on the market. 'Glide' is an example. the tighter together your teeth are the better. so don't feel left out!
