You don’t have to be a dental professional to know that people hate flossing. Surveys show that people prefer things like cleaning the toilet, doing their taxes, or even listening to their kids cry to flossing. Despite potential reasons like perceived effort, finger discomfort, lack of dexterity, lack of immediate gratification, or seemingly intangible benefits, flossing is widely considered to provide significant oral health benefits.
I understand the intricacies of oral health and appreciate that our industry has developed numerous products to help patients address oral health issues, including interproximal brushes, tooth stimulators, flossing sticks, and water flossers. However, these products seem to lack the level of innovation we expect from our technology-driven industry.
Advances in dentistry often involve a variety of technologies, such as artificial intelligence, 3D scanners, lasers, and cone beam imaging. Sure, trendsetters have applied technology to electric toothbrushes, but flossing has been isolated in a corner and has not seen much progress in innovation. Until recently.
Developed by a dentist, the Slate electric water flosser represents a breakthrough in oral health technology. While traditional water-based electric flossers have trouble reaching those hard-to-reach areas between teeth, this innovative device is designed to effectively remove plaque and tartar with ease and precision. This water flosser meets the specific needs of patients, ultimately helping to improve oral health.
The Slate electric water flosser’s handle is designed in one piece, which increases durability and simplifies maintenance. This design also makes it ergonomic, ensuring that users maintain a comfortable grip throughout use.
In addition, the handle has a curved neck design, which enhances maneuverability and flexibility to reach hard-to-reach areas, and gives it a suitable C-shape that fits easily between teeth. The vibration motor built into the neck maximizes the vibration of the floss head to effectively remove plaque and tartar. All in all, this handle reflects meticulous attention to detail and unremitting pursuit of quality in the design and development process.
This electric water flosser combines advanced features to bring you a complete oral care solution. It is made with 450 pieces of premium dental floss, which is free of dental wax, toxins and Teflon to ensure durability and safety.
It delivers unmatched cleaning power with superior sonic vibrations at 12,000 times per minute. Its patented Gum Clean feature mimics the shape of teeth and gums to clean between teeth from plaque and food particles that are usually removed by brushing alone.
The floss head is all included—just rinse and dry like a toothbrush. Plus, this innovative flosser design includes a triple-bladed tongue scraper on the back of the floss head for a comprehensive clean, making for a complete oral care experience.
With the Slate Flosser, flossing with braces has never been easier. The specially designed orthodontic floss head easily slides under braces wires and brackets. The flosser is equipped with rubber bristles that gently brush both sides of the brackets while sliding under the wires.
The rubber ribs clean the outer surfaces of the teeth simultaneously in one smooth motion. This modern design saves time compared to traditional flossing with a floss threader, which is fiddly and time-consuming, especially for teens with braces.
The patented Bracket Sweeps are engineered to fit the shape of brace heads, teeth, and gums. These engineered floss and bristles effectively remove plaque and food particles that are typically removed by brushing alone. With the Slate Flosser, maintaining oral hygiene with braces is simpler and more effective, ensuring optimal oral health throughout orthodontic treatment.
Whether used at home or in a professional dental setting, the Slate electric water flosser provides a convenient and effective oral hygiene solution. Its user-friendly design makes it easy for users of all ages and abilities to use, ensuring its advanced engineering is accessible to everyone.
Slate continues to innovate with a host of upcoming features such as colored floss tips, nano-hydroxyapatite coated floss tips, and rechargeable floss. The Slate electric water flosser marks a significant advancement in oral health care, showcasing how dental professionals and cutting-edge innovations can work together to improve patient health.
