Slate Dental launches electronic flosser

Slate Dental has launched the Slate Electric Flosser that the company says is designed to dramatically simplify flossing without sacrificing oral cleaning ability.

Designed by a dentist, the Slate Electric Flosser is said to help users improve their oral health by addressing the critical need of accessing hard-to-reach areas between teeth that water-based electronic flossing tools struggle to access.

“Water-based electronic flossers are easy to use, but they’re only effective at accessing the exterior parts of teeth, missing key problem areas,” says Dr Danny Synder, the dentist inventor of the Slate Electric Flosser and co-founder of Slate Dental.

“By bringing real, high-grade dental floss together with a unique and powerful vibration technology and our patent-pending Gum Sweeps™, we make it easy for consumers to floss, while still getting to those hard-to-reach areas in the mouth.

Tested and rated

According to the company, the Slate Electric Flosser has been tested by over 500 registered dental hygienists in the United States, and was “rated by 73 percent of them as better than anything that is available on the market”.

The Slate Electric Flosser’s innovative floss head vibrates at 12,000 sonic vibrations per minute, enabling the floss to glide through tight spaces and access the problem areas.

Anti-bacterial sweeps

“The patent-pending Gum Sweeps™, uniquely contours each tooth, massages, stimulates, and cleans the gums to help eliminate plaque, bacteria, and other food particles that lead to tooth decay and gum disease,” says Slate Dental.

“On the back of each floss head there’s an anatomically shaped, 3-blade tongue scraper. It’s perfectly designed to remove any unwanted particles, removing up to 30% more odour-causing bacteria than a toothbrush.”

The floss heads are designed to be used multiple times and are easily replaceable.
