Today, there are so many inventive options to help our patients better care for their teeth. One of those devices are floss sticks - and we love them! Floss sticks are disposable, Y-shape, hand-held sticks that hold a span of floss between to prongs. These sticks help you floss without dealing with a long, cumbersome thread. They are especially great for people with dexterity problems or people on-the-go. They can easily fit in your purse or your pocket to help loosen plaque wherever you may be!
Here are some things to keep in mind with floss sticks. They are disposable for a reason. After using that one section of floss on your entire mouth, it becomes exposed to enough bacteria that warrants it unhealthy for a second use. So just as your would with regular floss, throw the stick away after each use. Also, we recommend rinsing the floss on the stick as you're using it. As plaque gets dislodged from your mouth, it needs to be removed from the stick with running water.
So pick up floss sticks and give them a try! We think you'll like how you feel and how you look.
