It's not about finding the one best product for everyone––it's about discovering the products that fit best for you!
Traditional Floss
Pros: It's the most effective way to clean completely between all teeth & proven to improve, prevent & stop the progression of gum disease.
Cons: Not convenient to use outside of your home, feels tedious & incredibly technique-sensitive.
Why We Love It: Works around even the tightest trickiest teeth & typically has a minty flavour leaving you fresh.
Floss Picks
Pros: A way to remove the trickiest trapped food between teeth without having to tie your fingers around a string or floss. Great for on-the-go.
Cons: They do not reach fully under the gums in a "C" shape motion. Great for food removal, not as good as string floss for plaque removal. Single use.
Why We Love It: Super convenient and accessible to purchase!
Soft Picks
Pros: For many people, it can reach complete access through almost all of the teeth, even some of the tightest areas.
Cons: Single use & tend to bend during usage. Does not clean plaque around the gum-line on the outside or inside of the teeth.
We We Love It: Compact! Comes with a slim case that holds 4-8 picks at a time.
Proxy Brush
Pros: Great for those with open spaces and wires from orthodontics.
Cons: Proxy wires bend, nylon bristles harbour bacteria & intended for single-use.
Why We Love It: Comes in a variety of sizes and compact for convenience.
Water Floss
Pros: Great for food debris and light plaque deposits. Ideal for those with 'gaps', periodontal pockets, orthodontics & dental implants.
Cons: Despite it's name, does not replace traditional flossing & should act as an addition-to string floss. Pricey, requires an outlet & not idea for on-the-go.
Why We Love It: Enticing for those who refuse to use traditional floss.
Sulca Brush
Pros: Refines & enhances plaque removal for the hard to reach areas your toothbrush bristles cannot reach.
Cons: Not ideal for on-the-go & nylon bristles tend to harbour bacteria. Mainly for the gumline, not ideal for in-between.
Why We Love It: Easy to clean plaque behind your bottom front teeth, where most people experience heavier tartar build-up.
Rubber Tip Stimulator
Pros: Reusable. The fine tip can be used to clean between crevices of the teeth, manicure the gum-line to remove plaque and massage the gums to stimulate blood flow.
Cons: Not compact nor ideal for on-the-go. Not intended to clean completely between teeth the way traditional floss would. Easy to use, easy to clean, painless.
Why We Love It: Cleans under the gums on the inside & outside of the teeth, where floss does not reach. Great around implants & managing inflamed gums. Easy to use, easy to clean & painless.
Stimmie
Pros: It's reusable, compact, has a cap & ergonomic design. Similar to the rubber tip stimulator, the fine tip can be used to clean between crevices of the teeth, manicure the gum-line to remove plaque and massage the gums to stimulate blood flow. Reaches under the gums on the inside / outside of teeth where other picks can't, without breaking!
Cons: Not intended to clean completely all the way between teeth the way traditional floss, soft picks or proxy brushes would.
Why We Love It: All the same reasons as the rubber tip stimulator–and more! Stimmie is the perfect pocket companion & always travel size. Stunningly beautiful & never hiding away in a drawer.
Wooden Toothpicks
Pros: Conveniently available at many bars & restaurants. Can "pick-out" food on the surface in a pinch.
Cons: Proven to cause damage to teeth and gums & risk of GI trauma if swallowed.
Why We Love It: For cooking and serving hors d'oeuvres––that's it!
