Flossing sucks,
there we said it.

It’s kind of gross, sometimes painful and generally environmentally harmful. It also turns out we’ve been doing it the same way for 200 years, so we decided to change it up.

There’s enough chores in a day.

That’s probably why two in three people aren’t flossing daily.

So, other than to avoid lying to your dentist, why should you? Well, it turns out there are a lot of health benefits beyond the aesthetic and it’s actually super important.

Why aren’t people flossing?

A
Boring and time consuming
B
Unhygienic and awkward
C
Painful and difficult to reach
D
All of the above

Real talk: Why should I floss?

Flossing helps get rid of plaque, which is the sticky, colorless bacterial film that can build up on the sides of your teeth.

Too much plaque build-up means you're on your way to tooth decay, which can cause holes (cavities) in a tooth's hard outer layer (the enamel). Left untreated? You might be up for a lot of pain, infection and scary-big dental bills.

TL;DR: Ignore plaque at your peril.

As if cavities aren’t bad enough, plaque build-up can also cause gum disease, making your gums sensitive and inflamed. This can lead to bleeding gums, loose teeth and even tooth loss. While early-stage gum disease (gingivitis) is reversible, later-stage gum disease (periodontitis) is not. Nearly half of adults over 30 have some form of gum disease, so start flossing now to save your future teeth.

We know oral health is connected to our physical health — it is the front door to our body after all. But new research shows that oral care is also linked to our mental health.

It goes two ways. Oral health problems are often made worse when someone has mental health needs, and mental health can be made worse by poor oral health. A good oral hygiene routine (that includes flossing) can help to break the cycle and reduce stress, anxiety and depression along the way.

We know that oral health is connected to whole body health since your mouth is literally the front door to your entire body. But we’re also learning that oral health is intimately connected to mental health.

The connection between the two is bidirectional: Oral health problems are often exacerbated when a person has mental health needs, and mental health is likely to be made worse by poor oral health. Practicing good oral health habits (like flossing) can lead to reduced stress, anxiety and depression.

So you can add Flaus to your daily meditation practice for peace of mind and gums.

Brushing is essential, but only cleans around 60% of the surface area of your teeth.

That means the gaps, cracks and spaces between your teeth are left uncleaned. For context, that’s like going to the toilet and only wiping your cheeks. Say it with me now — eww.

Floss

For The

Future

If you're feeling a bit bleak at this point, don’t despair — Flaus is here to boldly go where no toothbrush has gone before.

Our solution

Dentist Recommended

Our dentists love it and yours will too. Flaus was not only designed by a team of dental and engineering experts (and people who hated flossing), but is proudly recommended by dental surgeon Dr Vivian Roknian.

Good vibes only

Flaus uses up to 10,000 sonic vibrations per minute to move quickly and gently between tight teeth, removing stubborn plaque and debris where your toothbrush can't. Bonus points — your gums get a nice massage in the process.

Finger-lickin’ Free

It will come as a shock to no one, but dental hygiene is supposed to be hygienic. Our premium, ergonomic aluminium handle gives you full control and keeps your fingers (and the 10 million bacteria that live on them) out of your mouth. Didn’t COVID teach us anything?

All fun and gums

Track your daily progress and earn yourself some gold stars. Each day that you floss for at least a minute, our smart LED dot will light up, helping you to track your flossing and build a healthy habit.

We’ve all lied to our dentist,
but Flaus knows the truth.
