Flossing has been around for a long time (since the 1800s, in fact!). And today, flossing is
considered to be an integral part of an effective everyday oral healthcare routine. But for a good
many of us, flossing is a difficult chore that we often end up avoiding. This is due in large part to
how time-consuming traditional flossing can be (especially if you’re still struggling with long
loops of flosser string as you navigate those hard-to-reach sections at the back of your mouth).
While there have been some advances over the years in the type of flossing products on the
market, the new Slate Flosser, designed by our guest, Danny Snyder, is a uniquely innovative
invention that is having a transformative effect on how people floss. In today’s episode, Dr. B
sits down with Danny Snyder to discuss his new electric flosser product, the Slate Flosser,
where he got the idea from, and the incredible ways it is helping people floss better and more
regularly without the hassle that comes with traditional flossing. If you’ve ever struggled with
flossing, and are curious about how you can improve your technique, then you won’t want to
miss this informative conversation!

What Dr. B Recommends
glad i gound something like this. I have ADHD, and its super hard for me to keep up with dental hygiene. flossing is one of those areas thats difficult for me since i always forget. This product might actually make it way easier for me to floss.
Ive had so many fillings, i think my mouth is 50% filling.
Great product. Loving it. Thanks for the interview Dr.Burhenne.
I now use interdental brushes. Also the Easy Flosser clean perfectly between teeth. But the interdental is my favorite specially the new Gap picker brand..
Great interview👍
Excellent episode👍

Thinking of getting this or a waterpik ultra professional. Any recommendations between the two? I think i may still find this tedious if i have to fit the string between the teeth. The water flosser sounds easier but if the slate flosser would give better results i will get it instead.
Love it🔥👏
I am wondering what is your opinion about water flossers.
@askthedentist - Mark - If we have small pockets at the base of our teeth and regular floss won’t slide down that far, would it be helpful to use a slate with the floss part cut off, so just the rubber tips disrupt bacteria in the pocket? I’m wondering if this could make the pocket receded.
There isn't a link to show where to buy one...?! Did I miss something?

Highway robbery. Cost a dollar fifty just to floss your teeth each time. He could have made it so that you could just add the floss instead of replacing the head every time. It is not right to charge a subscription just to floss your teeth.
