Hate to floss


We have a simple dental philosophy: Only floss the teeth you want to keep.

For those that hate to floss and are just not going to; we have other methods. There are disposable flossers and flossing handles that will let you floss without having to wrap the floss around your fingers. Toothpicks and soft piks can also clean between your teeth when used appropriately. An electric, rotary, toothbrush called Rotadent has been proven to be an electric flosser. Independent research shows that it can get below the gum line and in between the teeth up to 3 mm when angled correctly. This is the same thing that proper flossing does.


The goal of flossing is to remove loosely attached plaque and bacteria from between the teeth. This helps to prevent decay and gum disease.


If you are just not going to floss, let's find something you will do.


We want you to keep all your teeth for a lifetime!
