October Newsletter: Slate's Big News, Tips & Favorite Finds!
Hello, Slate Family!
It’s been an exciting month here at Slate HQ, and I’m so grateful for your continued support. We've got some BIG news to share, along with some helpful tips, product finds, and an inspiring female founder spotlight!
🦷 Tooth Tip of the Month: You Don’t Need Insurance to See the Dentist
Did you know many dental offices offer wellness plans that help you get the dental care you need, even if you don’t have insurance? These wellness plans even help cover essential care that most dental insurance doesn't include. For example, sealants might not be covered, but they protect your teeth for up to 10 years—totally worth the investment! So, don’t let the lack of insurance stop you from seeing your dentist every six months. Preventative care can save you money and future discomfort by keeping your oral health in check.
❤️ Health Alert!
Research came out last week directly linking bacteria in your gums to a 50% increase in head & neck cancers. THIS is why the Slate Electric Flosser was invented. We care so much to make it easier for you to floss so you can lead a longer, happier, healthier life. GET YOUR FLOSSER NOW!

💬 Favorite Review of the Month
Here's a review that really made me smile:
"Before I found Slate, I was trying to improve my oral health, and brushing and regular flossing did not seem to be enough. An electric flosser? Never heard of such a thing. But the way people spoke about it, and the price, sold me on trying it. And it's much cheaper than a visit to the hygienist. Using the Slate flosser protects me from cutting my gums with regular floss, my mouth feels cleaner, my gums look better, and I use it at least twice a day! The tongue scraper is a great built-in feature and helpful! And their quick-response customer service is the very best."
Thank you for sharing your experience! Read more reviews here!
