Slate is officially four years old! To honor this milestone, we’re sharing the four most important things we want you to know about Slate and our Slate Electric Flossers.
1. The Slate Electric Flosser was invented by an actual dentist
Dentist Dr. Danny Snyder invented the Slate Electric Flosser because he was tired of seeing his patients come in with a mouth full of cavities. Like any dentist, he encouraged his patients to floss, but they just weren’t doing it. That’s when Dr. Snyder started to wonder how he could build a product that made flossing so easy, his patients would actually floss daily. Of course, there are other options designed to make flossing easier, water flossers and floss picks being the most popular, but they’re often not as effective as dentists want them to be. That’s the problem the Slate Electric Flosser was designed to solve. It's built to clean your teeth thoroughly with minimal effort needed.
“Water-based electronic flossers are easy to use, but they’re only effective at accessing the exterior parts of teeth, missing key problem areas. By bringing real, high-grade dental floss together with a unique and powerful vibration technology and our patent-pending gum sweeps, we make it easy for consumers to floss, while still getting to those hard-to-reach areas in the mouth.” - Dr. Danny Snyder
2. Slate Customers are seeing real results at their dentist appointments
The Slate Flosser was designed for top-tier results. Our non-toxic woven floss, sonic vibrations, and gum sweep technology all work together to give your teeth the best at-home clean possible. Because Slate is so effective at removing plaque, stimulating the gums, and cleaning out the pockets between teeth, our customers see amazing results at their dental appointments. Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what our customers had to say!
"Just had my first dental cleaning since I started using my Slate Flosser. My dentist was blown away by how much better my gums looked, and there was no bleeding. This flosser has been a game-changer and has made such a difference for my oral health!" - Victoria H.
"I can’t go a day without my Slate Flosser. Using the Slate is a must for me; the difference it has made has been noticeable with my twice-yearly dental checkups. My gums are healthier, and some staining on my teeth is completely gone. I highly recommend the Slate for the whole family. The purchase of my Slate Flosser is the best decision I’ve made toward my dental health." - Linda Meye
"After 6 months of using the Slate Flosser, I had an annual exam. And the results were phenomenal, the best numbers ever! The hygienist was very pleased with the health of my gums and that the plaque was minimal. She is as impressed with the Slate Flosser as I am. Thumbs up, highly recommend." - Christine C.
3. The Slate Electric Flosser is backed by dentists AND dental hygienists
Tested by over 500 registered dental hygienists in the United States, 73% rated the Slate Electric Flosser as better than any flossing tool available on the market. Dental professionals are consistently impressed with the 3-in-1 design of Slate floss heads. Floss + gum sweeps + tongue scraper. Combined with Slate’s 14,000 sonic vibrations, our floss heads address each core area of the mouth, disrupting the plaque and biofilm on your teeth, stimulating your gums, and offering a convenient option to clean your tongue.
“I’m a periodontist, and the Slate Flosser is a game changer!! Getting hands with floss to reach the back teeth is difficult for people. Access is easy with the Slate Flosser! No excuses! I’m going to start offering it to my patients.” - Dr. E. Drew Moore, DDS
“As a dental hygienist, I was never a huge fan of floss picks because the design was poor & oftentimes patients weren’t using them right. The Slate Electric Flosser is designed the right way with vibration to help loosen the plaque up. I love the concept, functionality, & the look. I’ll always be faithful to string floss personally, but for my patients who don’t like to use string floss, I’m recommending Slate flossers ALL DAY!!" - Nicholas RDH
“The Slate Flosser has been a game changer for our patients. Flossing has become a much easier task for our patients to complete. One patient told us that this is the best oral care device he has ever used. I would highly recommend the Slate Flosser, especially for perio patients.” - Dr. Hughes, DMD
4. Slate customers become consistent flossers
In our study on how using Slate affects flossing habits, we found that before using Slate, 35% of users didn’t floss at all, and 40% only flossed 2-5 times per week. After using the Slate Electric Flosser, 84% of users flossed an average of 5-7 times per week and 98% flossed 2 or more times per week. If you’re trying to become a daily flosser, then the Slate Electric Flosser is the oral care tool for you. Our customers are building lasting habits and seeing real results.
“I switched from a water flosser, and I’m never looking back. I used to rely on a water flosser for years, thinking it was the easiest and most effective way to clean between my teeth. Then I tried the Slate flosser and was genuinely surprised at how much better it performs.
The Slate gives me a noticeably cleaner, deeper floss; it actually grabs and removes plaque and debris way more effectively than the water flosser ever did. No messy water spray, no splashing, just a quick, thorough clean that leaves my teeth and gums feeling fresher.
If you’re someone who wants real flossing results without the hassle of traditional string floss or the mess of a water flosser, do yourself a favor and give Slate a try. It’s become a permanent part of my routine; I honestly enjoy using it now. Highly recommend!” - Zach G.
