We love this flosser! Since I started using it there has been noticeable improvements in my oral health. My husband is a dentist and recommends this brand to his patients. Way to go Slate!
I had always struggled with using dental floss. The floss would get slimy and slipped in my fingers while I used it, making it hard to hold, and I could never figure out how much floss to use. Sometimes I could not get my fingers far enough into the back of my mouth to get to the molars, the entire process was unpleasant and frustrating. I tried water piks, which take up a lot of space and are loud and require cleaning, which became tedious. I tried interdental piks with little wire brushes, which helped some but was frustrating trying to get to those back molars without stabbing the gum with the tip of the pik. None of these options were easy to do, and my motivation to use them was low.
Mind you, I was not a huge brusher of teeth either, but as I’m getting older, I worry about how my teeth will hold up as well as my heart health. The dentist says my teeth are not that bad, but I know they could be better kept with regular flossing and brushing.
I saw the advert for the Slate Flosser and while I liked the concept, I balked at the price. Could it really be worth that price? So I searched for a cheap option on Amazon, just to test it out. The $50 dollar option came with interchangeable heads (flosser, toothbrush, water pik), which was appealing, but the build quality was terrible. The flosser heads were very small and were made of plain hard plastic, unlike the Slate rubberized heads. When I used the unit, there was only one speed, and the hard plastic flosser head would bump against my teeth, which was extremely uncomfortable.
I decided to spring for the Slate. After all, I had exhausted all options and felt like I owed it to myself to give it a try. And I was not disappointed!
The unit was easy to hold in my hand, the rubber bumper on the flosser heads was comfortable in my mouth, and the gum sweeps that are at each end of the floss head prevent any hard plastic from hitting my teeth (and they massage the gums). But would I feel excited about flossing and brushing? It is a habit after all, and I did not have one for either habit.
I decided to dedicate flossing and brushing once a day at night before bed, just to see if I could get that habit down. So far, I’ve hit every night since I got the Slate and have been excited to use it every night! It’s so easy to use, I feel like there is serious dental hygiene going on. I even use it twice, just to be sure I got those back molars, then end with brushing.
I am still early on in using the unit, but I am pleased with the investment! The unit is easy and, dare I say, fun to use. I can’t wait to see what my dentist/hygienist has to say at my next check up, thank you so much for this amazing product!

Thank you for sharing!
A lot of thought went into creating such a wonderful tool in the care of the mouth but we need a carrying case that’s rechargeable while in the case when traveling. Or just a carrying case if you want to keep it simple. It’s really disappointing when the product is almost complete. Other than that it an awesome glosser and would recommend.
Thank you for your feedback. We are working on a case for the Flosser and hope to have that released soon!
I love this flosser, my teeth feel so clean. I’m obsessed.
We are so happy to hear that! Thank you for sharing!
Went to the Pinners Conference over the weekend and ran into Brynn and her incredible team. I never would have thought I'd stop by a floss company's booth, but here we are – and I’m so glad I did!
I've struggled to make flossing a consistent habit over the years, though I’ve gotten better about it recently. This chance encounter felt like serendipity.
I had a million questions, and they took the time to walk me through what the Slate Flosser can do and how it could even replace my water pick. I wasn’t the easiest sell, but they patiently answered every question. Their passion and knowledge were clear, and the product's innovation truly won me over. I went home with the Slate Flosser and tried it that same night. MINDBLOWN.
It’s super easy to use, and the sonic technology takes it to the next level. After one use, I felt like I’d never truly experienced a clean mouth before – a good floss and tongue scrape really do make a difference!
Huge shoutout to the Slate team for creating such an incredible product and delivering a fantastic experience. They’ve got a loyal customer here!

I really, really did not like flossing. I had tried other alternative ways that didn't require me to wrap floss around my finger, but none of them stuck and I hated the waste. There are times now when I am absolutely craving my Slate flosser. I hesitated on the purchase because of the price-- sometimes I get pulled into that mindset of "oh maybe throwing money at this will fix my problem" and usually it doesn't. Well, this time it really did. I love using my Slate flosser and my 3 year old is begging for his own. I am a convert and have been recommending it to everyone I know.
Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our Slate Rechargeable Electric Flosser! We are thrilled to hear that you are a regular flosser now! We hope your 3 year old gets their own! Did someone say stocking stuffer? Happy Flossing!
The present YouTube instructions seem to be inadequate. It should show that once the floss head is through the interproximal contact point. the handle should be pulled with pressure toward the distal surface of one tooth and moved up and down vigorously, taking the floss subgingival You should then repeat the up and down motion pushing against the mesial surface of the adjacent tooth A recommendation of 5 or 6 strokes of the floss head on each surface would also improve getting the most effective result of removing the bacterial biofilm The patient should know that the biofilm (plaque) removal is the objective not just food particles
Thank you for your feedback, it has been sent to our team!
I love your flossers they are strong! It keeps my teeth clean! I like the tongue scraper in the back very handy!
Thank you for the positive feedback on our Slate Flosser! We're so glad to hear that they are keeping your teeth clean and that you find the tongue scraper to be helpful. Happy flossing!
This is the first time in my life that I am happy to floss regularly. I used to floss about twice a year but with the slate, it’s almost everyday.
Thank you for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that our product has made flossing a more enjoyable experience for you. Keep up the great habit!
Fantastic flosser. Sonic technology is very effective. Battery lasts a long time. Floss lasts a long time if used correctly. This was invented by a real dentist too!

Amazing feedback! Thanks for sharing.
I've never been the person that enjoyed string floss. Who is? A few years ago, I discovered the original Listerine stick flossers which worked great for a while until P&G decided to cheapen the floss string to save $ and those things broke after every use. Nevertheless, the concept was excellent and I continued to use them until today. Then I discovered Slate, thanks to Meta's advertising prowess and tried it. I liked the idea because the form factor is the same but now you get sonic technology and gum sweeps and tongue scraping all in one rechargeable package. After trying it for the first time, I was hooked. The string broke on me a few times at first because I wasn't following the CEO Brynn's directions but once I did, each head now lasts 5 days (I have tighter molar spaces). The company is founded by a real dentist (not some TV kid) and customer service is outstanding. I truly hope Slate will grow and sell their products retail as well to reach more people because the product is outstanding. Well done Snyders!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled that you're enjoying the Flosser and appreciate your kind words about our customer service and founder, Brynn. We apologize for any initial trouble with the floss string, but we're glad that following the directions has improved its durability for you. We hope to continue providing you with a fantastic flossing experience. Thank you for choosing Slate!
The leather case works perfect for my flosser
Amazing! My mouth feels cleaner. My gums are a little sore, but less bleeding. It worked hey Siri immediately. I will update my progress after my first dental deep cleaning.
Amazing feedback! The soreness should go away after a week or so. This means you are getting a deep clean!
I can’t explain why I have resisted flossing so much, but I think I’m probably not alone in that. Maybe it’s the pain on my fingers wrapping the floss tape around them, the gross smelliness of it—it all just has felt so inconvenient that I have never done it regularly. I’ve had my slate for one week, and I think it is going to be a game changer for me. It just feels so much easier to use the slate flosser. I love how much cleaner my mouth feels. And guess what? When you floss regularly, it doesn’t reek anymore when you do. It just feels doable now to floss regularly.
We're so happy to hear that our Electric Flosser has helped you overcome your mental block against flossing. We understand the inconvenience and discomfort that can come with traditional flossing methods, and we're glad our slate flosser has made it easier for you. Keep up the great work and enjoy the feeling of a cleaner, fresher mouth!
