Daily oral hygiene helps prevent periodontal disease. If good oral hygiene is not yet already undertaken, then twice daily brushing with daily flossing, mouthwashing and use of an interdental brush needs to be started. Technique with these tools is very important. Aged persons may find that use of these interdental devices more necessary and easier, since the gaps between the teeth may become larger.

Nearly all Americans brush their teeth. However, the ADA indicates that only about 12 percent of Americans floss daily, 39 percent floss less than daily, and 49 percent do not floss at all.

Levi Spear Parmly, a dentist from New Orleans is credited with inventing the first form of dental floss. He had been recommending that people should clean their teeth with silk floss since 1815.

Dental floss was still unavailable to the consumer until the Codman and Shurtleft company started producing human-usable unwaxed silk floss in 1882,. In 1898, the Johnson & Johnson Corporation received the first patent for dental floss.

A character is depicted using dental floss in James Joyce's famous novel Ulysses (serialized 1918-1920) - an early mention of the practice in literary fiction.

The adoption of floss was poor before World War II. It was around this time, however, that Dr. Charles C. Bass developed nylon floss. Nylon floss was found to be better than silk because of its greater abrasion resistance and elasticity.

FLOSS Without FLOSS
NO STRING ... NO MESS ... NO HASSLE

FINALLY... the FLOSS MYTH has been exposed. Recent studies indicate floss is not as effective as assumed, especially in the control of periodontal disease. Tissue trauma is also traced directly to this awkward device. Since most patients (90%+) do not floss regularly, compliance leaves even more to be desired. The reason of course, many people find string floss extremely frustrating to use.

SINCE 1986, ShowerFloss has openly challanged STRING floss with enjoyable home care. PLAIN WATER irrigation is superior to many prescribed solutions and is the perfect adjunct to interproximal and subgingival cleaning. Gingival bleeding often stops in a matter of days. What better way to clean implants, braces and bridgework while flushing pockets and massaging gums? Convenient shower location is conducive to daily use ensuring ShowerFloss a high compliance factor.

SOFT TISSUE MANAGEMENT is maximized by non-surgical periodontal therapy with IRRIGATION a critical element to dilute and flush loosely attached, highly toxic, subgingival plaque.
