BURST Oral Care has announced the launch of the BURST Adult Interdental Floss Pick, a single-use, 2-in-1 interdental cleaning tool designed to support patients who have difficulty using traditional floss. According to the company, the product combines a floss pick with a soft silicone interdental pick in one ergonomic design intended for patients with low dexterity, small mouths, or limited time for oral hygiene routines.
According to the company, the tool was developed to address patient compliance by simplifying daily flossing and providing features aimed at encouraging consistent use. These include black floss designed to show removed plaque and debris; a soft silicone branch pick that dislodges debris and stimulates gum tissue without the use of hard plastic; a contra-angled handle to improve access to posterior molars; xylitol-coated floss to help inhibit cavity-causing bacteria alongside mint essential oils for breath freshening; and a biodegradable wheatgrass-based handle that is paraben-free, BPA-free, vegan, and cruelty-free.
“As a hygienist of over 10 years, I see patients struggle with flossing every single day,” said Dominic Castro, registered dental hygienist & ambassador community manager, BURST Oral Care. “This is going to be a game changer for those who either can't get on board with traditional floss or are looking for something different. The silicone tip is far gentler on their gums than reaching for a hard toothpick. The Ambassador community and BURST really outdid themselves with this product, and I'm excited to see patients get more excited about flossing.”
According to the company, BURST Oral Care develops its products in collaboration with a nationwide community of more than 40,000 dental professionals, incorporating clinical input into product design and development. The company states that this approach is intended to align oral care products with patient needs encountered in clinical practice.
The BURST Adult Interdental Floss Picks are available now, and more information is available at burstoralcare.com.
