The importance of flossing in long-term oral health
Brushing may clean the surfaces of the teeth, but it's flossing that reaches the spaces where real problems often begin. Interdental areas are the most common site for plaque build-up, gum inflammation and early caries development. Without regular interdental cleaning, even the most meticulous brushing routine leaves behind the very bacteria that drive disease.
That’s why flossing remains one of the most important — yet underutilised — steps in preventive dentistry. Whether it’s with tooth floss picks, string or water-based alternatives, daily interdental cleaning helps protect the soft tissue, preserve bone support and extend the longevity of restorative work.
For dental professionals, recommending the right flossing solution can make all the difference. At Erskine Dental, we support this critical part of oral health with a trusted range of products that meet the varying needs of patients, from chairside instruction to at-home care.

Tooth floss picks are must-haves for both professionals and patients. They remove plaque and food particles from between teeth and along the gum line, which helps prevent gum disease and maintain overall oral health. We bring you a wide selection of flossettes and toothpicks that help you empower your patients to maintain their oral hygiene effectively, both in and out of the dental chair.
Our standard flossers provide a convenient and effective way to remove plaque and food particles between teeth. Many of our SupaGrip range come with built-in toothpicks, letting you access those hard-to-reach areas. We also offer specialised molar flossers for easy access to the back teeth and tongue cleaners to promote overall oral hygiene. Our standard dental flosses with handles are easy to use and gentle on the gums. Recommend them to patients who prefer a straightforward and reliable option for their daily oral care routine.
For those seeking a more advanced cleaning method, you can offer our Hydropik water/hydro flossers as a solution. These use water pressure to dislodge debris from between teeth and below the gum line. These are excellent for patients with braces, implants or other dental work where traditional floss might be challenging to use. Water/Hydro flossers provide a deep clean that helps maintain healthy gums and teeth.
Designed specifically for professional use during dental procedures, our in-surgery flossers feature super fine multi-filaments for superb strength and break resistance. Ideal for checking contacts and clearing interproximal cement, this type of floss is almost highly durable, even withstanding tight or rough contact points like corroded amalgam.

FAQs
Are your floss products reusable?
<p>Most of our flossers are for single use only, which helps maintain optimal hygiene. However, our water/hydro flossers can be a more environmentally friendly option, as they are reusable and reduce the need for disposable products.</p>
What type of floss is ideal for patients with braces and dental implants?
<p>For patients with braces or dental implants, we recommend hydro flossers. These innovative flossers use water pressure to clean around orthodontic appliances and implants, reaching areas that traditional floss might miss.</p> <p>Additionally, we offer Piksters Z-Floss, which can navigate around braces and implants. Both options help dislodge debris and plaque without damaging delicate dental work, ensuring optimal oral health for patients with these specialised dental devices.</p>
How do I choose between standard flossers, water/hydro flossers and in-surgery flossettes for my practice?
<p>The right dental floss sticks depend on clinical application and patient needs:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Standard flossers </strong>— Ideal for general use and patient take-home care. They are convenient and great for routine interdental cleaning, especially for those who may struggle with traditional string flossing techniques.</li> <li><strong>Hydro flossers </strong>— Offer a non-invasive, pressurised stream of water that can be beneficial for patients with braces, implants or periodontal concerns. They are often recommended for home use in cases where mechanical flossing is difficult or contraindicated.</li> <li><strong>In-surgery options</strong>— High-tensile floss in dispenser systems or bags are designed for professional use during clinical procedures. These materials provide reliable strength, control and precision, making them suitable for use around restorations, orthodontic appliances or during post-operative care.</li> </ul>
Can I include your floss picks in take-home hygiene kits for patients?

We offer twin packs and bags containing 200 Piksters® floss products, ideal for routine patient care, post-operative support or community oral health initiatives. These compact and easy-to-use options help promote consistent at-home interdental cleaning between visits.</p>
