18 Ways to Improve Dental Health

Taking care of your teeth is not just about brushing. You need to floss, too. And let’s be honest—traditional flossing is a pain. That’s where electric flossers, like Flaus, come in. They make it easier, faster, and way more effective to clean between your teeth. Want to upgrade your oral hygiene routine? Here are 19 ways to improve dental health with electric flossers and get the cleanest teeth of your life.

Flossing every day is non-negotiable. It helps remove food debris and dental plaque from between your teeth, reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. An electric flosser, like, Flaus, makes this process faster and easier, so you have no excuse to skip it. Pair it with your electric toothbrush for a complete clean.

Not all flossers are the same. Some have long handles, some have different types of floss heads and some, like Flaus, use sonic vibrations. Consider your gum sensitivity, orthodontics, and dental hygiene habits when picking the best flosser. 

Too much pressure can irritate your gums, while too little won’t clean effectively. Many electric flossers let you adjust settings, so experiment to find what feels best. For example, Flaus has three settings - 10,000, 14,000 and 18,000 sonic vibrations per minute. The higher the setting, the easier it is to get through tight teeth. If your gums bleed, that’s a sign to go gentler and be consistent. Bleeding usually stops as your tissue gets healthier.

Gingivitis and periodontology issues often start at the gumline. When using an electric flosser, make sure you are properly C-Shape flossing around the tooth and getting below the gum line. This removes hidden bacteria that cause inflammation and bad breath.

Sonic vibrations help break down plaque more effectively. A flosser like Flaus uses up to 18,000 sonic pulses per minute to clean deep between teeth. This is a game-changer for anyone serious about their oral hygiene.

An oral irrigator uses pulsating water to flush out debris from tight spaces. If you want the ultimate clean, combine an oral irrigator with your electric flosser. This is especially helpful for people with deep pockets in their gums.

Your jaw structure makes it harder to reach the molars. Neglecting them leads to plaque buildup and tooth decay. An electric flosser with a long, ergonomic handle makes it easy to clean those hard-to-reach spots without having to put your fingers in your mouth.

Just like a toothbrush, flosser heads wear out. Your floss head should be changed daily so that it does not harbor bacteria.

For a complete clean, use your electric flosser with mouthwash and dip the floss head into the mouthwash as you go. This helps kill bacteria and keeps your breath fresh. Choose an alcohol-free mouthwash to avoid irritation.

You can’t floss once a week and expect miracles. Make it a habit by keeping your flosser on the countertop where you see it (or use Flaus' mirror mount). This makes it easier to stick to a routine.

Flossing removes plaque, but fluoride toothpaste strengthens your tooth enamel. Use a high-quality toothpaste to protect against tooth decay and improve dental health.

Flossing only tackles part of the problem. A tongue cleaner removes bacteria and prevents bad breath. It’s a small step that makes a huge difference.

Drinking water helps wash away debris and maintain saliva flow. Dry mouth leads to more plaque buildup, so drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Pressing too hard can damage your tissue and cause inflammation. Let the flosser do the work. If you feel pain, ease up.

Bacteria can build up in your flosser. Rinse it well after each use (or dip in mouthwash) and store it in a dry area. Remember - floss heads should be changed after every flossing session.

Floss first, then brush. This removes debris and allows your toothpaste to work better.

Even the best flossers can’t replace professional cleanings. Visit your dental hygienist twice a year for checkups and deeper cleanings.

Flossing is one of those things everyone knows they should do, but let’s be honest—it’s a struggle. Traditional dental floss is awkward, time-consuming, and let’s not even talk about the finger circulation issues. That’s why Flaus exists—to take the hassle out of flossing and make it an effortless part of your daily routine.

With up to 18,000 sonic vibrations per minute, Flaus gets deep between your teeth, removing plaque and debris more effectively than string floss ever could. Its ergonomic, one-handed design means you can floss without feeling like a contortionist trying to reach those tricky back teeth. Plus, it’s gentle on gums, reducing the risk of bleeding and irritation.

Another major win? Flaus is eco-friendly, thanks to its recyclable heads. You get all the benefits of a powerful clean without the guilt of tossing plastic picks in the trash every day. And since it’s rechargeable and portable, you can keep your flossing game strong whether you're at home or on the go.

Let’s be real—if flossing were easier, you’d do it more often. Flaus makes that happen. No more excuses. No more skipping days. Just clean, healthy teeth with minimal effort.
