Dr. DiTolla’s Patient Product Review

Call me a cynic, but I gave up trying to convince men over the age of 35 to floss a long time ago. I still hear my hygienist trying to do it, and part of me wants to stop her anytime I hear her say, “John, let me show you how to use this floss threader under your bridge.” But I don’t want to be a dream killer.

To be honest, I hate flossing, too; perhaps testosterone and floss don’t mix. That all changed for me when I wore braces and discovered ShowerFloss®, a product I actually enjoyed using! And like its name implies, routine use requires just an extra 60 seconds in the shower.

ShowerFloss is a powerful irrigation device that hooks to your showerhead. Use it in the shower to avoid getting your clothes and mirror dirty. Getting men to use traditional floss is a great solution in a perfect world, but in this world getting them to ShowerFloss on a daily basis is far superior to the occasional toothpick.
