Brushing twice a day and ossing once a day help prevent tooth decay and gum
disease. They work together as an unbeatable team – neither one works as well
without the other.
When combined with brushing, Sonicare AirFloss removes up to
99% more plaque between teeth than brushing with a manual
toothbrush alone.

How will switching to Sonicare AirFloss change your patients
interproximal cleaning regime?
“I think the biggest barrier to ossing compliance is how difcult it is to oss. I
think patients struggle with putting their ngers in their mouth and how messy
it is. What I love about AirFloss is the ease of use. You just point and click.”
Michelle Hurlbutt, RDH
