One minute to transform reluctant flossers

Despite dental professionals recommending flossing for over 200 years, only approximately 22% of the UK population floss at all. Whilst many start full of good intentions, compliance levels

are notoriously low because flossing is technique sensitive and takes time to get right. Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro is designed specifically to change this. It is the first flossing

device which is clinically proven to improve gum health and has evolved from the award winning AirFloss original. The latest model includes several upgraded design features to further

improve its interdental cleaning performance and ease of use, with particular benefits for people who floss inconsistently. Cleaning interdentally with AirFloss Pro takes only 60 seconds

once daily, so can easily be built into an oral care routine and even the time-starved will have no excuses. In this short space of time the improved proprietary microburst technology

removes up to 99.9% of plaque and is clinically proven to improve gum health in over 90% of users. The Philips Sonicare AirFloss Pro features new _'Triple Shot'_ functionality

which delivers a powerful, three burst shot of either water or mouthwash and air to remove plaque even more rapidly and effectively than previous models. The newly designed high performance

nozzle tip also allows for greater control and improved targeting between teeth with less splash back, whilst three modes mean that users can tailor the experience to their specific flossing

needs. www.philips-tsp.co.uk RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS Reprints and permissions ABOUT THIS ARTICLE CITE THIS ARTICLE One minute to transform reluctant flossers. _Br Dent J_ 221, 204 (2016).
