Why a Periodontist Invented the AutoFlosser
Periodontists specialize in the prevention and treatment of gum disease and the long-term maintenance of teeth and dental implants. Daily plaque removal between teeth and around dental work is essential for preventing inflammation, infection, and bone loss.
Over the years, Dr. Jackson treated many patients who were diligent about brushing but struggled to floss effectively. This was especially true for patients with implants, bridges, orthodontic braces, and bonded retainers.
Even highly motivated patients often found traditional floss difficult to thread under dental work or through tight spaces. These challenges can lead to plaque accumulation in areas that are difficult to reach—placing both natural teeth and dental restorations at risk.
While water irrigators can help flush out loose debris, they do not consistently remove the sticky biofilm (plaque) that adheres to tooth surfaces and dental restorations. Effective plaque control requires mechanical disruption of this biofilm along the tooth, implant, and gumline.
For many patients, the challenge is not understanding the importance of flossing—it is the difficulty of performing it effectively in complex areas.
Our Mission
Our mission is simple:
To make flossing easier for people who struggle with traditional methods.
Millions of patients today have dental implants, bridges, orthodontics, or fixed retainers. These restorations improve smiles and oral health—but they can also make flossing more challenging.
The AutoFlosser was created to restore the benefits of daily flossing—and the clean, healthy feeling that comes with it.
