The Platypus Flosser

The platypus flosser is absolutely the fastest, easiest, most exciting flosser on the market today!

"Six months ago, Laura presented like most 11-year-old orthodontal patients, with inflamed tissue and plaque around her brackets," Scott Green DMD, from Frenchtown, Montana said. "On this recall, her gums were pink and there was no plaque. The platypus made a big difference."

This image highlights the simple yet effective design.
