FULL BIO
Healthwiz Nextrin is a inter-dental cleaning product designed to replace standard dental floss and suitable for use by children ...because it is easier to use and won't cause pain or bleeding.
This is an important, socially responsible, and useful product. Many studies show the link between poor dental hygiene and heart disease. However, most people hate to floss, ...using the current flossing products. This product can solve this.
Our product has the following advantages over standard dental floss:
1.) Healthwiz Is less expensive, both to manufacture and to use:
2.) Does not cause pain and bleeding, the primary reasons people don't use regular floss.
3.) Faster to use, Simply pulling between each tooth pairs is sufficient, rather than an awkward sawing back and forth motion.
4.) Safely cleans the entire tooth surface, even below the gum line and behind the sulcus.
5.) Removes plaque from both the teeth and the gums ...and in as little as one pass.
6.) Acts as a gum stimulator, while massaging the gums and increasing circulation.
7.) A Gentle debridement of dead surface tissue, promoting gum tissue health.
8.) Much better at removing debris than floss, grabs and holds even large quantities of gunk.
9.) Bacteriostatic, Does not wick bacteria into the interior of the film.
10) Provides much easier removal of large pieces of food, even when firmly caught between teeth
