Questions (FAQ)
What are Perio Sticks made from?
What are Perio Sticks made from?
Perio Sticks are made from selected parts of the Nordic birch tree. Only a small amount of the wood from each tree has the qualities suitable for our shaped, flattened Perio Sticks - the wood must be both strong and flexible. The wood is harvested from sustainably managed forests in Scandinavia, and is not bleached, treated with dyes, or flavoring.
How THIN are Perio Sticks?
How THIN are Perio Sticks?
Our THIN Perio Sticks are much slimmer than regular toothpicks or drugstore dental sticks, making them perfect for gliding between teeth to remove plaque and food with ease. So comfortable, you'll want to share the clean feeling. For extra-tight spaces, try our X-THIN Perio Sticks—the slimmest option available for an even more precise clean.
They seem to break easily. Am I doing something wrong?
They seem to break easily. Am I doing something wrong?
The best technique is to moisten the Perio Sticks in the mouth for about 30 seconds before using. They then become pliable and can bend up to 60 degrees! Not only does this help prevent them from breaking, but it enables you to clean those hard-to-reach areas at the back of your mouth.

Richard Gabriel DDS, Eugene, Oregon
As a practicing dentist for the last 40 years (4 years in public health and 36 in private practice) with an emphasis on periodontics, it has been a real pleasure to personally use and prescribe to others drTung's Perio Sticks. They are similar to Stimudents but double ended and made from a non-splintering and bendable wood when moistened. They provide a great adjunct to flossing with the ability to reach across the interproximal spaces. These great little tools are spendy but worth every penny and very long lasting.
