Perio Sticks™
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 treated with dyes or flavoring.
How THIN are Perio Sticks?
Our THIN Perio Sticks are significantly thinner than regular toothpicks or any dental stick you’ll find at the drugstore. Their ultra-slim shape easily glides between teeth, removing plaque and food particles with ease. So comfortable, you'll likely be recommending the clean feeling to others! For extra-tight spaces, our X-THIN Perio Sticks are the slimmest available anywhere, offering an even more precise clean.
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.
Are Perio Sticks eco-friendly?
Perio Sticks are made from sustainably managed Nordic Birch which is certified by The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). The plastic-free paperboard packaging is made of responsibly sourced wood fiber which is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Both Perio Sticks and their packaging are naturally biodegradable.
