Plackers hopes it's love at first floss for new kids' flossers

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. -- Plackers aims to help parents instill healthy dental habits at a young age with new Dual Grip Fruit Smoothie Swirl Kids’ Flossers.

The new Flossers are designed with a unique dual grip handle making them easy for kids of all ages to use and allowing parents to assist. They are also brightly colored and come with an angled head, allowing kids and parents to easily reach all teeth. Plackers’ Hi-Tech floss is engineered not to stretch, shred, or break, and includes fluoride to promote strong teeth and reduce tooth decay. 

“Dentists recommend as soon as a child has two teeth that are touching, parents should help them begin a daily flossing routine,” said Greg McCormick, SVP of Global Innovation and Technology for Plackers’ parent company, Ranir. “Plackers new Kids’ Flossers were designed specifically with parents and children in mind to offer an easy, fun and flavorful way to teach kids about flossing and healthy dental care habits. If parents teach their kids healthy habits when they’re young, they will be more likely to carry on those habits throughout their lives.”

Plackers enhances the overall flossing experience for kids with its new Flosser Friend. The adorable monkey-shaped flosser holder is meant to amp up the fun factor and help kids look forward to flossing. Not only is the flosser holder a cute way to store kids’ flossers and keep them close at hand, its flip-up cover design allows kids to easily access their flossers. The Flosser Friend is easy to open and clean, and comes pre-packaged with 30 dual grip kids’ flossers.
