Founded in 1993, Shanghai Lede specializes in the production of oral appliances, including dental floss, water flosser, electric toothbrushes, interdental brushes, etc., 80% of which are exported to Europe, America, Japan and other countries, as well as Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
 
In the face of tooth cleaning, the most commonly used toothbrush seems to be insufficient to carry out deep cleaning on the occlusal surface and interdental area of the teeth, and cannot effectively clean up the food residue and tartar between the teeth, which is easy to form tartar over time. Dental calculus can easily cause periodontal disease, so it is necessary to clean the gap between the teeth with the help of dental floss or toothpicks to prevent the formation of teeth.
 
The hardness and toughness of bamboo or wooden toothpicks are very suitable, but the fibers are loose and will form many fine burrs after bending, and the mucosal tissue of the gums close to the teeth is very fragile, which is easy to hurt the gums. Plastic toothpicks fill this shortcoming, they are hard enough not to bend and hurt the gums, and they are lighter, but they are not as tough as wooden or bamboo toothpicks, and they are generally flexible. Leder's plastic toothpick tips are designed to be flat and clean between teeth more smoothly than round tips. Lotter's plastic toothpicks are single-tipped with a matte pattern, and the lightweight, flat-tipped tip can quickly remove food without damaging the gums.
