Water flossers are devices that use a pressurized stream of water to clean between teeth and below the gum line. They are important for oral hygiene as they can remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria in areas hard to reach with traditional brushing or string floss.

Uses:

  • Daily oral hygiene for removing food debris and plaque from tight spaces between teeth and below the gum line.
  • Cleaning around braces, dental implants, crowns, and bridges.
  • Suitable for people with sensitive gums or difficulty using string floss due to limited manual dexterity.
  • Can deliver antimicrobial solutions into periodontal pockets for enhanced cleaning.

They are gentle on gums, easy to use, and ideal for people with braces, implants, or sensitive gums.

Water flossers reduce gum inflammation, bleeding, and risk of gum disease by reaching deeper into gum pockets. They are recommended for daily oral hygiene, especially for those with gum disease, orthodontic appliances, or dexterity issues.

When it comes to dental hygiene, water flossers are revolutionary! They are perfect for people with braces, implants, or sensitive gums because they efficiently clean areas that are frequently missed by string floss or regular brushing. They lessen bleeding, gum inflammation, and plaque by applying a mild stream of water. Their simplicity of use promotes consistency, which results in cleaner breath and healthier gums. A very wise addition to any regular dental regimen!
