Good morning,
Today we would like to talk about another alternative to traditional flossing: water flossing. Of course we always recommend that each of our patients still use traditional flossing daily for the health benefits. However, some patients have a very difficult time or special circumstances which make it harder for them to use the regular flossing methods. For those cases, another alternative is water flossing. What is water flossing you may ask?
"For those that don’t know, a water flosser (also known as an oral irrigator or waterpik water flosser) is a device that is essentially able to floss between your teeth by pressuring water through a small hose and nozzle.
It is able to reach places that a toothbrush never could, and can provide a more comfortable experience than using standard string. Basically, it’s just a small pressure washer for your mouth, but the pressure is low enough so that it doesn’t hurt your gums and often provides a much better cleaning than using floss string (testingteam.net)."
