Advantages of water flossers in dental flossing

You can always expect one same question every time you go to a dentist’s appointment: do you floss your teeth regularly? There is a high probability you aren’t doing enough flossing, and research has shown that only one in five people floss their teeth on a regular basis.

Flossing your teeth is very important because of removing food rests, plaque and also the bacteria that remain between the teeth which are unreachable with a normal toothbrush. This is why experts are recommending interdental flossing as a very important and vital way of taking care of your gum and teeth.

Beside standard flossing there are also other possibilities of cleaning the area between your teeth. There are many products for interdental cleaning on the market and one of the most famous ones is the Waterpick water flosser.

Water flossers are especially recommended for people with dental braces. They represent a very effective way to clear the plaque that sticks to the brackets and it improves gum health. It is clinically proven this is the most effective way to remove all bacteria and food rests around the braces.

It is recommended to use the water flosser at least once a day in order to maintain good teeth and gum health. Beside that, it is also important to brush your teeth regularly, in the morning and in the evening begore going to sleep.

There are many advantages to using a water flosser and these are some of the most common ones:

• Many people find it hard to develop a habit of flossing their teeth every day because they find it tedious. Using a water flosser is a much more precise way of flossing and it is much simpler to use
• Plaque is constantly generated and if you don’t brush your teeth a new layer of this damaging material is created each time on the surface of your teeth.
