Isn't water flosser just a water jet?Why is it so expensive?

If you can afford orthodontics, you must be able to afford water flosser.There is no one who has used it but said yes.So this is actually a question from a friend who has never flossed before, and is hesitant to try it. Water flosser is not a consumer necessity, it is an optional consumer product.What is a consumer necessity?It is daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil and salt, toilet paper, water and so on. We cannot live without them.What is an optional consumer product?It refers to the consumer goods that can improve your life besides essential consumption after you become rich, such as luxury goods such as cars, designer bags and watches.

If an electric toothbrush is a consumer necessity,  water flosser is a consumer option, and using water flosser doesn't mean you don't brush your teeth.Electric toothbrush and water flosser are not alternatives, nor are they opposites.So water flosser, she says, is less efficient than electric toothbrush brushing, so the argument that  water flosser is useless is moot. water flosser is never compared to an electric toothbrush.1. Why does brushing your teeth need to be supplemented?Because brushing ability varies from person to person, we recommend that parents brush their teeth for children younger than 6 years of age, because the child's hand motor ability is not sufficient to support such a precise movement.And even for adults who don't have a hand problem at all, cleaning a toothbrush isn't always an easy task.We oral doctors repeatedly recommended the electric toothbrush, can effectively clean the gingival crevicular, how many people master it?I've never given a brushing test, but if there were one, half of us would probably fail.The pass rate for careful brushing is still low, not to mention the effectiveness of brushing by people who brush lightly.

Even if you brush your teeth correctly, there are still places in your mouth where you can't clean your toothbrush. First of all, please think about how many faces a tooth has.How many surfaces can a toothbrush clean?A tooth has five surfaces: occlusal surface, labiobuccal surface, glosso-palatine surface, proximal medial surface, and distal medial surface.In addition to the occlusal surface, the other surfaces are attached to the gums.Electric toothbrush can clean the occlusal surface, lip and buccal surface, glossous-palatine surface, but can not do anything for the near and distal adjacent surface.For the interface between teeth and gingival crevices, the electric toothbrush can only enter the area of 0.5mm in gingival crevices, and the deep gingival crevices are also inaccessible.This must be able to clean the adjacent surface, gingival crevicular auxiliary tools out of the water floss.3. Among the supplementary tools for brushing, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the functions are not completely overlapped.Water Flosser:  water flosser can be cleaned to the adjacent and subgingival surfaces. It is a very cheap tool.However, the subgingiva of the buccal lingual side cannot be cleaned.At the same time, there is a certain technical sensitivity to use.Improper use may cause problems with gingival cleft.
