The water flosser is very useful. The toothbrush can only clean the surface of the teeth. It is difficult to clean the gap between the teeth and the groove. The water flosser makes up for this shortcoming of the toothbrush, which can effectively clean the food debris between the teeth and the teeth groove. Before, I thought it was ok to brush my teeth carefully at ordinary times. Later, I found it was difficult to clean my teeth only by brushing my teeth.

Do not know you have such trouble: every morning and evening on time brush your teeth 3 minutes, why does gum still bleed easily, when serious still can you have halitosis? Why is it that when you brush your teeth in the morning, food particles still come out of your teeth after you've spent the night using an electric toothbrush and mouthwash? If you have any of these problems, you need to see a dentist. Not surprisingly, because your teeth aren't cleaned, plaque builds up and leads to chronic periodontitis. Mild chronic periodontitis can be relieved after a dental cleaning, dental cleaning can be done once a year, the first time will be a little painful, the process of washing you will spit out a lot of black pebbles. Severe chronic periodontitis requires subgingival curettage to perform deep cleaning. Before curettage, it is necessary to take films to judge the scope of curettage. Anesthesia will be used in the curettage process without pain and peace of mind.

At the end of the treatment course, bleeding gums, swollen gums and bad breath can be alleviated basically. The dentist will tell you to pay attention to tooth cleaning during the return visit. Besides toothbrush and mouthwash, deep cleaning should be done with a water flosser every day to avoid the recurrence of periodontitis caused by food residue. A paper published in 2020, Shanghai jiaotong university school of medicine, the portable water flosser in patients with gingival inflammation research on the effect of oral health maintenance, also by setting the control group and experimental group, keeping track of surface: six weeks after the result of the experiment using water flosser of plaque index, gingival index of patients with chronic periodontitis, bleeding index and plaque percentage be effectively reduced.

Along with some common questions and misconceptions:

1. Who is not suitable for water flosser?

Water flosser should be used with caution in people with coagulation disorders, hemophiliacs, and those who have just had oral surgery.

2. Can a water flosser replace a toothbrush?

No, toothbrushes are usually used to clean the surface of teeth, as well as some shallow crevices of food particles and plaque. Some of the debris that gets stuck between the teeth needs to be cleaned with a water flosser. Therefore, use a toothbrush, mouthwash, and a tooth punch together.

3. Can the water flosser treat tooth bleeding, periodontitis and dental calculus?

Can't. Encountered tooth bleeding, periodontitis, dental calculus first step should be to see a dentist, remember, is to see a dentist. The main energy of the water flosser is to flush out the food impinged between the teeth or hidden areas. It is mainly used as prevention rather than treatment!!
