Introduction
What are the benefits and disadvantages of water flosser? Does it really clean like it stated? What is the difference between a water flosser and regular dental floss? Do we really have to use a water flosser?
These are just some commonly asked questions regarding water flosser and we have prepared this comprehensive guide to assist you to understand more about water flossers and what are the benefits and precautions of it.
Benefits of using water flossers
-
Complementary to toothbrush's cleaning capabilityThe water flosser utilizes the high-frequency water flow with an extremely fine water flow of 0.66mm to clean the gum lines, gaps, and other blind spots that would otherwise be difficult for toothbrush bristles to reach. Most of the time, when people brush their teeth, the toothbrush reaches the surface and neglects the deeper gaps and gum lines, resulting in a build-up of residue and bacteria, which ultimately leads to dental disease. With the combined usage of a water flosser with a toothbrush, it can target the blind spots more effectively and reduce oral diseases.
-
Prevent and reduce inflammation and other dental diseasesWater flossers help to prevent and slow symptoms of inflammation since they can reach deep gaps and gum lines to clean food residue and plaque.
-
The convenience of a portable water flosserWater flossers have a portable model that is small in size and easy to carry, which makes it practical for work and travel. You can always have a quick floss after meals to freshen up your breath while cleaning.
-
Reduce tartarUsing a water flosser effectively reduces bacteria in spots like the gaps and the gum lines, which ultimately help to reduce and prevent the formation of tartar.
-
Braces friendlyFor those who are struggling with braces, you know how difficult it is to clean braces. A water flosser can clean braces and teeth gently without damaging the braces or hurting the teeth. Hence why many dentists recommend using water flossers.
Precautions for using water flossers
-
A water flosser is not suitable for everyoneThe idea behind the operation of a water flosser is to use high-pressure water flows to clean. For those who are currently struggling with severe symptoms of inflammation or loose teeth, we do not recommend using a water flosser to worsen the symptoms. As a reminder, please check your oral health condition or consult a dentist to pick the right water flosser.
-
Things to keep in mind when choosing a water flosserWhen choosing a water flosser, please keep two things in mind: the cleaning power and the comfort level. Some brands are excellent at cleaning but may not be comfortable, so when choosing a water flosser, pay attention to not only the cleaning power and vibration, but also the comfort level. SOOCAS water flosser has all three aspects considered to deliver a well-balanced product.
-
Do not overuse the water flosserHaving a healthy oral condition is a long process, so please refrain from overusing the water flosser. Many people have high expectations for fast whitening or fast plaque removal, which results in over floss. Over-flossing may result in damaging the teeth or gum. When using a water flosser, make sure not to aim the water flow at the same area for a long period of time. Using a water flosser once to twice a day is enough.
Who should not be using water flossers
-
Those with cavities should not be using water flosser since the cavities could be deep inside the teeth and might have already caused over-sensitivity or pain. Please seek professional assistance from a dentist immediately if you have symptoms.
-
Those with gum diseases such as periodontitis or who have already formed periodontal pockets, spaces, or openings surrounding the teeth under the gum line, should not use it. Please seek professional assistance from a dentist immediately if you have symptoms.
-
Those who have sensitive teeth should not use water flosser since sensitivity usually is a symptom of other oral conditions. Please seek professional assistance from a dentist immediately if you have symptoms.
-
Those who have done root canals, dental implants, or other surgical procedures regarding oral health should not use it without guidance from the dentist.
-
Children under the age of 12 should not use water flossers. It is difficult for children to control the high-frequency vibration and could damage the teeth and gum. Please only use it under parental guidance.
-
People that are 60 years or older should not use it since teeth are weaker and less resistant to the high pressure from the water flosser.
