Water Flosser

A water flosser, also known as an oral irrigator, is a dental care device designed to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria from between teeth and below the gumline using a stream of pressurized water. It is often used as an alternative or supplement to traditional dental floss. Key Features: • Water Jet or Pulse: Delivers a continuous or pulsating stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline. • Reservoir: Holds the water (or mouthwash) that is used during flossing. • Nozzle or Tip: Directs the water stream; often interchangeable for different uses (e.g., orthodontic tip, periodontal tip). • Pressure Settings: Allows adjustment of water pressure to suit user comfort and sensitivity. Benefits: • Gentle on gums: Less abrasive than string floss, ideal for sensitive gums or those with gum disease. • Effective for braces and implants: Reaches areas that string floss may miss. • Improves oral hygiene: Helps reduce plaque, gingivitis, and bleeding gums when used regularly. Common Types: • Countertop Water Flossers: Larger, with a bigger reservoir and more power, ideal for home use. • Cordless/Portable Water Flossers: Battery-operated, compact, great for travel or small bathrooms.
