If you were like many people flossing is probably not your favorite part of the day. Flossing has been proven to be the most effective way to remove all plaque from forming tartar on your teeth.

When you don't remove dental plaque regularly, it will build up between your teeth and down inside your gums. Once this happens, you are on track to developing gum disease. Some serious forms of gum disease are irreversible. Gum disease causes your teeth to Decay to the point that at some point you lose the tooth. Water flossers maybe what makes it possible to keep your teeth for a lifetime because they have shown to be 50% more effective than traditional string floss at reversing the effects of gum disease and improving oral health. If you can maintain a mouth free of plaque, you can keep your teeth for the long term. How Do They WorkThere are many different versions of water flossers but the main idea is you have a tank that you can fill with either water or even mouthwash and you aim the nozzle at your gum line to knock away any plaque and bacteria that has been piling up. By having the ability to shoot a stream of liquid you can reach into crevices and spots that you cannot reach even with a piece of string. There are hardwired models you plug into your wall and they also make battery operated cordless models. They are more expensive than purchasing a roll of floss or floss picks, but studies are showing they are more effective. If you have problems with your oral care or you are worried about it in the future, investing in a water flosser is showing that it is a great investment for your overall oral health. |
