I've pointed out the importance of flossing in recent blog posts. Flossing keeps cavities from forming between teeth as we as keeps bone loss and gum inflammation(gingivitis) from occurring. Some individuals need extra help flossing from lack of ability to clean adequately. Some people love flossing aides such as Reach's Flosser or Plackers that are very portable. Electric flossers are used primarily at home in front of your sink. They use a stream of water to flush debris from between teeth much like a water gun could. Being either a/c powered or battery powered gives the user the ability to push a button making flossing much easier. Waterpik is a classic example. Typically, Waterpiks come with a high pressure and a low pressure tip for the user's preference. Waterpiks work well under dental bridges or around teeth that have significant bone loss. If you have any more questions about a Waterpik or about improving your oral health and scheduling a regular checkup, please give us a call or visit our website at the link below.
