The Oral Irrigator as Part of Your Daily Hygiene – Why and How to Use It

The Oral Irrigator as Part of Your Daily Hygiene – Why and How to Use It

Even if you brush your teeth twice a day with a sonic toothbrush, there are still plenty of places bristles simply can’t reach. And it’s exactly there that inflammation, cavities, and bad breath often start. The solution is simple — an oral irrigator that uses a gentle stream of water to clean even the most hidden areas. 

 

What Is an Oral Irrigator 

  • An oral irrigator (also called a water flosser) produces a thin, pulsating stream of water that gently removes food residue and plaque from between your teeth. 
  • Unlike floss or toothpicks, it’s gentle, won’t injure your gums, and can reach under the gumline or around braces.

In short: the toothbrush cleans your teeth — the irrigator cleans what’s between them. 

Why Make It Part of Your Daily Routine 

  • Removes up to 99% of debris from between teeth. 
  • Prevents gum inflammation and periodontitis. 
  • Improves blood flow in the gums, making them stronger and healthier. 
  • Freshens breath by removing odor-causing bacteria. 
  • Complements your sonic toothbrush — together, they’re the perfect team. 

 

How to Use It Properly 

  1. Fill the tank with lukewarm water (you can add a little mouthwash for extra freshness). 
  2. Select the right nozzle – standard, orthodontic, or gum-care tip. 
  3. Lean over the sink and place the tip at a 90° angle to your gums. 
  4. Move slowly tooth by tooth, letting the stream wash away any residue. 
  5. Don’t forget the back teeth — that’s where plaque builds up most easily. 

Use once a day, ideally in the evening after brushing.

How to Combine with a Toothbrush 

  • Start with the irrigator, then brush. The water stream loosens debris, which the sonic brush removes more easily. 
  • The irrigator replaces dental floss — it’s gentler and simpler. 
  • Twice a day with a sonic brush, once a day with the irrigator is the formula for perfect hygiene.
