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