Even if you brush your teeth twice a day with a sonic toothbrush, there are still plenty of places where the bristles simply can’t reach. That’s where inflammation, cavities, and bad breath often start.
The solution is simple – an oral irrigator, which uses a stream of water to clean even the most hidden areas.
What Is an Oral Irrigator
- An oral irrigator (also called a water flosser) creates a thin, pulsating stream of water that gently washes away food residue and plaque from between the teeth.
- Unlike dental floss or toothpicks, it’s gentle, doesn’t injure the gums, and can reach under the gumline or around braces.
In short: the toothbrush cleans the teeth, the irrigator cleans between them.
Why You Should Include It in Your Daily Routine
- Removes up to 99% of debris from interdental spaces.
- Prevents gum inflammation and periodontitis.
- Improves gum circulation, making them stronger and more resilient.
- Freshens breath, by eliminating bacteria that cause odor.
- Complements your sonic toothbrush – together they form the perfect team.
How to Use It Properly
- Fill the tank with lukewarm water (you can add a bit of mouthwash for extra freshness).
- Select the right nozzle – standard, orthodontic, or gum care.
- Lean over the sink and position the tip at a 90° angle to your gums.
- Move slowly from tooth to tooth and let the water flow wash away food residue.
- Don’t forget the back teeth – that’s where most plaque tends to build up.
Use the irrigator once a day, ideally in the evening after brushing.
