Pros and Cons of Water Flossers

A water flosser is a modern device developed for thorough dental cleaning at home, and is what dental places like Clarkson Dental have used for years. While flossing conventionally means the moving of a thin piece of thread in the small gap between the teeth to remove any food residues stuck in the gap, water flossers do the same with a thin and strong jet of water, leaving the surface of your teeth as well as the gaps between adjacent teeth clean and free from residues. Like any dental cleaning solution, water flossing has pros as well as cons – here are some things that you should know about:
-The most important con: bulkiness – water flossers consist of a water reservoir, a motor with a pump and a flosser tip. As opposed to conventional floss, that can be taken anywhere, dental flossing appliances are quite bulky, therefore they cannot fit into your handbag;
-The pros – many people prefer water flossing to conventional string because they find the process easier and more comfortable. Using a jet of water for the cleaning is also safer for sensitive gums and prevents any cuts. The gentle, but efficient process of water flossing is also more suitable for cleaning braced teeth, crowns and bridges and the appliance is easier to use for people who suffer from dexterity problems, such as for arthritis sufferers.
