5 Reasons to Add an Electric Oral Flosser for Your Oral Health

Flossing and brushing your teeth are the standard practice for your oral health and hygiene, but a real “game changer” for your oral health may be the addition of an electric oral flosser (often called a water flosser or oral irrigator).  Flossing is one routine that we tend not to do quite as often as we should.  Adding the small powered water device may be the perfect option to ease your dental routine to eliminate plaque build-up, the risk of cavities and even keep your breath smelling fresh.

 Here are 5 Benefits of an Electric Flosser

 1.      Effective Plaque Removal

·         Deeper Cleaning-Water flossers with the pulsating water action can clean hard to reach areas such as tightly spaced teeth or dental appliances.

·         Improves Gum Health-Electric flossers are gentle on the gums, with adjustable settings for comfort.  They help remove food particles and plaque from below the gum line reducing gingivitis and periodontitis.

2.      User Friendly

·         Convenience-Adding the electric flosser to your morning routine can be faster than manual flossing.

·         Ease of Use-It’s easy to use for young and old, especially folks with limited dexterity.

3.      Comprehensive Cleaning

·         Thorough Cleaning- The water flosser’s steady, pulsating jet is effective in flushing out bacteria from deep pockets between teeth and gums.

·         Difficult Areas- The water stream can also cleanse around braces, crowns, dental bridges and appliances.

4.      Aids in Care for Dry Mouth

·         Hydration- For people that suffer from dry mouth, the water flosser helps by providing moisture while cleaning the teeth and gums.

5.      Reduction of Bad Breath

·         Removes Food Debris-Electric flossers thoroughly clean between teeth, the gum line and remove small food particles that can lead to bad breath. A clean fresh mouth is important for confidence and health.

The gentle, thorough cleaning of an electric water flosser offers a effective option for you to maintain a higher level of oral hygiene. Incorporating the new, convenient, complementary dental routine will help you reduce the risk of cavities, gum inflammation while keeping your breath clean and fresh.
