An oral irrigator should be an essential part of your dental care kit!

Wondering why?

Here are some advantages:

• It's easy to use;

• Reduces gum bleeding, inflammation, and plaque buildup;

• Cleans interdental spaces and proximal surfaces, and sanitizes subgingival areas. There are hard-to-reach places where bacteria accumulate that can't be removed with just a toothbrush, dental floss, or antimicrobial agents;

• Prevents bad breath and certain diseases;

• Stimulates the gums – like a massage for the gums thanks to the water jet;

• Increases the lifespan of implants;

• It's an effective solution for cleaning teeth for patients with braces, dental implants, fixed or removable dentures, or for elderly individuals who may lack the dexterity needed for proper oral hygiene, etc.

Most importantly, if you use a mouth irrigator, you don’t need to use dental floss (many patients misuse it, traumatizing their gums and causing dental problems).

According to several studies, oral irrigators reduce the risk of gingivitis and periodontitis. A study conducted by the University of Nebraska (USA) on 105 subjects found that irrigators and electric toothbrushes were nearly twice as effective as brushing and flossing in reducing bleeding
