The dangers of water flossers

Water flossers are also called tooth washers. Currently, there are a lot of mixed products of this type on the market, including high-end ones and low-quality ones. If you use a low-quality water flosser, it will not only fail to protect your teeth, but will cause great harm to them. Some water flossers cannot remove dental plaque, and frequent use can easily lead to oral bacterial imbalance, which is quite harmful.

The dangers of water flossers

As mentioned earlier, using inferior teeth cleaning products is likely to cause gum atrophy, so we must be very careful in choosing brands. Currently, the more well-known teeth cleaning brands in China are XNUO and Clean-Bi. Both brands are American brands and are relatively similar in quality reputation.

As a medical technology company, Xinnuo manufactures all its products in accordance with medical standards and passes extremely stringent factory inspections. It is a brand of oral irrigators that is highly recommended by American dentists. Because Clean-Bi entered China relatively early, it has a certain reputation.

Rumor 1: Toothbrush can remove dental calculus

Many patients with tartar buy water flossers for this reason, which is also the effect boasted by many merchants. Although water flossers can prevent the formation of tartar, they cannot remove the tartar that has already formed. If you want to completely cure it, you must go to a regular dental clinic for treatment. However, water flossers can indeed help improve tartar and prevent the formation of tartar.

Rumor 2: You can use the dental rinser frequently

Don't think that saliva is useless. In fact, it is more beneficial to the human body than blood. Although the oral irrigator can remove bacteria in the mouth very well, its high-impact water column will also cause us to lose a lot of saliva while cleaning. So when using the oral irrigator, do not overuse it, just do it for basic cleaning.

Rumor 3: Tooth washer can replace brushing teeth

Many businesses also claim that the water filter can replace the toothbrush, causing consumers to stop using the toothbrush after using the water filter. This is incorrect. The dental plaque inside the teeth is the main substance we remove when brushing our teeth. It is also the cause of tartar. If it is not cleaned for a long time, tartar will form over time, eventually leading to gum atrophy and tooth loss. Dental plaque must be removed by physical friction, which is brushing. Therefore, the water column from the water washer cannot wash away dental plaque, so please note this.

Myth 4: As long as you can use water jets, you can maintain oral health

There are many third-party products on the market, and they are very diverse. Even when looking at water flossers, you have to choose the brand. If you use inferior water flossers, long-term use will lead to gum atrophy! This is very important. Everyone must remember that once gum recession occurs, it is irreversible and there is no way to remedy the situation. Therefore, when buying a dental cleaning product, you must choose a good dental cleaning product.
