Many people believe that if they brush their teeth correctly, a Waterpik is a luxury that seems unnecessary. So why do dentists recommend using a Waterpik alongside a patient’s normal dental hygiene routine? If you are not familiar with Waterpiks, following are some of the many benefits that may actually encourage you to start using a Waterpik.
Many people still find flossing as a chore, even knowing how important it is to one’s dental health. There are also some people that may have mobility or coordination issues that make it difficult to floss. Children especially may never floss without resisting. The ease by which water flossing can be achieved can make flossing a pleasurable task. As an added benefit, water flossing is safe to use and proven more effective than traditional flossing.
Too much plaque can result in bloody, unhealthy gums which, left untreated, can lead to periodontal disease, gum disease, and gingivitis. A Waterpik uses water pressure and pulsations to remove this daily film buildup and maintain healthy gums.
Most of us learned to brush and floss at a young age, yet many people still won’t floss for one reason or another.
