Yes, It’s Good For You!
First things first, the answer regarding whether a water flosser is beneficial for your gum health is yes! When you use this powerful stream of water, you gently and effectively remove additional plaque and debris from your smile, while you massage your gum tissue. Of course, protecting your gums from inflammation and infection is primarily about keeping the space between teeth and just beneath your gumline as free from buildup as possible.
