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.

It’s Best As A Supplement

You will pretty much always need to floss between teeth with dental floss in some manner. However, this product may help you as a supplement, ensuring you’re getting your smile extraordinarily clean.

If you are interested in a water flosser primarily because you’re having trouble flossing due to physical discomfort or limitations, let us know right away! There are many ways to work around this concern, so you can feel confident that you’re protecting your gums without sacrificing your comfort.
