Irrigator - what is it?

In order to maintain oral health, it is necessary to properly care for its hygiene, but a traditional toothbrush is sometimes not enough to properly clean between the teeth, and using floss can irritate more sensitive gums. Those who want to ensure the health of their teeth and mouth should pay attention to the recently appeared on the market alternative to interdental floss - irrigators. Although these devices were invented a long time ago, due to their size they were used only in dentist's offices, but new, much more compact models are becoming increasingly popular for home use.

The importance of interdental cleaning

White plaque, often found on teeth, is formed due to the accumulation of bacteria and food debris between the teeth and on the gums, and can cause a number of oral, dental and gum problems, such as tartar, caries, periodontitis or periodontitis [1]. All of these problems can be easily avoided by properly and effectively cleaning the teeth and interdental spaces and regularly stimulating blood circulation in the gums. It is an oral irrigator that can provide comprehensive dental and gum care and health maintenance.

A dental and oral irrigator is a small device that uses a small pump to generate a narrow, high-pressure water jet that effectively cleans teeth, interdental spaces, and gums. Since the water jet is pulsating and not too strong, it does not damage the gums or tooth enamel, but effectively removes food debris, plaque, and bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease [2]. Although the irrigator is most often used as a teeth cleaning device, it can also be used to massage the gums, thereby strengthening and ensuring their health. Since the price of an irrigator is much more affordable than dental services, purchasing this device is a great investment in oral health.

The dental irrigator is easy to use, so it will be useful for all family members, and thanks to the ability to use various mouthwashes instead of water, excellent dental care is guaranteed.

When is it worth buying an irrigator?

A dental irrigator may be useful in every home, but for some people this device can be extremely useful. Due to its precision and ability to penetrate even the smallest gaps, an irrigator can significantly facilitate the care of orthodontic appliances, when wearing which oral hygiene is extremely important. It is also important to mention that teeth can become very sensitive when wearing permanent orthodontic appliances, so gentle but effective cleaning of teeth with an irrigator significantly reduces the level of possible discomfort and the risk of potential complications caused by food particles remaining in the gaps of the orthodontic appliance [3]. Due to its gentle cleaning, an oral irrigator can also be useful for those wearing dental implants or prosthetic meshes, the care of which requires exceptional precision and care.

An irrigator is worth considering not only for people whose dental care requires special attention due to orthodontic appliances or dentures, but also for anyone who seeks to ensure a high level of oral hygiene. A dental irrigator is a great investment for those with narrow interdental spaces that are difficult to clean with regular floss, or sensitive, bleeding gums that require gentle and thorough care. This device can not only maintain the condition of the gums, but also strengthen them with regular massage with a water jet.
