Water flossers

Not every person needs a water flosser, but some patients absolutely do. If you have gum disease (actively bleeding gums), braces, an implant, root-canal-treated teeth, or a bridge, you NEED a water flosser, and you should use it twice daily before brushing your teeth.

Water flossers blast out plaque and harmful bacteria that thrive in the deeper pockets and voids created by gum disease, as well as in the areas around implants and bridges. I cannot emphasize enough how important this holistic approach to controlling gum disease is!
