The article discusses the benefits of water flossers as a convenient alternative to traditional flossing for maintaining oral hygiene. While many people know they should be flossing, it is often skipped due to discomfort or difficulty. Water flossers provide an accessible way to clean between teeth without the pain associated with string floss. According to Dr. Johannes Jacobs, they are particularly helpful for patients with braces or dexterity issues. The piece emphasizes that while water flossers may not completely replace traditional floss, they serve as a viable option for those who find traditional methods challenging.
Using floss between my pre-braces teeth was easy, but ultimately pointless... With all the gaps closed, that's no longer the case, and my water flosser has become a welcome part of my dental routine.
Patients who struggle with traditional flossing routines often do far better with water flossers, and their gum health improves noticeably.
The water flosser doesn't provide the scraping action that traditional string floss does, but what it offers in return is accessibility and comfort.
A water flosser is easy to use, even for kids and older adults. That's why I often recommend it... as a realistic alternative for those who aren't flossing at all.
