How To Use a Water Flosser?

Using a water flosser before brushing and flossing can loosen leftover food, making it easier to remove later using string floss. Used after brushing and flossing, a water flosser can wash away remaining food in hard-to-reach places. They’re very easy to use. Just follow these simple steps:

- Supply the water source - This may mean connecting it to the water tap or filling the reservoir with lukewarm water.

- Placement - Place the nozzle in your mouth and, starting with your molars, hold the irrigator away from your teeth and gums rather than directly against them. You may want to lean over the sink now, so you don’t splash water on your countertop when you turn it on.

- Select pressure setting and turn on - There will be either an on-button or a dial that adjusts the water pressure. Start with the lowest pressure setting and work your way up. Make sure the pressure is high but comfortable. You can close your lips to prevent the water splashing, but be sure to allow the water to drain out into the sink.

- Follow gum line - Going tooth-by-tooth, direct the water at your gum line and areas between teeth. Aim for the top of the tooth, baseline of the gum, and the space between each tooth. Hold the water over each tooth for about two seconds, repeating the process on the inside and outside of your teeth until your whole mouth is treated. It should take you about two minutes to complete.

- Empty the reservoir - Once you’re done, turn off the device, remove the nozzle and drain the remaining water. Leaving stale water in your reservoir can cause bacteria to grow.

- Clean your device - Remember to rinse your water flosser’s reservoir after every session, to ensure it is hygienic.
