Keep your gums in tip-top condition with one of the best water flossers

Water flossers are a great alternative solution to traditional flossing, which – as we all know – tends to be rather unpleasant. Thankfully, many of the best water flossers can entirely replace things like string floss, toothpicks and interdental brushes, helping minimise the need for extra dental work at the hygienist’s office (shudder).

Any dentist will tell you that flossing should be just as important as brushing your teeth. And just like other dental products such as toothbrushes, toothpastes and mouthwashes, there are plenty of models of water flossers designed with extra features and water jet settings to suit everyone’s individual needs. So regardless of whether you have sensitive teeth or sensitive gums, you can rest easy knowing that you can take care of your oral hygiene completely pain-free.

For example, devices such as the Waterpik Cordless Plus Water Flosser and the Waterpik Cordless Advanced Water Flosser have classic jet tips and water streams that are suitable for anyone who has braces, implants and veneers, while many other options can even be used to treat mild cases of gum disease. The best part is that all of them are incredibly easy to use and don’t require much dexterity.
