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’d teeth or a bridge you NEED a water-flosser and you should be using it twice daily before brushing your teeth.

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