Water Flosser Usage Tips
You can buy tips for your Water Flosser for special uses like braces, gum pockets, implants, tongue cleaning, and more.
Here's a closer look at the different types of water flosser tips:
Daily use tip. This tip for everyday use cleans between your teeth and under your gums to help you avoid gum disease.
Orthodontic tip. Designed for people with braces, it helps to get rid of plaque and bacteria from around your braces and teeth.
Plaque removal tip. It targets stubborn plaque around dental work like implants, crowns, and bridges, contacting hard-to-reach areas.
Deep cleaning tip. This tip is for deep cleaning in periodontal pockets.
Tongue cleaning tip. Shaped like a spoon, it removes bacteria from your tongue to keep gum disease from happening.
Toothbrush tip. This tip allows manual toothbrushing with a water flosser attached to the handle.
Implant denture tip. It cleans hard-to-reach areas in fixed implant bridges and dentures.
When using a water flosser for the first time, start with a lower pressure and work your way up to a comfortable setting. You should also use a few short pauses when moving from one tooth to another to allow water to flow from your mouth and into the sink.
