Flossing uses nylon thread, silk thread or polyester thread to clean adjacent dental plaque. When in use, the distance between the two fingers is controlled at about 1- 1.5cm, and the dental floss is placed at the bottom of the gingival sulcus to clean the gingival sulcus area. It can also go deep into the teeth and clean the teeth. However, the strength of dental floss is difficult to control, and too much dental floss will damage the gums. At the same time, it will be more efficient, safer and healthier to use different segments of dental floss to enter different teeth, and always keep dental floss clean and remove adjacent dental plaque.
Tooth washing machine, also known as tooth washing machine or dental floss, mainly has two styles: portable and desktop. And born in 1962, yes, you are right. The tooth washer is still 60 years old, and according to the generation, he is already a grandfather and grandmother. However, the concept of tooth washer has only been hotly discussed in China in recent years, and people don't know much about how to use, benefit and choose a tooth washer. This is also related to our lack of oral care knowledge.
According to the fourth national oral health epidemiological survey report, most people still have some misunderstandings about oral health knowledge and pay little attention to oral health habits in their daily lives. Less than half of people brush their teeth more than twice a day, and nearly half brush their teeth below the standard. Moreover, periodontal diseases, dental caries, halitosis and other oral diseases are common in our population, which need our attention and even find ways to prevent and protect our oral health. Using dental irrigator is one of the good methods to prevent oral diseases.
Why is the tooth washer easy to use?
Tooth washer is an electric oral care tool, which is specially used to clean gums and gums. It mainly impacts teeth and gums through high-pressure water flow or airflow, deeply and effectively removes food residues and dental plaque on the tooth surface, thus improving oral health.
Specifically, it has the following advantages: advantages 1. Deep cleaning: the tooth washer can penetrate into the gap between teeth and the edge of gums, and can clean the bacteria and residues that ordinary manual toothbrushes come into contact with, thus improving the cleanliness of the mouth.
Advantage 2. Prevention of periodontal disease: Using dental irrigator can effectively remove dental plaque and calculus, and reduce the occurrence of periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
Advantage 3. Massage the gums: The water or airflow of the tooth washing machine can stimulate the gums and promote blood circulation.
Advantage 4. Suitable for special circumstances: the tooth washing machine is also very suitable for friends with special circumstances such as orthodontics and dental implants, and can help you clean some details.
In addition, it should be noted that the tooth washer is an oral care tool, which is different from toothbrush and dental floss. Therefore, it is best to combine it with daily brushing to achieve better oral cleaning effect.
Key points of choosing a tooth washer.
1. Multi-nozzle mode and high pulse capacity: The basic function of the tooth washer is to clean food residues and bacteria between teeth by spraying high-pressure water, so the tooth washer with high pulse capacity has stronger cleaning ability. At the same time, the multi-nozzle mode can also meet your different needs and realize multi-purpose of one machine.
2. Pressure control: The water pressure control of the tooth washing machine is a very important factor, because different people's oral acceptance is different. For beginners or friends in dentine hypersensitivity, if the current is too strong at first, it will easily stimulate your gums and cause oral discomfort.
3. Capacity and service time: The capacity of the tooth washer is easily overlooked. If you want to reduce the time and procedures and complete the whole oral cleaning with water at one time, you can choose a tooth washer with larger capacity. And generally speaking, the larger the capacity, the longer the use time and the longer the continuous use time.
4. Cleaning and maintenance of water tank: When choosing a tooth washer, pay attention to the convenience of cleaning and maintenance of water tank and nozzle. Keeping the tooth washer clean and tidy is conducive to preventing scale and bacterial growth.
5. Quality assurance and after-sales service: When purchasing a tooth washer, you can pay attention to the product quality, after-sales service period and whether you have a professional certificate. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of the brand from many aspects to help you make more informed choices.
In addition to the above points, you can also choose your favorite tooth washer according to your personal budget and other needs. Because most people don't know how to buy a tooth washer yet, they only know how to look at the brand and choose the expensive one. As a result, I bought it and found it didn't meet my oral conditions. Either the impact is too great, the teeth are too sensitive and intolerant; Either there is no sterilization function, and the water tank becomes dirty after long-term use, making it difficult to clean. A few hundred dollars and a thousand dollars are gone, and I swear that this money is washed by IQ tax.
