Why is it important?.. ============= Nothing is more attractive than a beautiful and healthy smile, but taking care of your teeth and gums is more than just looking good....poor oral hygiene can lead to decay, tooth loss and gum disease....so you should floss or water....gum disease can negatively affect heart health....the bacteria that cause gum disease can also enter the bloodstream and target low birth weight..brush your teeth at least twice A day of fluoride toothpaste is a good start, but regular brushing isn't enough to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria from between the teeth. The bristles aren't small enough to effectively clean these tight spaces. That's why interdental cleaning, like flossing, is recommended by the American Dental Association. It's a good idea. Brings you.... Waterpiks: Pros and Cons Waterpik floss is also known as water jet or oral irrigator. The first oral irrigator was invented in 1962 by a dentist in Colorado who was assisted by his patient, a hydraulic engineer. If you prefer to use Waterpik instead of floss: Wear a brace It has a non-removable bridge They have a crown Have dental implants Also, for people with arthritis or those who have difficulty maneuvering and working with filament threads, the Waterpik may be used rather than a standard thread.... What are the benefits?... Fans Easy to use It is located in remote areas Cleans between fully spaced teeth Using the Waterpik will be especially helpful for difficult areas of the mouth, teeth that are spaced apart, and periodontal pockets that can be caused by gum disease....they can also help keep breath fresh, which is an added bonus....the Waterpik is easy to use....some people may experience a learning curve as they figure out the most comfortable possible water temperature and power setting.. on the device and move slowly and gently slide the tip over the gums....for best results it is recommended to start from the back teeth and move towards the front teeth....continue to clean the inner and outer teeth of the upper and lower teeth....this can ensure that the whole mouth is cleaned....what are the disadvantages?...the negatives?. It may not remove all plaques It can be expensive disorderly The action of rinsing the Waterpik may not be enough to completely remove the plaque from the surface of the tooth.... Some people like to floss first to remove and loosen the plaque.... Then the Waterpik can be used to effectively wash away the remaining plaque and plaque.... Waterpik is safe when used with traditional floss and poses no risk except to the wallet.... Flossing: Pros and Cons Flossing is out of fashion but dates back to prehistoric times....it was first published in 1819 by a dentist named Levi Speer Parmeley in his book "A Practical Guide to the Management of Teeth"....floss was officially patented 55 years later by Asahel M....today's floss is...they sell....floss in the 1800's was usually made of unbleached silk...until after the war The second world, when silk was replaced by nylon, did not become popular... Today, dental floss comes in plastic holders called dental floss and you cut it into long strands... You can find dental floss in flavored varieties and as waxed or unwaxed strands.... Who should floss?... Everyone should floss.... Flossing is one of the most important parts of dental hygiene to reduce the risk of gum disease.. Easy control Able to thoroughly clean every tooth Removes bacteria, plaque and food particles from between the teeth... Flossing allows you to remove sticky plaque from each tooth before it becomes tartar... The main advantage of flossing is control... Manual flossing allows you to clean each tooth carefully and cleanly with an up and down motion and maneuver the floss between teeth.... ### What is negative WhatsApp? Access to some areas is not possible It makes your gums bleed Some people may not be able to do it again When you just rely on flossing, it's easy to clean certain areas of the mouth... You may also have trouble getting between teeth that are too close together... If you floss too far below the gum line or too much, the gums can bleed. Both methods are acceptable, as long as you do it carefully, the ADA says, and some people like to avoid flossing. The teeth can then be brushed... A recent study published in the Journal of Periodontology shows that the amount of plaque between the teeth is reduced the most during the first flossing, the second method of brushing. But the ADA and the American Academy of Periodontology recommend brushing and flossing for every purpose of maintaining a healthy smile. It is up to you whether you floss or brush your teeth first. The best dental hygiene routine is usually one that you use, enjoy, and can see yourself using on a daily basis...Many people prefer the control they get from manual flossing..Others rave about the deeply clean feeling they get after using a waterpick...Research has shown that there is less of a difference in plaque removal between flossing and waterpicking. They can also help you determine the best option for you. https://www.healthline.com/health/dental-and-oral-health/waterpik-vs-flossing
