A water flosser using
warm water, the jet tip and the
pulsating action of the device will provide a gentle flushing out of food and
debris. This is going to do a couple of important things for you.
One, your tissue is going to start heal and become less sensitive. This will allow you to brush more effectively, or add a power toothbrush.

There should be a
significant reduction in both bleeding and gingivitis. Not only will the water
flosser be able to flush out food and debris in areas nearly inaccessible to
other self-care devices, it will reduce plaque and keep gingivitis at bay.
In a recent study those who used the water flosser removed three times as much
plaque as those who used string floss and five times as much as those who only used
a toothbrush.
The water flosser users also had a better reduction in bleeding, 26% better than floss, and 53% better than brushing alone.
