Grooming -- 5 days ago
It's an age old fact that we all ought to be flossing, and not just reaching for the tooth brush, but does anyone actually get down with those thin and fussy cords every morning and night like the dentist suggests? Probably not.
It's fortunate, then, that water flossers were invented. A lot easier to use than traditional floss, water flossers provide a decent interdental clean. One that almost rivals the dentist's chair. A water flosser works by projecting water from the flosser tip at your gum line and between your teeth, whereby the combination of pressure and pulsations cleans away plaque and food debris. In short, adding a water flosser to your brushing routine can really help you out in achieving a healthier tooth game, as well as a shinier one.
That said, not all water flossers are up to the job and some just cause a leaky spill on your bathroom floor, rather than a glowing mouth. Below are the best water flossers we've been using lately...
With three operating modes - Gentle, Clean and Pulse - Spotlight's water flosser uses a Hydro Gravity Ball for a 360 degree cleaning experience. It banishes plaque, targets bacteria, and even stimulates gum circulation for an all round healthy mouth. It's an easy-to-use gadget that will make your mornings easier.
One of the most advanced water flossers out there, Philips' gadget incorporates a unique X-shaped nozzle to create four wide streams of water to remove up to 99.9 per cent of plaque in treated areas. The Quad Stream covers up to nine times more surface area and requires less technique than a single stream nozzle.
Waterpik specialises in creating flosser, so you can guarantee that this one is good. Using a steady jet stream it massages and stimulates gums to improve circulation and keep them strong and healthy, as well as target plaque build up. It features a dual pressure control system with a low setting for sensitive gums, and a higher, more powerful setting for deep cleaning.
Perhaps the best water flosser out there right now, the Ordo Hydro Sonic Water Flosser gives a seriously effective clean. It uses the power of hydro-kinetic technology and 2000 water pulsations per minute to blast away plaque and food from between teeth and along the gum line.
