According to studies done based on oral health in Mexico it has been determined that 9 out of 10 Mexicans have cavities or some disease in the gums, according to the Mexican Social Security Institute. So focus on prevention and the correct methods of oral cleaning.
The use of a suitable brush, toothpaste, rinse and dental floss can be complemented with an oral irrigator.
This has the function of pressurizing water and launching it between the teeth to remove food remains that the brush or thread cannot achieve. Before using it, it is necessary to brush your teeth, cheeks and tongue on a regular basis, and then choose and place a head that is suitable for aiming the irrigator between the teeth and along the gum line.
Although it may sound demanding, this procedure only takes 60 seconds, however, this is not a substitute for flossing or brushing in any way.
The advantage of an oral irrigator is that it not only helps prevent dental diseases, it is also an ideal instrument to maintain a healthy and clean smile.. This resource is a great ally for some people who are undergoing orthodontic treatments, dental prostheses and works such as crowns, bridges and veneers.
Oral irrigators represent important benefits for oral health, being 50% more effective than dental floss, pressurized air and interdental brushes and almost completely removing dental plaque.
On the other hand, we can consider that the misuse of this instrument can cause gum retraction or tooth abrasion, as can be caused by the misuse of a toothbrush. The irrigator with improper use can cause gum injurysuch as a poor orientation of the water jet or a pressure higher than that supported by this tissue of the mouth.
So this resource has to be used on the recommendation of your dentist and he will be the one who explains its use to you correctly to do it without causing injury.
