Wave Water Flosser FAQs
What is a water flosser and how does it work?
A water flosser is a dental hygiene device that uses a stream of pulsating water to remove food particles, plaque, and bacteria between your teeth and along the gumline. It works by delivering a pressurized water jet that helps clean hard-to-reach areas, making it an effective alternative or complement to traditional string floss.
Is a water flosser as effective as traditional flossing?
Yes, a water flosser can be just as effective, if not more, compared to a traditional floss for removing plaque and debris, especially for people with braces, implants, or other dental work that makes regular flossing more difficult. Studies have shown that water flossers can help improve gum health, reduce bleeding, and remove plaque buildup.
How often should I use a water flosser?
For optimal oral health, it’s recommended to use a water flosser once a day, preferably in the morning after brushing your teeth. Regular use helps remove plaque, prevent gum disease, and maintain overall oral hygiene.
Is a water flosser safe for people with braces or sensitive gums?
Yes, water flossers are generally safe and beneficial for people with braces, implants, crowns, or sensitive gums. The gentle pulsating water can help clean around braces and other dental appliances without causing irritation. Wave comes with a specific pulsating massage mode for effective cleaning in all such situations.
Are there any cautionary guidelines for the use of the Wave Water Flosser?
The Wave Water Flosser is not suitable for use by children under 6 years of age. Ensure the device is not charged for more than 4 hours to maintain optimal performance and safety.
