The gap between the teeth is a “dead spot” that cannot be cleaned by brushing. Experts say that it is very necessary to use dental floss to remove the plaque in the teeth. “Many people’s teeth problems start from the gap between the teeth. Once they are broken, two teeth will be damaged. What is worrying is that the use rate of dental floss among Chinese residents is still very low.” Department of Oral Prevention, Beijing Stomatological Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University Director Liu Min said. Can water floss replace regular floss? “The water flosser, also known as the irrigator, sprays a relatively high-pressure water vapor column in a relatively short period of time, thereby flushing away the bacteria on the adjacent surfaces of the teeth in the oral cavity.” Zhao Lei explained, “We are giving When a patient recommends, he will be advised to use a certain combination of dental floss and water floss, so that the cleaning efficiency will be higher.” Liu Min believes that the water floss is more convenient to use, but if the gap between the teeth is very large If it is small, the water flosser may not be able to rush through. When using water flossers, it is also necessary to ensure that every gap between teeth is not missed. “In fact, many people use water flossers carelessly and do not strictly clean every gap between teeth.”
