Are Water Flossers Effective?

Water flossers, or oral irrigators, use a pressurized stream of water to clean teeth and gums, but do water flossers really work when it comes to your oral health? When combined with a complete, daily oral hygiene routine, a water flosser can help reduce plaque buildup and remove more food particles that can get trapped in tight spaces. The  Oral-B Water Flosser Advanced is dentist-inspired to deep clean and detoxify below the gum line* as it targets and helps eliminate plaque bacteria for healthier gums and cleaner teeth.

Are Water Flossers a Replacement for Standard Dental Floss?

Water flossers are generally effective at reducing plaque buildup; however,  they should not replace regular daily flossing. Rather, the two should be used together to ensure you get a more complete clean.

What are the Benefits of the Oral-B Water Flosser?

When part of a complete oral care routine, a water flosser, like the  Oral-B Water Flosser Advanced, can help wash away leftover food debris and reduce plaque buildup from hard-to-reach areas in the mouth. Unlike other irrigator options, the Oral-B Water Flosser Advanced features unique Oxyjet Technology to target and help eliminate plaque bacteria for healthier gums. Plus, it includes three customizable streams and intensity modes for a more personalized clean while delivering a mess-free experience.
