Irrigator

Irrigator

An irrigator is a personal home hygiene item designed for oral care. It provides the highest quality care for teeth and gums. The device is used to clean the interdental space and periodontal folds. Previously, the irrigator was used exclusively in private clinics, but after a while it became available to patients for home use. It has been proven that the use of an irrigator significantly reduces the risk of occurrence and development of diseases: caries, gingivitis, periodontal disease, and so on.

The principle of operation of the irrigator:

Water or a special conditioner is supplied from a special reservoir (container). It is desirable to fill in bottled water, at room temperature. Including saline or antiseptic solution may be suitable. Ordinary tap water may also work if it is not very hard.

Powerful pulsating pressure of water massages the gums and the entire oral cavity, thereby improving blood circulation. The water pressure can be adjusted independently.

The principle of operation of the irrigator:

During the operation of the irrigator, acupressure of the gums occurs, which increases their tone and reduces the likelihood of inflammation. Strong gums better hold the roots of the teeth, preventing them from loosening. At the initial stages of using the device, our hygienists and periodontists recommend not starting with a very powerful pressure, since the gums are not yet accustomed to such manipulations. It is best to gradually increase the pressure so as not to injure them.

The irrigator has different nozzles that set the direction of fluid under pressure in hard-to-reach areas of the oral cavity. In such places (especially in the interdental spaces and the area between the tooth and the gum), food accumulates. It is impossible to thoroughly clean these places with an ordinary toothbrush or floss, therefore, over time, dental deposits mineralize and turn into hard tartar.

Nozzles have a wide range to choose from based on your situation. For example, a standard, non-bristle, curved tubular brush head is fine if you don't have any constructions in your mouth. If you have a bracket system installed, then a nozzle with bristles at the end will suit you. If you have sensitive gums, then the irrigator nozzle made of soft silicone is suitable for you. Thanks to a set of irrigator nozzles, 1 device can serve all family members - it's very convenient.

Tartar leads to: bad breath, swelling and bleeding of the gums, increased sensitivity of the teeth, the rapid development and spread of caries, and even early tooth loss. Therefore, it is so important that your home hygiene is of the highest quality and regular. The irrigator copes with this task perfectly! By the way, the use of an irrigator can significantly reduce visits to the dentist.

The irrigator thoroughly cleans all surfaces of teeth, gums, tongue, interdental space, dentures, braces and so on.

The irrigator is able to effectively remove:

  • Food leftovers
  • Plaque
  • Bacterial contamination

The irrigator must be used in the same way as a toothbrush in the morning and evening. If desired and possible, the device can be used more often, for example, after each meal.

The irrigator should be used immediately after brushing and flossing your teeth.

If you are using the irrigator for the first time, it is best to start with the minimum power.

How to use the irrigator?

First direct the jet of water to the crown of the tooth, then go to the gum pocket. The irrigator must be held in such a way that the jet is directed at an angle of 90 degrees to the surface of the tooth and gum.

The process of cleaning the oral cavity with an irrigator should take at least 4 minutes.
After use, it is recommended to rinse the irrigator, disinfect it and dry its components.
