While flossing your teeth is a basic dental routine, tests discovered that some brands of dental floss are coated in chemicals that can harm your health.
I use an electric toothbrush with sonic technology along with an oral irrigator for my teeth because it removes more plaque and an oral irrigator.
The oral irrigator is an ideal device for daily cleaning your teeth and mouth. It is the ideal complement to sonic electric brushing. It works by directing a jet of pressurized water towards the gums that, when washed, eliminates food remains and accumulated bacterial plaque, accessing areas that cannot be achieved with the brush and obtaining excellent results.
It can be used after brushing and flossing, as the brush cleans, the irrigator extracts debris and polishes, and the floss perfects the cleaning. The irrigator has different nozzles for different types of work and pressure, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs and characteristics.
Together they are the ideal couple for:
1) Reduce the level of bacterial plaque on the teeth, which can prevent cavities and dental tartar.
2) Allow the gums to be gently massaged, reducing inflammation and bleeding.
3) Eliminate bad breath.
4) Remove stains from the surface of your teeth, making them look whiter and healthier for a radiant smile.
5) They are ideal if you use orthodontic appliances or implants and crowns, as they allow you to achieve a complete cleaning.
6) Improve the cleaning of periodontal pockets-
7) They are easy to use by anyone of any age.
8) They have no contraindications, not even due to age. However, if you suffer from a significant dental problem, it is healthy to consult your dentist first to verify that the use of the irrigator will benefit you.
The market offers you a variety of models according to your needs. Some are portable, with microbubbles, others with various nozzles according to your dental problem, others with pressure control and water tanks of different sizes, among many other benefits. Years ago it was only used in the dental office, but now they are easily available on the market to take home.
In sonic technology, the electric toothbrush emits high-frequency acoustic vibrations (between 260-500 Hz) caused by the horizontal vibration of the filaments at a speed of between 16,000 and 45,000 movements per minute, compared to 300 movements per minute. that a manual brush can generate during brushing.
Sonic brushes have two cleaning mechanisms: the mechanical one and another based on said technology:
1) Mechanical cleaning. This is its main action. Cleaning is achieved thanks to the mechanical action carried out by the filaments, which vibrate at high frequency on the surface of the tooth, which helps to eliminate dental plaque or biofilm.
2) Acoustic and hydrodynamic vibration. The high speed with which the filaments vibrate emits acoustic waves. These waves and their associated energy are transmitted through saliva throughout the oral cavity, exerting pressure fields that disorganize the biofilm and prevent its adhesion, even beyond where the filaments reach. This action occurs even without direct contact of the brush filaments with the tooth at a distance of up to three millimeters. In addition, due to the vibrating movement, certain amounts of air are introduced into the saliva, which generates tiny bubbles that are propelled towards the areas where plaque accumulates. These bubbles are rich in oxygen and, by accessing subgingival areas, with a low presence of oxygen, they expose anaerobic colonies to an increase in oxygen concentration (an unfavorable environment for their growth). Fluid dynamics is capable of altering dental plaque in hard-to-reach areas, such as between teeth or below the gum line(2).
In this way, the basic advantage of sonic brushing over other technologies is that it adds a fluid dynamic action to the action of conventional mechanical cleaning (friction).
