Water flosser or traditional floss… which is better? 🦷

The good news is that both can play an important role in a healthy oral hygiene routine. Traditional floss helps physically remove plaque between teeth, while water flossers can be especially helpful for patients with braces, dental implants, sensitive gums, or difficulty using string floss.

🔑🪥 The most important part is consistency.

Waterpik and flossing both reach plaque-brushing misses. Waterpiks can benefit people with braces or arthritis, but floss offers traditional thoroughness.
