Visiting a dentist in Singapore is not very cheap. Our dentist bills usually start upwards of over 100 dollars and can go up to a few hundred dollars. Oral health is really important and it is definitely worth investing in good tools to keep our smile a million watts.

We have been using dental floss for many years, but in our recent visit to the dentist, our dentist recommended we use water flossers as they are also very effective in removing food residuals and keeping our oral hygiene healthy. These are seriously game changers and encourage us to floss regularly as they are so simple to use and very effective for removing residues from the teeth.

What are water flossers?

Water flossers, are technically alternatives to dental floss. Water flossers use a steady high-pressure or stream of water to dislodge accumulating food residuals and plaque from areas around your mouth.

They are exceptionally useful for people with braces, or people who had dental work done, that makes it hard for them to floss manually using dental floss. In recent years, they also become popular as water flossers are very useful for cleaning areas in the mouth that are hard to reach.

How to use water flossers?

If this is your first time using a water flosser, you could be intimidated by its design. Water flossers are actually very easy to use. Usually, most water flossers have similar setups. There is a water reservoir for you to fill up with water. You should not use mouthwash to substitute water as it may cause staining.

Thereafter, you can position the tip of the water flosser at close distance at the spaces between your teeth, or areas that need cleaning. You can close or open your mouth while using water flossers.

A simple tip is you should floss before brushing your teeth with toothpaste and toothbrush. This helps to remove most of the food debris stuck between your teeth, and allows a more effective and cleaner brushing with a toothbrush thereafter.
