2.The harm of the oral irrigator.
May damage the gums: If you use a poor quality oral irrigator or the power of the oral irrigator is not well controlled (the water is too strong), it will impact the gums, causing bleeding, inflammation, and even becoming weak and atrophy. In addition, long-term improper use of dental irrigators may also cause gum atrophy, and gum atrophy is irreversible.
May wear the teeth: although the teeth are relatively hard, if the impact of the water flow of the oral irrigator is too large or improper use, it may also cause certain wear on the teeth, such as additional wear on the tooth enamel, inducing toothache, tooth sensitivity and other problems.
Affect the balance of oral flora: Some scholars believe that the high-speed water flow during the use of dental flusher will take away a large amount of saliva, destroy the balance of oral mucosa and oral flora, and affect oral health. However, normal diet and brushing teeth will also take away saliva, as long as the moderate use of teeth flusher, it will not cause too serious consequences.
Aggravating oral diseases (when using unprofessional products) : If unprofessional oral irrigator is used, it may over-stimulate the oral patient for the basic oral disease, leading to deterioration of the condition, and may also cause chronic tooth damage with strong concealment and long process, which is irreversible.
3.Whether the oral irrigator can be used every day?
The oral irrigator can be used daily. And you can use it every time you brush your teeth, so you can keep the food debris in the gum triangle space clean, so that the gum will not press on the gum and cause the gum to shrink. After brushing every day, or after eating, use the dental flusher to remove food debris and soft dirt in the tooth space, which can ensure that the adjacent space is clean, keep the gums of the teeth healthy, reduce the bleeding of the gums, and keep the cleanliness around the teeth, which is conducive to the maintenance of periodontal health. However, it should be noted that it is not recommended to use multiple times a day, otherwise it is easy to damage the gums, or have a certain impact on the gums. At the same time, rinse the teeth after each use to avoid breeding bacteria.
