Oral Irrigation
Many dentists and dental hygienists promote the usage of oral irrigators in addition to, or as an alternate to dental floss. Some people, who find flossing to be a pain, due to difficulty in maneuvering dental floss, can still benefit from oral irrigation.
Oral irrigators can reach 3-4 mm under the gum line, farther than toothbrushes and floss. And, the jet stream is strong enough to remove all plaque and tartar. The procedure does leave a feeling of cleanliness and freshness, and does disrupt more plaque or bacteria as floss since it cleans deeper.
