Flossing is a proven way to improve your oral
health. Most people should floss at least once
or even twice a day.
3
Making sure to remove food debris and plaque
from between your teeth will help prevent gum
disease and cavities. If you find it hard to use
string floss, then explore other options to keep
up with this important part of your oral hygiene
routine.

Water and air flossers are alternatives to string
floss that both do a great job at removing
plaque. Exploring the differences between the
two can help you make the right choice for your
needs.

Tooth extraction is often necessary to remove a
tooth that is impacted. An impacted tooth is
one that cannot break completely through the gum
line.

What Is an Air Flosser?
6
Air flossers look a lot like an electric
toothbrush. They use pressurized air with a
small amount of water to blow away plaque along
your gum line.

Air flossers are cordless and dont have tubes
like water flossers do. Since they dont need
a large water reservoir, they are easier to stow
away in a drawer when you are through.

How Does a Water Flosser Work?
10
Water flossers also use air to generate pressure,
but they use more water. The extra water helps
to loosen up plaque and wash it away.
11
Dentists sometimes recommend adding special mouth
rinses to the water to treat gum disease. You
might prefer a water flosser if you have stubborn
plaque that needs more power to remove it.
12
Families also tend to like that water flossers
have different colored tips, which can be
swapped out for multiple users.

How Do You Know Which Is Best?
14
Looking at the research is an effective way to
narrow down your options. A recent study showed
that water flossers are 80 more effective for
reducing gingivitis compared to an air flosser.
They were also 70 better for plaque
reduction.
15
Water flossers are especially helpful for
removing plaque on the lingual surface of the
teeth. This surface of your teeth is the area
that is closer to your tongue.
16
Since brushing the back of your teeth can be
challenging, blasting them with water helps to
wash the plaque away. For this area, water
flossers removed two-times more plaque than air
flossing.
17
They further reduced plaque at the gum line by
three-times as much as air flossers. Ultimately,
the best type of flosser is the one that works
for you.
18
Some people prefer the convenience of an air
flosser that can be stashed away in a drawer.
Others need the extra cleaning power of more
pressurized water.

Either way, you should also continue using floss
that removes plaque with more manual friction.
Floss picks and interdental brushes are options
you can use if traditional floss is hard to use.
20
You can alternate using string floss with a
water or air flosser in the morning and evening.
Or, you can do both during the same oral
hygiene routine.
21
We always like to say that theres a solution
for every oral hygiene challenge. Water and air
flossers are great for people with braces,
bridges and closely-spaced teeth.
