An oral irrigator looks similar to this:
It usually has a reservoir, where you place the water. It has a pump inside. They usually have a power adjustment knob, for individual comfort levels.How They Help
I think you may be able to easily imagine how a gentle stream of water against the teeth can help to clear away debris and food particles.
For example: Many people are surprised to find that even directly after regular brushing and flossing, using an oral irrigator somehow seems to dislodge food particles that were 'hidden' before.
I have experienced this myself many times and I am still surprised that this happens. Sometimes it is a significant amount.
You can probably imagine that getting those extra hidden particles helps your saliva to do the job of strengthening the teeth and cleaning the mouth. Particles can get in the way of that natural process.
Helping To Reduce Plaquing
Studies seem to indicate that using an oral irrigator can help to reduce above-the-gumline plaquing between office visits. That's important because under the plaque is where the 'bad bacteria' find a great home to build large colonies.They like the no oxygen environment. These anaerobes are need limited oxygen in order to secrete their acidic acids that attack our teeth and gums.
Clearly, keeping plaque down to a minimum is going to help protect your dental health.
More Power
While this is good, there is something even better. The Hydro Floss oral irrigator has been shown in two peer reviewed published articles (Journal of Clinical Periodontology - May 1993 and April 1998) to reduce plaquing nearly twice as well as regular oral irrigators.The reason for this is due to the magnet that the Hydro Floss uses.
