Donā€™t hide your Hollywood smileā€¦ From the irrigator.

What is a mouth irrigator?? We conducted a brief survey of relatives and friends and made sure that only one person in twenty knows or at least approximates what it is. But the worst part is this: the other nineteen are our parents and grandparents, who especially need this very irrigator.

ā€œPrevention of oral diseases is, first and foremost, hygiene,ā€ believes our expert Vahagn Grigoryan. ā€“ A distinction is made between professional hygiene, which includes the removal of tartar and plaque ā€“ this is done at the doctorā€™s appointment. The hygiene that we do ourselves is called personal hygiene.

I would like to draw your attention to a very effective and easy to use means of personal hygiene ā€“ irrigator. In most cases, caries affects those areas of the tooth that are the least hygienic, in other words, hard-to-reach places.

This area includes, above all, the interdental spaces. Irrigator is preferable even to cleaning the interdental spaces with dental floss, as they are uncomfortable to use and very often traumatize the gum, and this can cause inflammation.

What is an irrigator??

For self-care

It is a device, which under pressure delivers a stream of liquid and this liquid can be both usual water and any other rinse fluid chosen according to taste and purpose . The pressure, which is determined by the head of the jet, is adjustable. Typically, the first one or two divisions of the adjustment are for massaging the gums: there is a weak pulsating jet.

The gum massage function is also very important preventive because this procedure improves blood circulation, and poor circulation always accompanies inflammatory processes or is the cause of inflammation. The jet is more forceful, flushing out the interdental spaces from food debris.

Irrigators are ideal for oral hygiene around implants, crowns and bridges. Irrigator jet perfectly copes with cleaning of the gum pocket around the implant, the space between the gums and the bridge span, which is a prerequisite for the longevity of construction, and in this, too, he has no competitors.

Irrigators are indispensable for orthodontic patients with braces. Naturally, wearing braces and plates makes oral hygiene very difficult, which often leads to a lot of tooth decay.

As an alternative, there are special brushes for oral care with bridges or braces, but they are not very convenient to use, and they, like dental floss, traumatize the gum.

An irrigator is completely atraumatic in this sense. But, of course, you should know that too strong a jet can also traumatize the gum, so the most powerful modes should not be used without special recommendations.

During the first few days of use, the irrigator can cause bleeding gums, especially if they are inflamed. Do not get upset and stop using the device ā€“ these phenomena will pass. At our clinic, we recommend the irrigator as an excellent means of hygiene and prevention of dental caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease to all patients.

Solutions and liquids for irrigators

Most manufacturers of devices also produce and recommend the use of special compounds that should be added to the water when using the device. The idea is clear: the water everywhere is different ā€“ clean and not too clean, but the constant use of antimicrobial agents and these contain all these solutions, mainly chlorhexidine or myramistine without a doctorā€™s prescription should not.

Some fluids contain fluoride and are positioned as preventive against tooth decay ā€“ again, consult a specialist before using them. Many people see an alternative in the use of herbal infusions, but they categorically do not recommend the use of manufacturers of devices: even microscopic particles of grass fibers can clog nozzles and hoses and adversely affect the quality of irrigator.

If you want to wash your mouth cavity instead of using antiseptics, use filtered or bottled you can even use mineral water . But in this case do not forget to regularly rinse and sometimes disinfect the reservoir of the device.

The least smiling nation

WaterPik

When a Soviet citizen traveled to Europe or America for the first time, she used to get a lot of impressions: some were amazed by the hundreds of kinds of salami in a store, some ā€“ by the cleanliness of the streets and yards, others ā€“ by the abundance of Mercedes and Pontiacs. But everybody said with one voice that people abroad are somehow different.

Turns out they, unlike us, smile a lot. For no reason. To herself, to friends, to sales clerks, to strangers on the streetā€¦ Psychologists argue that this is from the greater inner freedom, looseness, and self-confidence of Americans. Itā€™s hard to disagree with this, but there is another factor ā€“ medical.

Only now our dentistry is gradually approaching that level of treatment and prevention, which has long been the standard for most of Western Europe, the United States, Canada, Australia. Who would want to smile without teeth??

Healthy teeth and gums are one of the most important indicators of quality of life. Oral health is directly related to our daily and vital physiological and psychological activities.

With diseases of the gums and teeth a lot of inconvenience brought almost every meal, out of nowhere appear defects of speech, and a big smile is replaced by a forced seriousness.

But even with courage and after the teeth treatment we do not know how to maintain the result ā€“ so underdeveloped is the culture of oral care in our country so far.
