Module summary:
Incorporating interdental and below-the-gumline cleaning into your daily oral care routine can significantly enhance dental health. However, many individuals remain unaware of this, often believing that brushing twice a day is enough to maintain healthy teeth and gums. Some may understand the importance but struggle to clean those hard-to-reach areas using traditional floss or interdental brushes. This review explores how water flossers offer a practical solution for thorough oral hygiene and highlights clinical evidence that demonstrates their effectiveness compared to conventional methods.
After taking our latest CPD module on water flossing, you should:
- Be aware of the oral health benefits of water flossing, including its role in reducing plaque and improving gum health.
- Learn how water flossers compare with traditional dental floss and interdental brushes in terms of effectiveness and ease of use.
- Understand the advantages of water flossing for patients with specific oral hygiene challenges, such as those with braces, implants, or limited dexterity.
- Gain insights into how to advise patients on incorporating water flossing into their daily oral care routine, helping them make informed decisions based on their individual needs.
