Useful or harmful oral irrigator

Thanks to the rapid development of medical technology, the world is regularly updated with new medical equipment and various innovative devices. One of these devices is irrigator. But due to the fact that humanity is very wary of everything new and unknown, immediately there was talk about the harm and benefits of its use.

Most people who first heard about this device, imagine something amazing, akin to laser swords from Star Wars. I am glad that such people become less and less every year.

The irrigator is a special device designed to care for the oral cavity. Thanks to him, it turns out much more thoroughly to clean the teeth and gums.

The device has a special container for the liquid, from where it comes under pressure. Many instruments provide the opportunity to control the pressure.

Why and who should use it?

In fact, the irrigator can be used not only as a prophylactic agent to care for the oral cavity, but also as a treatment for various diseases. In this case, a special treating liquid with certain properties is poured into the water tank.

Regular use of such a device at home reduces the likelihood of various diseases of the oral cavity, including caries. Mouth Irrigation increases the service life of crowns and fillings. The device is much better copes with cleaning teeth from germs, food particles and plaque, rather than a toothbrush and floss.

Despite the fact that there are no contraindications for use, you should still consult with a specialist and use the device only in accordance with all points of the instruction.

To achieve the optimal preventive effect, it is recommended to use the device. at least 3 times a week. But in the case of serious diseases such as periodontitis, etc., more frequent, perhaps even daily use will be required.

Therapeutic effect

As already mentioned, instead of an ordinary liquid, you can (and in some cases even need) add different medical solutions to the tank. Often add:

• furatsilin;
• rinses against bacteria;
• chlorhexidine;
• calendula;
• different decoctions;
• chlorophyllipt.

You can add anything, but at the direction of the attending physician. The systematic use of irrigator helps to combat various ailments of the oral cavity. The effect is very effective, as the jet of liquid under pressure leaves no chance for the development of pathogenic bacteria.

Opinion of experts about the benefits and dangers of the device

Experts have found that the irrigator should be chosen very carefully, because only with the right treatment and the choice of the optimal model, you can guarantee complete safety. The device is able to completely eliminate the problems associated with inflammatory processes and bleeding gums.

In modern dental clinics it is very often possible to meet an irrigator. Now it’s worth answering the question to yourself: will a professional risk his reputation because of the possibility of causing even the slightest harm to the patient? Naturally not.That is why you should not worry about talking about the possibility of harming the teeth and oral cavity.

Dentists recommend buying this device:

• people suffering from diabetes;
• as a treatment for periodontitis and gingivitis;
• during pregnancy;
• as caries prevention;
• for the care of braces, crowns, etc .;
• to eliminate unpleasant odors;
• for better hygiene;
• with some features of the structure of the teeth.

Thus, we can confidently say that the effect of the irrigator is only benefit, the main thing is to choose the right drugs.

How not to harm?

When advertising any product, the manufacturer is trying to apply a lot of marketing tricks. This is done in order to make their products indispensable. It is recommended to apply the shampoo twice, and after applying the cream to use an absorbent mask, etc. A similar situation is with the irrigator, but in this case the opposite effect may occur.

Almost all manufacturers recommend use irrigator every day, like a toothbrush. In fact, it is enough to use it 3 times a week..

In that case, if you start to process the oral cavity daily and for longer than 15 minutes, then you can not strengthen the teeth, but increase their sensitivity, and bleeding is possible in the damaged areas and soft tissues.

Separately, I would like to mention the manufacturers of solutions for the device, which also argue that without their antibacterial agents it is impossible to get any positive effect. This is not entirely true. Indeed, in some cases, instead of water, it is necessary to use a certain solution, but the cleansing of the oral cavity can be carried out with the most ordinary water.

Pay attention to some "economical innovations" that are offered by irrigator manufacturers. Take, for example, a special nozzle that is put directly on the tap with water. It is an ordinary tube with a nozzle. Naturally, such a device does not have any effect; it only provides a high pressure to the jet, which is absent in the water faucet itself. Moreover, for irrigation it is necessary to use purified or at least boiled water, and not from the tap. So in this nozzle is not necessary.

By following the instructions, reading the reviews and tracking the response of your body to the use of the irrigator, you can only bring yourself benefit, not harm.
