Many people have heard of the existence of such a dentifrice as an irrigator for the oral cavity, but it is concrete, and how it works, very few people know.Today, we will talk about the principle of irrigators for the oral cavity and how to apply them correctly.You will learn how to choose the right device for cleaning your teeth and get acquainted with reviews about it by dentists and ordinary users.

What to look for when choosing an irrigator

Irrigator for teeth and mouth is a special device that forms a water thin jet, and it, under pressure, launches the spaces between the teeth from plaque and food residues.It is also used for the purification of parodontal pockets.

Models of irrigators for teeth and oral cavity are different, for example:

• have a pulsating effect;
• be equipped with air microbubbles;
• or have a conventional monostery.

If you have decided to purchase a special device for cleaning your teeth and oral cavity, be sure to pay attention to what kind of cleaning technology for a particular model, and also whether there is a service center for the manufacturer of the unit in your city or locality.

The irrigator based on the monostructure represents the presence of a constant thin water jet, this technology is not very effective by modern standards, the rest of the cleaning technologies are more advanced in this respect.

Another technology is the irrigator based on a pulsating jet.The pulsations of water are quite short and almost imperceptible.Pulsation is a micro-hydraulic shock, thanks to which you can quickly and successfully remove the remains of food from the teeth and plaque.When using a mono-jet irrigator, this effect can not be achieved.

The most modern and effective kind of irrigators for teeth and oral cavity is an irrigator based on microbubbles, it allows mixing airflow with air bubbles.The water jet eventually consists of a huge number of microbubbles, which in turn create micro-hydraulic impacts during the explosion, and this effectively removes the plaque on the teeth and the remains of food.

In addition, thanks to this technology, water is saturated with oxygen and has an excellent effect on harmful bacteria, which is very important in the treatment of the same periodontal pockets.

Nozzles for irrigators

Many irrigators are equipped with universal nozzles for cleaning teeth and oral cavity, and some are sold complete with replaceable nozzles, which are used for the following purposes:

• nozzles for cleaning the tongue;
• for washing periodontal canals;
• for cleaning structures like brackets;
• cleaning agents for crowns and bridges;
• nozzles for cleaning dental implants;
• nozzles for washing the nasal cavity, which is quite effective in rhinitis and sinusitis.

Also if the family is large and for each of its members needs its own nozzle for the irrigator, there are kits with different color indicators that will let you distinguish from the color so that no one confuses its nozzle with a stranger.

When selecting an irrigator, it is worthwhile to pay attention to the water jet pressure regulator, it is needed so that when using you have the opportunity to start using the device, starting with a small head, and then gradually increase it.In addition, thanks to the low pressure, the irrigator becomes more convenient for use by children and those who suffer from inflammation of the gums, so as not to damage them and not to provoke bleeding.

Features of portable models

If you spend most of your time away from home, it is best to choose the portable and compact model of the irrigator for teeth.However, these models, despite their compactness, serve less than conventional ones and have a small water tank, as well as fewer settings and controls.Portable irrigators are produced by such brands as:

• Donfeel;
• Panasonic;
• Waterpik and others.

If you need an irrigator for home use, it is better not to purchase a portable model.Yes, and in general, before you decide on a particular model, read reviews of users on the Internet, take an interest in reviews of your dentist and the opinion of those who have already acquired it.

Earlier it was mentioned that when buying an irrigator of a brand, you should pay attention to whether has a specialized service center in your city.The fact is that if you purchased the unit via the Internet and you received the defective goods, you can replace it with the service center or send it back at your expense, but it will take time and money.In addition, the service will help you with the breakdown of the irrigator, since the usual service centers for the repair of equipment will not take up repair of such a specific apparatus.

When operating the machine, special attention should be paid to such factors as power surges in the power system, water hardness, and the integrity of the machine's parts - all of which may affect its operation in one way or another.
