The latest product in my household is the Philips Sonicare AirFloss. Normal brushing alone is not enough indeed made known. We therefore recommend the regular use of dental floss or interdental brushes - at least I get the 2 to hear from my dentist twice a year. My problem is that I do not get along with dental floss, because I have very narrow spaces between the teeth and then there is always a waiting game, to "threading" the floss. Therefore, I previously did not use dental floss, sporadically the interdental brushes (but also so I can not in all locations). Friends, we have then the Philips Sonicare AirFloss recommended. The more grateful I was when I had the nice part are finally in my bathroom.

In the package of the toothbrush was a voucher from Philips via a "subsidy" for a professional tooth cleaning. In the case of Philip AirFloss refunded 30 euros. In this respect - if you eh regularly can carry out a professional tooth cleaning - "lowers" the buying price of AifFloss speak to 30 euros.
The device will effectively remove plaque between teeth by spray of air and water according to the manufacturer. For this you simply fill water (but you can also pour mouthwash) into the water tank, a filling is sufficient for 2 applications. May sound complicated, because you have so often to refill the tank - it is not because the padding is done quickly and easily within a few seconds. The AirFloss has an appealing design schhlankes lies comfortably in the hand and can be easily operated by both adults and children. Is operated by the battery - charge for 24 hours provides sufficient then for about 2 weeks (or 14 for complete applications). If the battery is empty, this is indicated by the indicator - it then flashes.
As already stated, the application is easy. Charging, fill and then it starts. Is the unit turned on with light pressure on the on / off switch - with little effort. Then added the angled cleaning nozzle easy (so reach even difficult places) just to the tooth gap, this the leadership of the gums along lead, you then realize itself when you have arrived at the right place. Then simply trigger a spray by pressing lightly on the purpose at the upper end located button. Watching, the button reacts to very slight pressure, so watch out, if you are not "working in the mouth". Have myself inadvertently sprayed into the eye mouthwash before. But that is not a criticism of the device, but only a nice-intentioned Note that you have to watch. On the contrary, I find it very pleasant that you can trigger the beam without any effort, just because you're in a passage must trigger at least 30 times, at once to clean the teeth completely.
Overall, it takes about half a minute to complete once all tooth gaps "durchzupusten", so not a huge additional cost to normal brushing. It shows itself in the application of the effectiveness of the AirFloss. You can feel downright dissolved food remnants in the mouth, so the AirFloss regarding me was able to convince the cleaning effect.
In very narrow tooth gaps of the water jet comes through not always, sometimes I have to "fix" a different position again, but then it would be. But I could imagine that the device for people with very narrow tooth gaps is unsuitable to me, that's just a guess, everyone has to try for themselves.
The Price: The recommended retail price is 139.99, but on the Internet there is this even cheaper (have him already for 110, - EUR seen). Mag for one or the other sound too expensive, but that should be worth one's teeth. One must remember that in the long run would be more expensive dentures.
Conclusion
The Philips Sonicare AirFloss is a real alternative to flossing muffle or for people like me who just do not get along with dental floss. Certainly flossing still thorough and effective, but before you completely abstain from cleaning the gaps, the device is a good substitute.
