As a dentist, I consider myself qualified to assess the difference between flossing and Airfloss. I myself am naturally floss users and find their use also terribly simple and can thus not understand why they do so patient. ;-) Joking aside. Of course, flossing is not suitable for every patient. Even the presence of bridges, large interdental spaces, exposed root surfaces, crowding and simple manual clumsiness or the advanced age and the famous pig dog from use advises against one as an advice against abstaining from alcohol and cigarettes, are reasons why flossing Although the best all conceivable interdental cleaning methods, but not the best that day and actually used Otto mortal. The statistically recorded floss consumption of 2 cm per inhabitant per year speak a clear language here. I feel the positive expansion, which is the Airfloss for the list of recommendations of a dentist who wants to bring something close to his patient. What then apply actually. Wonders when it comes to cleaning action, should not be expected. Plaque is fucking sticky. You remove is tedious. Not for nothing are the professional dental cleanings time consuming and it requires equipment that can not be sold for 79 euros more expensive but 20-30 times to 100% to get teeth clean. BUT: Between "I brush only with the manual toothbrush!" and "I suppose (for example) a Sonicare PLUS Airfloss" made worlds. The ability (although not officially mentioned by Philip and certified) (ask the dentist!) Antibacterial rinses fill and thus "püstern" is progress vs. the oral irrigator that has far too much consumption to splash expensive Medis so. I can not say anything about durability, but I do not long enough. Your cleaning is me but satisfied. Perhaps precisely because I have the advertising lie "replacement for dental floss" not believed, yet mean, she has to have an authorization for many patients who have problems with their gums. Allen, who complain of heavy bleeding, I advise to first let the dentist do a cleaning times because tartar and calculus (below the gum sitting tartar) can not be removed from the Airfloss. As long as that were not removed, absolutely nothing helps against the constant bleeding.
