Introduction of Water Flosser

2021-08-20
Water Flosser is an auxiliary tool for cleaning the oral cavity. It uses pulsed water impact to clean teeth and between teeth. It is mainly portable and desktop. The flushing pressure is generally 0 to 90 psi.

Just as people know that a high-pressure water gun can easily clean cars, etc., water with proper pressure has long been proven to be effective in cleaning people’s teeth and mouths. The cleaning function of Water Flosser is mainly to use high-speed water jets sprayed under a certain pressure. The impact force is achieved. Based on the impact force of the water flow itself, the following measures may further improve the cleaning effect:
1) Make the water flow jet and impact in the appropriate pulse form, or bring more bubbles into the water flow, which can also have a similar vibration and impact effect.
2) Add some additives with different functions to the water stream, such as adding fine hard heavy sand to form countless high-speed "bullets", or adding some surfactants to increase the cleaning function. The impact cleaning ability of the water column is also related to the size of the water column There are relationships.
3) By changing the frequency of water pulses, the best combination with pressure is achieved. For example, a professional dental scaler in a dental clinic has a high frequency of more than 20,000 times. From the principle of using frequency vibration to clean objects, the higher the frequency, the better the cleaning effect.
There are two main sources of water pressure required by Water Flosser: 1) Use self-contained pumps to generate water pressure;
2) Direct use of the pressure of tap water. Therefore, the Water Flosser can be divided into two categories according to the structure: electric Water Flosser and faucet Water Flosser. The structure of electric Water Flosser mainly includes an electric water pump, water storage tank, and sprinkler. The structure of the water faucet Water Flosser is mainly There is a connection device with the faucet and the sprinkler.
necessity
At the junction of the tooth and the gum, there is a sulcus about 2 mm deep around the tooth but not attached to the tooth called the gingival sulcus. This is the most important way to the root of the tooth.
The junction is the easiest place to contain dirt, and is the place most likely to cause tooth and gum disease. Gingival sulcus and interdental space are the two most difficult places to clean. Some studies have pointed out that “up to 40% of the tooth surface is unusable. Toothbrush cleaning". Although dental floss (or toothpick) can remove the deposits on the tooth surface, microscopically, the uneven surface of the tooth will still be unclean. Bacteria only needs a very thin layer of nutrient film to grow. The harmful effects of the dirt membrane are still partly present. Both the force of destruction and the pressure water flow that can be drilled into the hole is the most ideal way of oral cleaning in principle. According to the research of the United States, the pressure water column can rush into the gingival sulcus. Rinse to a depth of 50-90%. The pressure water jet can not only clean all kinds of crevices, holes and convex and concave surfaces, but also achieve microscopic thorough "cleaning" instead of macroscopic rough "removal". In addition to the function of cleaning the teeth and the oral cavity, the water flow also has a massage effect on the gums, promotes the blood circulation of the gums and enhances the resistance of local tissues; at the same time, it can also eliminate bad breath caused by poor oral hygiene.
Influence

In addition to uncomfortable food debris stuffed between teeth and bacteria, the greater harm is that it provides nutrients to dental plaque. If it is not removed in time, dental plaque can easily become calcified and become "tartar" which accumulates on the roots of teeth, oppresses and stimulates the periodontal environment, and causes periodontal atrophy. Therefore, using Water Flosser or toothpicks or dental floss to clean the gap between teeth is actually a major source of nutrients to block dental plaque.
