Our reviewer says this water flosser is life changing. It's 41% off at Amazon
In the past, I wasn't flossing my teeth every day like I'm supposed to. I was simply too tired at night and too busy in the morning. (Excuses, I know.) Plus, the whole flossing process seemed more gross than satisfying to me.
Water flossers have been recommended to me by dentists for years, but I didn't really understand what they do. I mistakenly thought they were just necessary for those with braces. Now that I finally own one, I can say I was wrong. Water flossers are truly life-changing -- and just about everyone can benefit from one.
Water flossers squirt water between your teeth at high speed to clear away any plaque. Once you've cleaned a row of teeth, you simply spit out the water and move on to the next. I cannot emphasize enough how much faster, easier and less gross this is than dental flossing. Most importantly, it's something I can stick to every day because it takes almost no mental effort for me.
The first time I water-flossed my teeth my gums bled -- they will do this if you don't floss often enough. But since then they've never bled again. I take that as evidence that water flossing has improved the health of my gums.
