Overview
Q1: What is a water flosser?
A: The water flosser is an auxiliary oral cleaning tool that uses a pulsed stream of water to clean teeth and the spaces between teeth. It is primarily available in portable and tabletop models.
Just as high-pressure water jets are commonly used to clean cars, water at appropriate pressures has long been proven to effectively clean teeth and the oral cavity.
The cleaning effect of a water flosser is primarily achieved by the impact of a high-speed jet of water at a certain pressure.
Q2: Is it necessary to use a water flosser?
A: At the junction of teeth and gums, there's a groove about 2 mm deep that surrounds the teeth but isn't attached to them. This groove, called the gingival sulcus, is the most crucial point leading to the tooth's foundation.
Besides being uncomfortable and harboring bacteria, food debris trapped between teeth is even more harmful because it provides nutrients for dental plaque. If not removed promptly, plaque can easily calcify, turning into "tartar" and accumulating at the tooth roots. This compresses and irritates the periodontal environment, causing periodontal atrophy. Therefore, using an oral irrigator to clean between teeth effectively blocks a major source of plaque nutrition.
Q3: What is the Xiaomi Water Flosser 2?
A: The Xiaomi Water Flosser 2 is a rechargeable, portable water irrigator. It uses a powerful, pulsating water jet to remove food debris from areas a toothbrush can't reach. The pulsating water jet gently massages gums for healthier teeth. The entire device can be rinsed with water and meets IPX7 waterproof standards. The nozzle is removable and replaceable. The user-friendly nozzle design provides greater comfort.
