Water flossers

tepe are best for properly cleaning in between teeth. Water flossers are a waste of money. It is also worth while seeing a dental hygienist for advice and instruction

i bought my Fairywill flosser from a charity shop when Prime sold boxes at discount prices. I love it. My husband had a spurious make from Amazon but to be honest it is more powerful spray than mine. My teeth are very close together so conventional floss gets stuck. I use steradent type tablets to clean both but some websites state to use white vinegar on them. It maybe cheaper to buy an unknown make as the replacements heads can be very expensive.

They work well
Few tips- Need to bend over the sink- don’t try to look in the mirror or everything can get sprayed.
Also, use warm water- cold very unpleasant. Start on a slow speed until used to it.

I’ve used one for years and it’s brilliant! My teeth are too close together for flossing and even dental tape gets stuck.

A word of caution! - Don’t switch it on until it’s in your mouth! The spray is very powerful and you don’t want it in your eye!

I have one and I can’t believe how much debris it washes out after my granola breakfast. My hygienist is pleased I am using it.

I use one, it’s very good for getting bits out and keeping tartar at bay.
You must remember to keep your mouth shut when using, othwise it’s a surprise shower!

I like the silicon Tepe brushes too, they are more rigid but less sharp than the other interdental brushes, I find them easy to use.

I use, as advised my my dentist, Tepee sticks too SueDonim different sizes, they seem to do a good job.

My Dh uses one, called a WaterPik. He certainly has few complaints from the hygienist since using it!

I prefer Tepe silicon ‘brushes’. I find them easier to use than floss or the bristle brushes. I’ve got a dental check up soon, we’ll see what the verdict is then!

Oh yes, I have one and it's so much better than floss. It's a bit bulky to hold but does the job and you will get used to it. Like you, I find traditional floss awful to use, it gets stuck between my teeth and Tepe brushes get bent out of shape. I don't recall ever worrying about food getting trapped in my teeth when younger, its yet one more annoying thing that comes with age.

I bought one and found it difficult to use, it also dislodged part of a filling. It went in the charity shop bag as there were several 'heads' unused and still wrapped in cellophane.

We use one, have for years. Brilliant for stuck broccoli...

I have used one for some time. It takes a little practice.

With regards to what to buy, after all this while, I would say that it is important to be able to take it completely apart for cleaning. You also need plenty of power and may prefer to have one with different strengths of squirt in case you have sensitive gums.
