In the past, I didn’t floss every day like I should. I was simply too tired at night and too busy in the morning. (Sorry, I know.) Also, the whole flossing process seemed more gross than satisfying to me.
Flossers have been recommended to me by dentists for years, but I didn’t really understand what they do. I mistakenly thought they were only necessary for those with braces. Now that I finally own one, I can say I was wrong. Water threads are truly life-changing – and almost everyone can benefit from one.
Flossing sprays water between the teeth at high speed to clean away plaque. After cleaning one set of teeth, simply spit out the water and move on to the next. I can’t stress enough how much faster, easier and less gross this is than flossing. Most importantly, it’s something I can stick to every day because it requires almost no mental effort for me.
The first time I flossed my teeth my gums bled — they will do this if you don’t floss often enough. But since then they have never bled again. I take that as proof that water thread has improved health of my gums.
