What you need to know when buying a irrigator

Such a device as an irrigator, no doubt, is necessary for every person, regardless of whether he has oral diseases or not. That's just before you purchase it, you need to deal with the fact what irrigator is best to buy. It will be much easier to do this if you study the device capabilities in as much detail as possible.

How to choose

The choice of device is influenced by many different characteristics, such as:

• the method of supplying water or medicine;
• device type;
• the number and types of interchangeable nozzles;
• the ability to adjust the jet head;
• presence of the service center in your city.

The method of supplying water or medicine

By way of water supply oral irrigators are divided into:

1. Mono jet, feeding water into the oral cavity in the form of a thin stream, continuously.
2. Pulsedcharacterized by short pulsations of water. Micro-pulses are so small that they are not felt at all by man. However, a device with such a water supply is most effective in removing plaque and food debris from the teeth and interdental space. Such a water supply is much better than a simple mono jet.

3. Microbubblesupplying water with air bubbles. With this technology, the water, when exiting the nozzle, is enriched with air bubbles, which, when in contact with the teeth, “explode” as it were, contributing to the best cleansing of dental plaque and exerting an antibacterial effect. Compared to the other two methods of supplying water, this one is the best.

Types of irrigators

The choice of instrument, of course, depends largely on its type. There are two types:

• fixed, powered by the mains;
• portable, for which only batteries are needed.

Stationary irrigator is good for home use. It has a large tank and good power.In addition, it is suitable for use by all family members, provided that each of them has its own nozzle. But there are significant drawbacks. These include the need to install an additional outlet in the bathroom.

pros portable type the device is in its relatively small size, mobility and the possibility of using several family members (at the expense of the included replacement nozzles). The disadvantages are the small life, the volume of the tank and a small number of adjustments.

Number and types of interchangeable nozzles

When choosing a irrigator for oral care, you should pay attention to what nozzles are included in its package. The device can be equipped with the same nozzles of different colors, designed to clean the teeth from plaque and food debris, which is quite convenient for use by all family members, and completely different nozzles to clean the tongue, braces, crowns, periodontal pockets and so on.

There are even nozzles for washing the nose, which will be very useful in the treatment of rhinitis, sinusitis.

Ability to adjust the jet head

This feature is present in most modern models. It is extremely necessary, because with it you can control not only the degree of cleaning the teeth from plaque, but also the effect of the jet on the gums. When initially using an irrigator for oral care, it is best to use more gentle modewhich can be enhanced over time. This characteristic is especially important for people suffering from bleeding gums. They should choose the device with the highest adjustment modes for oral care.

Presence of the service center in your city

This is a rather important characteristic, which can also have a considerable influence on the implementation of the choice Oral Care Irrigator. This is due to the fact that if there is a service center in your city, there will be no problems with the maintenance and repair of the device. If this is not the case in your locality, you will have to cover all the costs of transporting the device, if it detects a malfunction during the warranty period, from your own pocket, which may be unnecessarily expensive.

Conclusion

Without irrigator, of course, oral care can not be called complete.Some, as a reward for its unique capabilities, called the device "Karcher" (washing machine) for teeth. Knowing what specifically you need to make a choice is not so difficult. Therefore, before proceeding to the choice of device for the care of the oral cavity, it is necessary to prioritize its characteristics. After that you will know which model is best to buy.
