Irrigator or ultrasonic toothbrush: what is better for brushing your teeth, description, characteristics - Setafi

It is very important to regularly take care of the health of your teeth and oral cavity, because any disease is easier to prevent than to treat. Moreover, progress is constantly moving forward, and for high-quality dental care, many tools and methods have been created that greatly facilitate the cleaning process. Innovative devices for cleaning teeth are an irrigator and an ultrasonic brush. Let's figure out what these devices are and which ones are better suited for brushing your teeth.

Many people think that an irrigator is a device for professional dental and oral care, which is carried out exclusively in a clinic. But this is a delusion. The use of an irrigator is also advisable at home, and in some cases thorough cleaning is generally impossible without this device. With the help of an irrigator, you can clean the oral cavity from bacterial plaque, remove food debris in places which are difficult to reach for a conventional brush, as well as provide additional gum care in the form of massage. It is unlikely that you will be able to clean your teeth as effectively with a regular brush as you can with an irrigator.

An ultrasonic brush is also an indispensable device in home dental care. Ultrasound has a mild therapeutic effect, and also has a positive effect on the microflora of the oral cavity.

An ultrasonic brush has many advantages:

1. Significantly inhibits the growth of bacteria in the oral cavity, accelerates the process of tissue regeneration, and effectively fights caries.
2. Ideally fights plaque that appears after smoking cigarettes.
3. Effectively affects hard-to-reach areas in the oral cavity that a conventional toothbrush cannot cope with.
4. The ultrasonic brush can be used even with braces or dentures.
5. Using an ultrasonic toothbrush, you will significantly save toothpaste consumption.
6. Ultrasound does not destroy enamel. Ideal for people with sensitive gums.

It is difficult to say unequivocally which technique is best for your teeth and oral cavity, since both devices have a proven positive and lasting effect.

Familiarize yourself with the principle of operation of both devices.

What is the principle of operation of an irrigator and an ultrasonic toothbrush: comparison of models, overview

The principle of operation of the irrigator. The operation of the device is based on the receipt of a powerful jet stream under high pressure, directed to those parts of the oral cavity that require cleaning.

With the help of a massage effect, the irrigator improves blood circulation.
