Water flosser (Waterpik) – Is it necessary?
Yes, the water flosser (Waterpik) is highly recommended for maintaining oral hygiene for every patient, especially for those with prosthetic restorations on implants. The water flosser directs water in pulsing jets, which effectively remove plaque and food debris from hard-to-reach areas. This device is especially important for implant patients, as it helps prevent inflammation and maintain the health of gums and implants. The staff at Barjaktarević Clinic uses the water flosser daily as part of their oral hygiene routine, confirming its effectiveness and importance.
Although the water flosser is an effective addition to maintaining oral hygiene, it does not replace traditional tooth brushing and the use of interdental brushes. A combination of these methods is recommended for optimal results.
