How does a water flosser work

Water flossing is an advanced oral care tool that works similarly to traditional flossing, but uses water to clean. Its working principle is based on high-pressure water flow, which sprays water into the area between the teeth and gums to achieve the effect of cleaning the mouth. The working process of water flossing can be divided into several key steps:

First, the user fills the water flosser’s water tank and installs the nozzle on the handle. Once ready, the user can turn on the water flosser and start the water pump system. A water pump pulls water from the tank and sprays it out at high speed through a nozzle.

At this time, it should be noted that there may be some bacteria when installing the water, so the UV sterilization function will be better and healthier. The LED UV sterilization function can eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria in the water tank within 90 seconds.

Secondly, high-pressure water jets from the nozzle directly impact the area between the tooth surface and the gums. The power of this high-pressure water flow can effectively wash away food residue, bacteria and other dirt, achieving a thorough cleaning effect. At the same time, the impact of water flow can also stimulate the gums, promote blood circulation, and contribute to gum health.

Third, the nozzle design of the water flosser is very important. The nozzle usually adopts a porous design so that the water flow can evenly cover all parts of the teeth and gums, ensuring comprehensive cleaning. Some advanced water flossers are also equipped with rotating nozzles or vibration functions , such as KIWIBIRD brand water flossers, which further enhance the cleaning effect and can more thoroughly remove plaque and calculus.

Finally, the water flosser also has the function of adjusting the water pressure and spray mode, so users can adjust it according to their oral conditions and needs. Generally speaking, for sensitive teeth and gums, you can choose a lower water pressure and a gentle spray mode; while for users who need a more thorough cleaning, you can choose a higher water pressure and a more powerful spray mode to achieve a more thorough cleaning. Good cleaning effect.

As a modern oral care tool, water flossers are favored by more and more people for their efficiency, convenience and comfort. Through the action of high-pressure water flow, water flossers can thoroughly clean the mouth, prevent dental caries, periodontal disease and other oral health problems, and bring users a healthier and cleaner oral environment.
