Oral irrigation has been around for many decades but not many have heard or used this tool for achieving optimal gum health. They are sold under the names Waterpik or Oxycare 3000 just to name a couple. The Oxycare 3000 is superior to the regular Waterpik due to the makeup of the unit. These tools are basically a water unit that allows water or a medicated liquid to be delivered through a wand with pressure to rinse away any plaque or debris that brushing or flossing may have missed. Also, due to the pressurized delivery of the liquid, most pockets around the gums that collect food and bacteria will be cleaned out efficiently preventing the start of periodontal disease. Anyone who incorporates this tool into their daily regimen of brushing at least twice daily and flossing will surely get a A+ on their oral hygiene.
