How To Use Petpo Dental Water Flosser? For Oral & Teeth Health

Although water flossing shouldn’t totally replace dental floss, it can help you floss more often. Plus, it may make it easier to use dental floss by loosening food remains beforehand.

Learning how to use a water flosser can be messy at first; but as you do it each day, you’ll quickly learn the technique. Use the following simple steps to get started:

1. Fill the reservoir with lukewarm water. You can easily refill your reservoir by removing the top of the water container. Add a small cup of chlorhexidine mouthwash to the reservoir twice a week to create a sterile environment.
2. Select the right tip. Your water flosser should come with a few standard tips, including a classic jet tip, toothbrush tip, plaque seeker tip, orthodontic tip, and pick tip. Choose the one that works best for you.
3. Place the tip in the handle. There should be a way to lock the tip in place, either by twisting it or pressing a button on the handle. Consult your product manual if necessary.
4. Place the tip in your mouth and start with your back teeth. Hold the tip away from your teeth and gums rather than touching them directly. You may want to lean over the sink so you don’t splash water on your countertop. You can start on either the inside or outside, but be sure to spray every interdental area.
5. Turn on your water flosser. There will be either an on-button or a dial that adjusts the water pressure. Start with a low-pressure setting and work your way up. Make sure the pressure is high but comfortable.
6. Follow your gum line. Go tooth by tooth to ensure you get all food and tartar residue. Aim for the top of the tooth, the baseline of the gum, and the space between each tooth. Hold the water over each tooth for about two seconds. Repeat this process on the outside and inside of your teeth. It should take you about two minutes to complete.
7. Empty the reservoir. Finally, pour out any remaining water. Leaving stale water in your reservoir can cause bacteria to grow.

That’s all there is to it! You’ve just learned how to use a water flosser.
