Q: What is the Sonicare Airfloss and do I need one?

Sonicare Airfloss is a new technology in the oral health field, a mix between a waterpik and an air pic the Sonicare Airfloss is specially designed to give you an easy, effective way to clean in between your teeth.

 

It features microburst technology that delivers microdroplets of air and water to remove plaque between teeth, and it's proven safe and gentle on gums and teeth. With one-button functionality and a guidance tip that ensures targeted cleaning in between teeth, patients using Sonicare AirFloss can quickly clean the entire mouth in just 30 seconds. You can use mouthwash or water, and the Airfloss holds enough liquid for two uses in the attached chamber.

 

The Sonicare Airfloss is the perfect solution for our patients in braces since it can easily get stuck food and leftover debris out quickly and safely. Nearly half of your tooth's surface is in between your teeth. That means if flossing isn't part of your daily routine (which it should be) you're actually not cleaning a large portion of your teeth. The Sonicare Air Floss removes up to 5 x more plaque between teeth than brushing and flossing alone. The Sonicare Airfloss should not replace brushing and flossing twice a day, but is an excellent addition to your oral hygiene routine. We have found that children enjoy using the Airfloss as well, since it is easy to use and fun for them to clean their teeth with.

 

The Sonicare Airfloss is also perfect for storing and use, since there is not bulky water chamber that is hooked up to the Airfloss or large charging station.

 

"One study showed that after just two months of using AirFloss, hygienists saw improved gum health in 95% of patients who don't floss regularly. And more than 8 out of 10 patients said they wanted to keep using it."
