Countertop Water Flossers
Types and Sizes of Countertop Water Flossers
Water flossing is a brilliant way to replace the traditional method of dental flossing with thread. Flossers are designed to effectively clean hard-to-reach places that you can’t otherwise get to with brushing. As an extra bonus, they’re better for the environment because they save on a lot of plastic normally used in floss thread from going to landfill!
There are two main types of water flossers: Countertop Water Flossers and Cordless Water Flossers. The main differences between the two are that countertop water flossers have higher overall water pressure capabilities and more robust settings – but they trade portability and size for these benefits. They’re often larger than cordless units and need to be plugged into mains to operate.
But don’t let that put you off, if you have the space for a countertop flosser then you can’t beat its clean.
Types and Sizes of Countertop Water Flossers
Countertop water flossers offer a range of sizes and features.
