Cleaning the tooth interspaces with the oral irrigator does not substitute regular cleaning of your
teeth with tooth brush and tooth paste.
The oral irrigator only is a complement for tooth and oral care.
•
Correct handling of the tooth brush is decisive for preserving the health of your teeth for a long
time. Simply moving the tooth brush back and forth very soon wears the dental enamel and
therfore should be avoided. Rotary movements are ideal, additionally complemented by moving
the brush from the gums to the tooth in order to clean the tooth interspaces.
You should brush your teeth at least twice a day after your meals for approx. 3 minutes.
Regularly replace your tooth brush by a new one; at leats every 2 months or when the bristles of
the tooth brush have deformed.
Depending on your teeth and your gums, choose a soft, medium or hard tooth brush.
•
It is recommended to support children below 10 years of age with cleaning their teeth. Very often,
younger children are not able to do the correct movements with the tooth brush.
•
When operating the oral irrigator, always start with the lowest water pressure (setting "1"). If
necessary, increase the water pressure until it is comfortable for you.
A too high water pressure might involve loosening of dental fillings or might rinse off loose
dental fillings.
If you feel pain of your teeth or gums during cleaning your teeth or if your gums are
bleeding, switch the oral irrigator off. If necessary, seek medical care!
