For those who do not know what the device is and why it is needed
Irrigator is an apparatus for cleaning teeth and gums in hard-to-reach places. This device is used at home. This unit:
- removes yellow coating by means of water ripple;
- eliminates food particles in the interdental space;
- cleans the oral cavity of microorganisms;
- massages the gums, improving their blood circulation.
Irrigator can work on water or a special solution, which through the hydraulic pump gets into the nozzle. A powerful water flow effectively cleans interdental intervals, gingival pockets. The standard cleaning of teeth with a toothbrush and paste can not cope with its task so qualitatively.
The device serves to clean the oral cavity of bacterial plaque by using a flow of water under increased pressure.
Unlike the standard cleaning method, the device can effectively clean, bleach the enamel from the plaque, and also easily get into the dentogingival pockets and interdental spaces where the toothbrush or toothpick can not penetrate.
If the mouth has crowns, braces, then the use of the device will help keep them clean.

Comparison with competitors
Waterpik is famous for its oral care devices for many years. It was this manufacturer who created the first irrigator before the others.
To date, many companies produce devices for cleaning the oral cavity - Braun, Donfeel, Aquajet and others.
Compared to competitors, Waterpik Wp 450 leads in number of nozzles, which are designed to cleanse various areas of the oral cavity. Also, the nozzle heads can rotate 360 °.Plus, the main argument is the quality of all products tested over the years.
How to use
It is very easy to use the irrigator. First of all, it is necessary to pour warm water into the container or a specialized solution.
The nozzle then adheres with the lips so that the liquid can be poured out of the oral cavity. Turn on the device, before adjusting the correct water jet, and proceed to the procedure.
The nozzle must be kept strictly perpendicular to the surface to be treated. Gum tissue is tender, so you must first set the jet to minimum speed.
The duration of the procedure is from 5 to 10 minutes, the exact time is in direct proportion to the sensitivity of the oral cavity of a particular person. At the end of the procedure, the used nozzles must be cleaned and washed.
Do not operate the appliance in which there is no water. Also it is necessary to track where the device was purchased, becausethe foreign irrigator can work on a different voltage. This is easily corrected with the help of a special adapter, which can be bought at the electrical shop.

- should not be poured into a fluid reservoir containing oil, iodine or bleaching components;
- when adding various special liquids to the tank, it must be added with water, in the ratio indicated to each specific solution;

From the practical experience of ordinary people

For a long time, I suffered from bleeding gums. The dentist advised me to buy an irrigator for home use. Here and there was at me the device from Vaterpik. In a complete set there were 4 nozzles, the instruction, and the device. At first it was unusual to perform the procedure, but then eventually the irrigator became my best assistant.
The gums have become much healthier, I completely forgot about bleeding. Teeth are so white and healthy, as if they just left the dental office. With confidence I say that I do not want to return to the toothbrush.

I bought a device for my children. Like many small sweet tooth they have many carious teeth, and often the gums are inflamed. The children's dentist said that the best way out of the situation will be to buy an irrigator that will suit both children and adults. The device was brought directly from America, so I had to buy an adapter for charging. Pleased that it works almost silently and at the expense of the power regulator the children use the regime for sensitive teeth, and for myself include a stronger one. A year has been working without interruptions, which is very encouraging. I advise everyone who wants to have healthy teeth.
