    Ive just finished having a lot of work done 2 bridges 4 crowns endless root canel tratments etc etc Yes all lack of taking care of my teeth in the past.
    Ive now changed this and brush 2 times per day for min of 3 mins and floss once a day and wash my mouth with water each time i eat. When i floss i use a bridge thread and them little floss bridges. I was reading on the net about something called a dental water jet. iIt is said that thia is up to 90% better than flossing or useing the small brushes.
    Does anyone know much about them are they this good, or is this just a marketing ploy.I dont know anyone who uses one.
    Anyone out there recomend them are they any good.The price for a good one is about 70 80 euro which is well worth every penny if they as good as they claim And reportly great for crowns and bridges.
    Its called a
    Dental Water Jet

    they are very old school, just get yourself a nice vibrating oral b tooth brush, and use it 3 times a day

    There's a specific 'interdental' head for the oral b triumph. Or you can get an inter-dental manual brush in a multi pack. I saw 'em in dunnes last week, they'll do the job.

    water jets (oral irrigators) may be messy etc but all my patients that use them have excellent gums and oral health.if you are inclined to use it go for it. personally I hate them but then I know how to brush and floss.

    digzy, there is a new one with ionised jet which kills bacteria. can't think of the name, looks good in video demo.
