Water flosser + electric toothbrush combo. Water flossers are game changers.
I've never heard of a water flosser. After searching, they seem expensive for squirting a bit of water in your mouth.
There are cheap ones on Amazon that work exactly the same as the original brand. I bought mine for 8€ in Lidl, it has served me for years without fail
Awesome, how often do they pop up at Lidl? I haven't seen them, granted I didn't know they existed so haven't been looking!
They seem to have them in stock for a week about every other month or so, I usually skim through their newspaper to see if I find anything interesting
They are expensive and I don't have one for that exact reason, however it's not just "squirting a bit of water into your mouth", it's high pressure water that, as the name suggests, is a complete replacement for traditional flossing.
I love mine and it's absolutely disgusted me when I first used it and found so much stuck between my teeth.
But they are not a replacement for floss. They don't scrape the sides of your teeth the same way. They are a part of my routine, but floss is still required to actually clean the teeth.
Good to know, thanks!
