Cordless Dental Irrigator / Sprays particles of food from gum line between teeth / Internal Battery recharges for cord-free use / Includes 2 jet tips The bacteria that cause gum diseases live below the gumline, places difficult to reach with ordinary toothbrushes or even floss. Mouth rinsing only reaches about 1/10 of a millimeter below the gums. Thats why many dentists recommend irrigating the teeth and gums. Originally designed to flush away food particles, todays irrigators have specially designed tips to deliver antimicrobial agents deep below the gumline where vast numbers of organisms thrive.
