You should floss your teeth at least once a day. You need to floss in between your teeth to remove food debris and plaque your tooth brush just cannot reach. Unremoved  plaque can cause decay and contribute to gum disease.

Many people refuse to floss their teeth because they find it too difficult or they claim it takes too long. Well, there is a new product that actually is a game changer in dental flossing.

Phillips, the same company that brought you the Sonicare tooth brush, has developed the Sonicare Airfloss. The Airfloss is an oral irrigation device that looks similar to a Sonicare tooth brush that shoots a burst of air and water in between your teeth removing food particles and plaque. Studies show that using the Airfloss is just as effective as using dental floss. You can also fill the Airfloss with water or your favorite mouth wash.

In our Williamsburg dental office, we can barely keep the Airfloss in stock. Patients love the ease and effectiveness of using the Airfloss. It is especially effective for people who have bridges and dental implants. The Airfloss can reach those hard to reach areas where it is too difficult to get regular dental floss.

Ask your Williamsburg dentists, Dr. Carol F. Morgan, DDS or Dr. Monica J. Contract, DMD about how using the Airfloss can improve your dental health.

It is the FDA’s position that there are no over the counter products that are currently approved for the prevention of these viruses and bacterias. The FDA suggests that consumers avoid hand sanitizers that claim to prevent these viruses and bacteria.
