An irrigator is a device used to remove plaque, food debris from interdental spaces and massage the gums using water jet vibrations. Many people use these devices for oral care at home, but they can be dangerous. Associate Professor Zurab Khabadze, Deputy Director of the RUDN Medical Institute, Head of the Department of Therapeutic Dentistry, told socialbites.ca.
“Usually an irrigator is prescribed for patients with large structures, orthopedic structures, bridge structures or braces. In other cases, you can do without it or use it as a nice hydromassage to the gum margin twice a week,” said Khabadze.
According to him, irrigators cannot be used daily, since their effect on the gums can ultimately lead to chronic damage to soft tissues and reduce the activity of special cells – fibroblasts – that synthesize important collagen in tissues responsible for elasticity. density of gums.
