Water Jet Teeth Cleaning

[yottie]

I'm not as young as I used to be and am having trouble at times getting brushes into some teeth cavities.
Are these waterjet cleaners a reliable alternative.

I have the Phillips one ( Amazon) find it good

Ask an expert - your Dentist.

Most dentists don't rate them on the MSE site... YMMV. As I understand it they don't dislodge the plaque building up like a brush. My man recommends the TePe interdentals in various sizes to match the gaps, along with a decent electric toothbrush.

I have one, thought it would be rubbish but it’s very good

Aren't they supposed to replace flossing, not so much the brushing ?

Yep. Our tooth-puller swears by them...

I had a Philips Airfloss one and it was rubbish. Just a tiny little Pfff of nothing, total waste of time and chucked it away.

If anyone has specific recommendations for water ones please post them.

I use these, best thing I've ever tried...

They're vastly better than either loose floss or the flat shaped picks.

All of the above are intended for use in addition to brushing, not instead of.

Thanks to all, I'm really looking for something that I can use on the inside of my back teeth.
I have problems opening my mouth for the brush to get right in.

Can someone post a link of a decent water jet floss?

Please
