Interdental cleaning is an important part of a patient's personal oral care regimen. Water flossers, also known as oral irrigators or dental water jets, can play a vital, effective role in interdental hygiene. Evidence has shown a significant reduction in plaque biofilm from tooth surfaces and the reduction of subgingival pathogenic bacteria from pockets as deep as 6 mm with the use of water flossing. In addition, water flossers have been shown to reduce gingivitis, bleeding, probing pocket depth, host inflammatory mediators, and calculus. Educating patients on the use of a water flosser as part of their oral hygiene routine can be a valuable tool in maintaining oral health.
牙间隙清洁是患者个人口腔护理方案的重要组成部分。水牙线，也被称为口腔冲洗器或牙科水射流，在牙间隙卫生方面可以发挥至关重要且有效的作用。有证据表明，使用水牙线可显著减少牙齿表面的菌斑生物膜，并减少深度达6毫米的牙周袋内的龈下病原菌。此外，水牙线已被证明可减少牙龈炎、出血、探诊深度、宿主炎症介质和牙结石。教育患者将使用水牙线作为其日常口腔卫生的一部分，对于维护口腔健康而言可能是一项有价值的工具。
