Type of oral irrigator

First of all, the most important thing is to decide what type of oral irrigator you want to buy. The most common market offers two types of oral irrigators: Inpatient (act on the power supply) and portable (wireless, charged). When considering which type of device is more suitable for you, you should first consider how many individuals intend to use the irrigator and whether children will use it. Another important thing is whether you are planning to use it at home or want to buy a irrigator that is convenient to carry in your purse, to take with you when traveling.

Usually, this type of irrigators are not charged, so they are used in a convenient place when using the necessary electrical outlet. Most of the stationary models of the oral irrigators are not waterproof, so the device requires safe, dry location. For this reason, they are more convenient to use in spacious bathrooms. Inpatient mouth Irigator Families are often chosen – their larger water capacity, with more additional nozzles, fully filled with the capacity of the device in a row, with personal tips, and several family members can also use personal tips.

Oral irrigator capacity

Inpatient oral irrigators usually have a higher water capacity (up to ~ 1000 ml), so it should be less frequently filled. The capacities of wireless devices come in different sizes (~ 120-350 ml.). Water capacity from about 240 ml. It corresponds to the recommendations of one procedure, but it is a very individual indicator because the condition of each person's oral cavity and its care needs are different.

Water resistance

A waterproof irrigator can also be used in a shower or bathroom, and it is safe to keep it at the bathroom washbasin. It is important to pay attention to the water resistance index and is usually presented with an IPX indicator. IPX7 and higher index means that the device does not need to be protected from moisture. The use of lower IPX devices is not recommended for baths or shower bathing, specially diving underwater, but the minimum moisture content is not dangerous for them.

The fact that the mouth Irigator It is not waterproof, certainly does not mean that it is a poor quality device. It is recommended that it be stored in a bathroom cabinet or other dry place after using such a device and removing the water residue in the oral irrigator.

Operation modes

Another important factor is the different mode of operation of the device. The more different modes you can choose, the easier it is to customize the device to different needs. This is especially true if more than 1 or 2 people use the device. Some models of the oral irrigators have additional mode – a pulsating water current for gum massage. This regime is very useful for the prevention of periodontalosis.

Accessories

It is also recommended to take into account the attachments of the device in the purchase of the oral irrigator. It is important to find out if the device box has a charger or a USB cord and the adapter will be needed. Perhaps you often travel or go on business trips, so you are interested in the Irigator. Find out how many and what nozzles will be included – it is useful to assess whether additional specific tips need to be purchased, taking into account your oral cavity care needs. It is important to remember that the oral irigator tips are individual use and must be replaced every 3-6 months.
