The Best Power Dental Flossers for a Healthy Set of Pearly Whites

By

As much as we all hate it, flossing regularly is essential for keeping your oral hygiene at a high level. Not only that, but not flossing on a regular basis makes those rare flossing sessions more painful and full of old food bits and drawn blood. Thankfully, we’ve come a long way in making the act of flossing more enjoyable thanks to power dental flossers and water picks. In fact, the best power dental flossers are the most comfortable and effective method for ridding your teeth of gunk without all the pain and hassle typically associated with flossing.

Also known as power washers for your teeth, power dental flossers use high-powered water pressure to remove plaque from your teeth and help protect against tooth decay, food buildup, and other gum diseases. And, these water flossers do so in a much more gentle and versatile fashion by significantly reducing irritation of the gums and floss-induced bleeding.

Some of these include rotate-ready heads for hitting those hard-to-reach areas of your mouth and variants in water pressure for the effective removal of plaque and food particles.

Remember the good old days when we relied on a skincare regimen of soap and water? Maybe not, depending on how many candles were on your last birthday cake, but skincare was once as straightforward as that, especially for men. However, modern advances like gentle cleansers and moisturizers allowed deeper cleans and softer, smoother, and well-hydrated skin. Specific ingredients in these products also helped target or reduce the risk for common skin concerns, including acne and sun protection, while delaying signs of aging. These days, skincare has expanded, sometimes to luxurious-looking but rather complicated 12-step routines. Face serums often make these regimens and even more scaled-back ones.

What are serums, and do they belong in your routine?
