There are several things you should look at when purchasing water flossers and we will discuss some of them below.

Types of Water Flossers

Attachable water flossers- From the name, this type of flossers should be attached to a faucet or shower. This type of flossers are not powered by either electricity or battery; they only require a water source to function.

Cordless flossers- Cordless flossers are battery powered and small in size. Due to its size, they are portable and best to take for camping, vacations and other travels.

Countertop flossers- this type of flossers should be placed on a countertop near a power socket. This indicates that they use electricity and they have a cord. They are the heaviest of the three, but they have more features and powerful functions.

Water Capacity

This is an important feature because it affects the time you will be able to use the device. Water capacity in water flossers is measured in seconds. If for instance, the label indicates 30 seconds, it means that you will be required to refill the water tank after every 30 seconds. The most powerful water flossers have a water capacity of 90 seconds.

Water Pressure

For customization, it is necessary to have additional speed and pressure settings. Countertop flossers, for example, have ten pressure settings making then suitable for the whole family. Note that, the cheaper the flosser, the less the pressure and speed settings. Dentist’s advice that it is good to start at low pressure to determine how your gums and teeth feel before applying full speed.

Flosser Tips

This is another essential factor to consider. The condition of your teeth will determine the type of tips to use. If for example, you want to use the flosser for preventive purposes, you will be okay with regular jet tips.

Prices

Cost is an essential factor to consider in the selection of all goods and services. It best if you have a set budget and strive to stick by it. Always ensure that you get quality and value from anything you pay for. Portable and regular flossers have similar or slightly different prices while countertop flossers are more expensive. For the best quality, ensure that you buy your flossers from trusted brands which might be more costly but worth it.
