TUREWELL Oral Irrigator

I would just like to say that everyone should be able to own a water flosser. Save your money and buy this if you have been considering getting a Waterpik. It’s literally the same exact thing. Comes with a large selection of water flosser heads for all of your dental needs which can be conveniently stored in the top lid. Pressure settings are adjustable at the turn of a knob. The tank comes out of the base for easy water refilling in the sink. I love how this one has a rubber stopper that keeps water from leaking out when you remove the tank as well. My old one did not have this. No need to remove this rubber stopper, it opens up when you stick it back into the base. I will say I don’t normally even need to fill the tank all of the way because you should only need to use about half of it per session. I like to empty my tank and run the flosser until most of the water is out. I think this keeps it in optimal condition plus I like to fill it with warm water each time. But you could technically fill the tank and just use what you need, saving the rest for next time. I like that it comes in black because it looks a lot nicer than the white in my opinion. I feel like white dental tools just make me think of a dentist’s office or something. Black fits my bathroom aesthetic a lot better. The tube connecting the removable flosser from the tank/base is very long which is super convenient and comfortable to use at the sink. I also LOVE that it has little suction cups at the end which keeps the base perfectly in place while I use it. Such a small but genius addition to something like this because my last one did not have that. It only had little rubber feet which made the whole thing move around while I was using it. It plugs into the wall like normal and works incredibly. 10/10 on everything, truly. This was an absolute life saver when I had braces too. I don’t think anyone should ever get braces unless you have one of these because you will never be able to keep your teeth properly clean without it. This leads to severe plaque build up, cavities and gum disease. If you don’t properly care for your teeth when you have braces, they will be very yellow and you’ll have lighter colored dots on your teeth where the brackets were glued on to. My brushing routine goes as follows: -Water flossing -Oil pulling -Brush teeth and tongue with my Sonicare electric toothbrush -Tongue scraping -Normal flossing (I sometimes use mouthwash when I feel like I need to but I try to do it very frequently as it can kill good bacteria in your mouth hence why I do oil pulling more often instead) I’m not perfect and will sometimes skip out on steps now and then but this is a regime I found that truly actually works incredibly for me and it’s really kept both my teeth/gums healthy. But keep in mind, this does NOT replace regular flossing. You still need to work normal floss up between the gums around your teeth. The water flosser simply shoots out any food that may be harder to get out with regular string floss. Because likewise, I have noticed that I can’t get all of the gunk out of my mouth completely with only brushing and flossing. Everything goes hand in hand. I really wish dentists taught me more about everything I had to learn on my own. But, I guess they wouldn’t make as much money if everyone had perfectly healthy teeth and gums, right? That’s how I feel anyways. It truly is up to us to look after ourselves because at the end of the day, the only person who will be able to care for you in these ways is yourself. My final, and in my opinion, most important piece of advice to give you is do NOT use this flosser at the highest pressure setting. This will lead to receding gums because the pressure damages your tissues. I feel like if I could make one complaint about most water flossers, it would be this. You shouldn’t ever need to have it at the highest pressure setting. I use it at the low or medium pressure for the most part. Please trust me on this as I’ve experienced slight receding when I first started using one of these years ago because I’d use a higher pressure.
