Many people encounter the problem of gum bleeding when they first use a water flosser. The first reaction of many people is that this water flosser is not good, it has caused my gums to bleed! Is it really the toothbrush that causes gum bleeding?
Causes of bleeding – understand the root cause
Some users may experience bleeding gums when using a water flosser for the first time. In fact, this is normal in many cases. Gum bleeding is usually caused by gingival inflammation or the sensitivity of the gums themselves. Using the high-pressure water flow of the water flosser can help remove food debris and plaque between teeth, but it may also irritate the already inflamed gums, causing bleeding. Therefore, if this happens, don’t worry too much, you can gradually adjust the frequency and intensity of use.
How to use the water flosser correctly – reduce the risk of bleeding
When using the water flosser for the first time, you can start with low-pressure mode to reduce the risk of bleeding. Then gradually adapt to it, and then gradually increase the water pressure. Maintain the correct posture and focus the water flow on the gap between the teeth and gums instead of directly impacting the gums. In addition, choosing the right nozzle is also key. Powsmart provides a variety of nozzles to meet the needs of different users, especially for users with more sensitive gums.
