Irrigation systems are used to clean interdental spaces using jets of pressurized water. These systems can be used in place of dental floss to help patients care for their gums and the spaces between their teeth. Irrigation systems usually feature a water reservoir and a small nozzle that sprays the water in the desired interdental spaces. Some irrigation systems are also compatible with oral rinses and other oral care liquids. The jets of water are a less invasive way of providing care to these areas, and thus using an irrigation system can help improve a patient's home care habits and overall oral health. These systems can be especially helpful for patients dealing with periodontal issues. It's a good idea to know about irrigation systems so you can talk with patients who can benefit from the technology and answer any questions about the systems.
