Water Flosser
A water flosser or water pick removes food particles from the teeth and gums. It is also an effective method in reducing bleeding gums and diseases. Dentists recommend using water floss because it contributes to maintaining good oral health. However, water floss is not a substitute for brushing and flossing due to its inability to remove the visible film and plaque on the teeth. But water floss is a good method for reducing bacteria growth up to the gum line.
Doctors recommend a water flosser to dislodge the tonsil stones because it removes them without extreme force. This prevents gagging and other involuntary body reactions when it is uncomfortable. Another feature of the water flosser is its non-involvement of sharp or rigid objects, which makes it the safest non-contact method to remove tonsil stones.
These low-pressure water irrigators can loosen tonsil stones in the throat. Aiming the stones with water is the safest way to remove them. Remember to put the water flosser on the lowest settings only to produce a gentle stream of water.
