After a deep dental cleaning (think it is called root planing?) I want to start using the oral irrigator I bought a long time ago and never got into the habit of using.
Looking for opinions/suggestions on what to use in it aside from plain water? Or is plain water the best?
Also does anyone here think oral irrigators (you know, like a waterpik) are a bad idea?
I REALLY seriously never want to have to do another one of this kind of dental cleaning, but I did have some gingivitis starting down where my brushing and flossing just wasn't getting at it. Supposedly the gums will now heal up much tighter to the tooth roots. I'm a bit dubious, but I'll find out at my recheck in 6 weeks.
thanks,
