New Dental Technology Field Tested by Austin Dentist

Austin Dental Center Doctor Tests Phillips Sonicare AirFloss At Home with Amazing Results

/EINPresswire.com/ There are few things more important in oral health care than proper brushing and flossing, and while most people never neglect to brush, flossing is an entirely different story. Phillips Sonicare AirFloss has just been released and it threatens to change that equation for the better. Does it actually work as well as it claims, though? Dr. John Glennon, an Austin dentist, recently had the chance to review the device and the technology behind it, and the final word on the subject is that it's perfect for a variety of patients.

The Problem With Flossing

For years, dentists have struggled to get patients to floss, and it's little wonder why. You simply don't instantly see the results with flossing that you do with other oral health care procedures, so many people neglect the process entirely. What's more, though, is that it can be difficult to do, and while alternatives like the Water Pik have been on the market for years, not enough people use them with any level of regularity.

The Phillips Sonicare AirFloss is very different from anything that's ever been released in the past. As fast as it is painless, the company suggests it creates a burst of water and air that helps to ensure even the biofilm between teeth is history. So, does it work? Dr. Glennon, with the Austin Dental Center, reviewed the product to learn more.

Extensive Testing

"I diagnose periodontitis on a routine basis," said Dr. Glennon. "I'm always on the lookout for a new tool that will help my patients who don't floss or have trouble doing so. When I saw the Phillips Sonicare AirFloss, I knew I had to try it."
For a month, Dr. Glennon incorporated it into his own oral health routine at home. The process itself is pretty simple. It holds two teaspoons of water or mouthwash in the reservoir, so you can fill it for two uses at a time. Position it correctly in your mouth, and hit the easy click button.

"As soon as you click, a powerful burst of air and water hits your mouth like nothing you've ever felt before, blasting biofilm and debris out of the way. It's easily the best clean I've felt at home in a long time," said Dr. Glennon.

So, is it technology that can actually help encourage patients to change their oral health care routine for better overall habits?

"Absolutely," said Dr. Glennon. "It's being marketed as one of the easiest ways to get dentists to encourage patients to better clean the spaces between teeth, and after trying it on my own, it's so simple and fun, I don't see why patients wouldn't use it."
