    Here are the general steps to use a water flosser:

    1- Fill the water flosser reservoir

    Fill the reservoir with warm water and, if desired, add a mouthwash or a recommended rinse solution.

    2- Choose a nozzle

    Select the appropriate nozzle for your needs. Most water flossers come with different tips for different purposes, such as a standard tip, orthodontic tip, or a plaque seeker tip.

    3- Adjust the pressure

    Adjust the pressure control to the desired level. If you are new to using a water flosser, start with the lowest pressure setting and gradually increase as needed.

    4- Lean over the sink

    Lean over the sink and place the nozzle in your mouth. Close your lips around the nozzle to prevent splashing.

    5- Aim and floss

    Aim the nozzle at your gumline, between your teeth, and around any dental work you may have, such as braces or bridges. Use a circular or back-and-forth motion to thoroughly clean the area.

    6- Spit out the water

    Spit out the water and repeat the process for each area of your mouth.

    7- Clean the nozzle

    After using, remove the nozzle and clean it with warm water and soap or vinegar.

    8- Empty the reservoir

    Empty any remaining water from the reservoir and wipe the water flosser dry.

    It’s recommended to use the water flosser once a day, along with regular brushing and flossing, to help maintain good oral health. Be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and consult with your dentist if you have any concerns.
