Safety of using a water flosser: analysis of the scientific literature
Since the introduction of the first water flosser, dozens of clinical studies have been conducted to evaluate its effectiveness and safety. These studies, published in recognized scientific journals, demonstrate that the JolieSmile water flosser is a safe and beneficial tool for oral hygiene.
Objective
This review of the scientific literature aims to examine the safety of the JolieSmile water flosser, based on independent clinical studies. The results show that the water flosser is not only effective in removing plaque and reducing gum inflammation, but also safe for the soft and hard tissues of the oral cavity.
Method
This analysis is divided into four sections, based on the available scientific evidence:
-
Histological results : Impact on gingival and periodontal tissues.
-
Subgingival pathogens : Effect on pathogenic bacteria.
-
Periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment levels : Impact on periodontal health.
-
Bacteremia : Risk of spreading bacteria in the blood.
Results
-
Histological results
Studies show that water flossers significantly reduce inflammation at the cellular level, without causing damage to gingival or periodontal tissue. A clinical study conducted on 105 subjects confirmed that water flossers are safe even at high pressures (up to 100 psi) [1]. -
Subgingival pathogens
The water flosser effectively removes subgingival pathogenic bacteria, even in deep periodontal pockets. Contrary to fears, it does not push bacteria deeper, but actively removes them [2]. -
Pocket depth and clinical attachment levels
Studies show a significant improvement in periodontal pocket depth and clinical attachment levels. This confirms that the water flosser does not compromise the integrity of periodontal tissues [3]. -
Bacteremia
The incidence of bacteremia (presence of bacteria in the blood) when using a water flosser is similar to that observed with tooth brushing or flossing. This confirms that the water flosser is safe even for people with periodontal problems [1].
Conclusion
The JolieSmile water flosser has been proven safe for teeth and gums. Clinical studies confirm that it is an effective and safe tool for improving oral health, with no reported negative side effects.
Results of clinical studies on the safety of the JolieSmile water flosser
