“I’m passionate about Directed Water Irrigation because it works!”
Dr. Chuck
Directed Water Irrigation (DWI) uses a physics phenomenon called the Venturi effect. Think of it not as a power washer but more like a vacuum cleaner. The suction that’s created next to the flowing water removes bacteria from under your gum tissue and from in between your teeth.
Let’s put this power to work for you everyday!
Here’s how:
Here’s how:
Brush for two minutes with a soft nylon or an electric toothbrush. Save a step and brush in the shower. Electric toothbrushes are designed to get wet! Then use your Shower Breeze or any other water irrigation device.
Use as warm of water as you can comfortably tolerate. Aim the irrigation tip DIRECTLY BETWEEN your teeth, in the space you would floss; not up into your gums. "Shoot the gap" for FIVE full seconds. (Keep the pressure all of the way on high, or as high as you can comfortably tolerate and work your way up as you get healthier.)
Move on to the next space.
Note: You only need to go around your mouth on the outside of your teeth. It is not necessary to use DWI on the inside and outside of your teeth.
