The toothbrush is the most important mechanical tool to keep bacterial plaque in check. However, it only cleans 60% of a tooth’s surface. 

The interproximal area (the space between the teeth) accounts for the remaining 40%. Due to the build-up of bacterial plaque in the interproximal space, the main oral pathologies and problems such as tooth decay, periodontal disease and halitosis originate there. 

WATER FLOSSERS CLEAN THIS 40%, by removing both oral biofilm and the remains of food stuck between the teeth.
