Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / April 2007Dental Water Jet
Is Dental Water Jet safe to be used on children? I heard new permanent teeth in children's mouth are not completely developed and tooth are vulnerable. Will the Water Jet be too powerful for just erupted teeth? What do you want to accomplish with the device?  Signature/ Amatus / > Is Dental Water Jet safe to be used on children?

It will not remove plaque. Signature/ Amatus / >> What do you want to accomplish with the device? >> [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Flush between teeth and the molar grooves.

So I think this could help So does mine, but the water piq will not remove plaque so it's useless as a substitute. We got some blue flouride stuff for my kids (the name escapes me) in a kid-friendly package and once a week we use it to find the plaque (you swish it around for 10 seconds; it turns plaque blue so you can see it). When my son saw blue in the spaces between his teeth, he then WANTED to floss. While the dentists and surgeons here will be professional, I won't: As a parent, you need to be more stern with your children and educate them on what will happen if they DON'T floss. Remember, you don't have to floss every tooth -- only the ones you want to keep ;-) |
