Why is flossing with water better than string floss?

When it comes to oral health, brushing alone isn’t enough. Flossing is essential—but not all flossing methods are created equal. Traditional string floss has long been the standard, but water flossing is quickly becoming the preferred choice for many. Here's why switching to a water flosser like LustraJet might just be the best move for your smile.


1. Gentler on Gums

String floss can often cause irritation or bleeding, especially if you're too aggressive or have sensitive gums. Water flossers use a gentle yet powerful stream to clean between teeth and below the gumline—without pulling or scraping. That means less discomfort and less risk of gum damage.


2. More Effective Plaque Removal

Water flossers can reach areas that string floss can’t, including deep between teeth and slightly below the gumline. Studies have shown that water flossers can be up to 29% more effective at removing plaque and reducing gingivitis than string floss.


3. Faster and Easier to Use

Let’s be honest—traditional flossing can be tedious. A water flosser like LustraJet takes less than 60 seconds to thoroughly clean your mouth. No more struggling with tight spaces, awkward angles, or wasting string. Just point, press, and rinse.


4. Ideal for Braces, Implants, and Crowns

Traditional flossing is often difficult or even impossible for people with dental work. Water flossing is not only easier—it’s safer and more effective at cleaning around brackets, wires, and dental restorations.


5. Creates a Spa-Like Experience

Unlike dry string floss, water flossing actually feels good. It massages your gums, improves circulation, and leaves your mouth feeling fresh—like you just walked out of the dentist’s office.


If you’re looking to upgrade your oral care routine, water flossing is the modern solution. With LustraJet, you get power, precision, and elegance—all in one beautifully designed device.

Ditch the string. Choose the jet. Your smile will thank you.
