that persists for more than two weeks may be indication of
an abnormal condition of your gums, such as periodontal
disease. In this case, stop using the oral irrigator and consult
your dentist.

Tips of use
► nterdental cleaning
• Direct the water jet onto the space
between the teeth.
• Direct from the front and rear sides
of the teeth.
• With the water jet, the space
between the teeth that cannot
be reached with a toothbrush is
cleaned thoroughly, and the dirt
trapped in periodontal pockets is
removed completely.
In addition, effective care
is provided for the gums
by comfortable intermittent
stimulation.
► Periodontal pocket cleaning
• Aim the water jet at the space
between teeth and gums.
• Slowly shift the water jet along the
gums.
• Clean the front and back of the teeth
and behind the molars as well.
• If you are concerned about sensitive
gums, clean with a gentle water jet
setting.
► Gums care
• Stimulate the gums with the water jet.
• If you are concerned about sensitive
gums, stimulate with a gentle water
jet setting.
