Supporting patients through changes to their general and oral health brought on by the menopause is essential for all clinicians. This is possible with effective and reliable oral hygiene adjuncts, such as the Waterpik™ Cordless Advanced water flosser.
Patients can choose between 3 adjustable pressure settings, finding the control that works best for them. The water flosser eliminates up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas in just a three second application, making oral hygiene routines quick and thorough.[i]
Perimenopause patients are at an increased risk of periodontal diseases,[ii] so interdental solutions must be at their best to protect the oral biome. The Cordless Advanced is ideal, as it is proven to be up to 50% more effective at improving gum health than traditional dental floss.[iii]
