We have prepared an honest rating of the best oral irrigators in 2020 and previous years. The TOP includes stationary and portable models, only proven devices with positive reviews. You can safely choose any of the selection. Each irrigator is the best in its price segment. Oleg Vladimirovich Yakovlev, the dentist of the children's polyclinic, helped to make a selection.

An irrigator is a personal hygiene device. During use, it comes into contact with mucous membranes and gums. Therefore, each family member will need to purchase their own separate attachment. It is not necessary for everyone to buy their own device.

Output

The choice of the type of irrigator - portable or stationary - depends on the conditions in which it will be used and the needs of its owner.

For cleaning the oral cavity at home, it is better to buy a stationary model. It is convenient for the whole family, since mains power eliminates the need for constant battery recharging. For high-quality cleaning of dentures, braces or crowns, it is recommended to choose a device with a special attachment.

For children and people with gum disease, it is better to choose a model with a more gentle mode of operation.

If there is not enough space in the bathroom to install a stationary irrigator, then you can purchase a portable one. For one person, a mid-range model is suitable, and for the whole family it is better to purchase a portable device with a capacious battery.

The effectiveness of irrigation cleaning depends on the frequency of use of the device. Even the most expensive and high-quality model will not help you get an excellent result if it is not used regularly.
