Anyone who knows will me will know how important my teeth are to me and my mobid fear of false teeth (yes it is a real thing). So when the lovely people at Philips sent me a trio of teeth care products to try and test out, I couldn't wait to get stuck in. Most people will know Philips for their brand of electric toothbrushes, shavers and hair care removal, but they have a whole lot more products to be discovered.
The product I have absolutely loved using is the Philips Sonicare AirFloss which is proven to improve gum health and removes up to 99.9% of plaque that brushing misses and we all know it is often hard to reach the food traps in your mouth and between your teeth with just a toothbrush and if you cannot and do not remove them, it can lead to bad breath and further issues. I am one of those people who does floss regularly but using this device is on a whole new level of leaving your mouth feeling absolutely clean, I was quite shocked at the difference.

The Philips Sonicare AirFloss takes just an extra 30 seconds in your oral hygiene routines. It comes with a water chamber which is located within the handle. To fill, you simply flip it open to fill directly from the tap, or if you prefer, mouthwash. I personally use mouthwash within the chamber because I feel it gives me a much better clean and is more effective, plus I like how it makes my teeth and gums feel. Before you can use your Airfloss, you need to charge it using the Sonicare base and once charged it has up to three weeks of battery life, perfect for taking away with you on holiday and long weekends away.
The AirFloss has what is described as an angled nozzle head and it uses MicroBurst technology which applies a quick burst of pressurised air and micro-water droplets to clean deep between your teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach. The nozzle has a tiny head which you place as close as you can between gaps in your teeth and as close to your gums as possible, then simply press the button on the handle, this then shoots the air and liquid into those gaps and the first time I used it, I wasn't quite expecting the blast to be quick. When using, you do have to manually press the button each time you use the airflosser, there is no button to leave it running and this is because you manually move the airflosser around your mouth and it isn't firing liquid constantly.
Using the Airfloss doesn't hurt in the slightest and I find it much easier to use than dental floss and so much so, I no longer use it, instead my routine now uses the Airfloss because it is so much quicker, much more effective and I do love my gadgets. That said, the overall feeling of a fresh, clean mouth is also a bit of a confident boost.
