AquaCare (Water Flossing)
AquaCare, also known as water flossing, is a modern dental cleaning technique that uses a gentle stream of water to remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria from between teeth and along the gumline. It is an effective and comfortable alternative or addition to traditional flossing, helping to maintain a healthier mouth and gums.

● Patients with braces, implants, crowns, or bridges
