What Is a Top Flosser
A top flosser is a device, usually a water flosser, that cleans between teeth and along the gumline using a pressurized stream of water or pulsating fluid. It helps remove loose debris and plaque where brushes may miss.
How a Top Flosser Works
Most models use a small motor to pump water from a reservoir through a narrow tip. Users guide the stream along the gumline, between teeth, and around dental work. Regular use supports gum health and can reduce bleeding.
How to Choose the Best Top Flosser
Look for adjustable pressure settings, a large water tank, multiple tip options, and a reliable motor. Consider portability, noise level, and ease of cleaning. For clinical guidance on flossing tools, visit https://www.ada.org/resources/ada-library/oral-health-topics/flossing
