Keeping teeth clean after a root canal - anyone tried water flossers?
Discussion options
My dentist recommended I try a water flosser after my root canal, and honestly, it's been pretty great. Feels gentler than regular flossing, you know? Curious if others here had the same experience or prefer sticking to traditional floss.

Glad to hear it's working out for you! Honestly, I was super nervous after my root canal - like, terrified I'd mess something up. Regular flossing felt kinda harsh and made me cringe every time. Switched to a water flosser on a friend's suggestion, and it was such a relief... way gentler and less anxiety-inducing. Still occasionally paranoid I'm doing something wrong, but hey, baby steps, right? You're definitely not alone in preferring the gentler route.
