Pocket Care Irrigator (24g End-Port)

This is exactly what I was looking for. I have deep pockets and I worry flossing isnt enough. I also hate the water pick because I tend to be very messy with it. It is so thin it reaches all the deep areas but the down side to that is it's not a strong flow at all, even if I squeeze very hard. I suppose it is still irritating to a degree and getting medicated products into those areas which is good. Came with a lot of literature on oral hygiene, gingivitis and periodontal disease. Also a catalog of their products. Very helpful and informative. Gum health is so important, which I had found this sooner.

I like this pocket irrigator. For what it is, it's a bit over-priced. The tip is fragile, and it would be nice to have a replacement tip when this one wears out that comes in the package. OTOH, it's just what I wanted to get up into a serious periodontal pocket that needs a lot of attention.

Dentists have suggested swishing with antimicrobial liquid Peridex after flossing and brushing, but such swishing causes the teeth to darken and they remain so until the next professional teeth cleaning. However, a dentist once gave me this simple yet ingeniously designed pocket irrigator, whose needle-type tip delivers Peridex right between the teeth and gums, thus avoiding teeth darkening. As an added benefit, one uses much less of the expensive, prescription-issued Peridex. That irrigator lasted for several years but then the metal tip snapped. Not having access to the said dentist any longer, I searched "heaven and earth" to find a replacement, but without success. As a last resort I searched "good, old Amazon" and, lo and behold, the elusive contraption was there. Thank you, Amazon. Normally, I first check with Amazon when I need something, but I could not imagine that Amazon's collection was so humongously (pardon the expression) huge. No wonder Amazon grows by leaps and bounds while shopping malls shrink; let alone wasting gas, time and nowadays often dealing with poor service.

Helps to keep the deep gum pockets clean and healthy.

The spout/cannula/needle is much too narrow to give enough flow to effectively clean the gum area and also makes it easy to stick yourself if you are not careful. It is also way overpriced and is not a good value. One of the syringe models designed for the same purpose is much more effective and safer.

This gives convenient, pin-point access to an inflamed gum pocket which dental floss cannot reach. Over a few weeks the inflammation has diminished and the papilla between the teeth has regrown with daily application of an antibacterial solution after brushing. The little flexible bottle is easily maneuvered by one hand while the other hand spreads the cheek aside to expose the tender pocket in view of the bathroom mirror. Very pleased with this compared to other kinds of awkward syringes seen in the market.

I use this pocket irrigator to deliver a prescribed solution to isolated areas of my gums and it works great. I would imagine that people who are complaining about it being flimsy and breaking are handling it too roughly. I’ve never had that problem.
