{mosads}Dentists agree that flossing is one of the most important things you can do to take care of your oral health—even more important than brushing. But it’s also one of the least popular activities, and for obvious reasons: it can be difficult to do correctly, it often leaves even healthy gums sore, and it’s just kind of unappealing. One way to make flossing more pleasant (and effective) is by using a water flosser.

Enter the Dr. Bei Cordless Water Flosser Teeth Cleaner, which uses a water jet to simulate manual flossing. This portable oral care companion uses a 180ml water tank to create a high-pressure stream, at three adjustable levels to accommodate your mouth’s sensitivity, to blast food debris out of all the nooks and crannies. The 360-degree rotating nozzle is perfect for reaching the particularly difficult angles in the back of your mouth or accommodating difficult-to-clean braces, implants, bridges or crowns.

The electronics are sturdy as well: the 2,000mAh battery will go 25 to 30 days without a charge and will quickly recharge with an included USB cable. The device is completely waterproof, comes with a travel case for discreet portability, and is small enough to be thrown, last minute, into any bag for use on the go.

In addition to helping keep your pearly whites in good shape, flossing can reduce your long-term risk of heart disease, prevent serious oral infections more effectively than brushing, and stop tooth loss in its tracks. It also, of course, is the most effective way to remove plaque and protect your teeth’s overall longevity.
