I’ve just ordered the Dental Air Force system a few days ago and I have a few questions before it arrives. Do you place the tip on your teeth directly, and do you run it over the whole surface of every tooth, or just where the teeth meet the gums? How would you do the chewing surfaces? Thanks a lot! Molly
Hello Molly
When using the system, imagine you are “painting” your teeth. You want to go around every tooth and along the gum line. It is most effective slightly away from the tooth and gum surface, because the air stream picks up the slurry that is already in your mouth and propels it toward your teeth. (In addition to the fresh slurry coming from the tip. At the end spray over the chewing surface of your teeth, your tongue, roof of mouth and cheeks. It is most critical that you do a thorough job between your teeth where most of the bacteria causing plaque resides and is the most difficult to remove.
