Boost your DentistryIQ: The benefits of water flossing

June 30, 2021
Why is Machell Hudson, RDH, such a passionate believer of water flossers? Because she's seen solid results in her patients' oral and systemic health. Find out why your practice needs this tool.

As part of a collaborative care team, Machell Hudson, RDH, believes she helps improve her patients’ quality of life every day. She strives to share her success with her fellow dental professionals, and one of the tools she’s most enthusiastic about is the water flosser.  

She says it’s important to instill the value of their dental appointments in the minds of patients. By doing so they’ll listen to and follow through with the dental team’s home care regimen. In Hudson’s case this includes “prescribing” home care, not “recommending" home care. She says one of the biggest mistakes dental professionals make is giving patients options.

Her favorite items to prescribe? The iO electric toothbrush and Oral-B water flosser. Hudson has seen major improvements in her patients who follow their home care prescriptions. She explains to Dr. Pamela Maragliano-Muniz what sets the Oral-B water flosser apart from others, and why it should become part of your practice's armamentarium.
