I had my black air floss for 3yrs & I dropped it & it broke. When I researched to find replacement the cost of it was coming in at £200-£300 which is absolutely crazy, I paid £60 from Boots. So now I will try the power flosser.

[@SN-yn6it]

Thank you for this, I was considering ditching my airflosser, but I will stick with it until it breaks.

[@alvinliu1102]

Missing my AirFloss, it was broken.

Since a few days, my Airfloss isn’t turning on anymore. Not sure I’d like the Power Flosser as a replacement since it does seem rather messy. It does seem to clean better. But given that I wouldn’t even use the Airfloss every day, I’m not sure about it. But I might want to have something as I can already see the tartar build up on my lower teeth since I last went to see a dental hygienist about 2 months ago. Or maybe I can ask if it’s possible (and worth the tradeoff) to have my retainer wire removed.

[@noralights3997]

Hello which one is the best oral b water floss or Philips’s ? And why ? Thank you

[@ElectricTeeth]

I would avoid Oral-B water flossers. They only make a couple and they are not very good. The Philips best one is either the countertop 3000 or the cordless 300 if you don't want wires. They produce the best cleaning results and value for money.

[@OmarLivesUnderSpace]

To be precise, it's 15 ml for AirFloss I owe a Oclean W1 myself and ain't sure its "burst" technic is actually more efficient than classic stream...

[@rongli7051]

Does Philips 3000 have strong water pressure? Thanks!

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes it does. Philips haven't released the exact figures to compare it to others, but it certainly feels comparable to other flossers I have used.

[@haileycooper6252]

Are there any other air flossers available that work similiar to sonic air floss?

[@ElectricTeeth]

Not that I know of.

[@IsabelleRoseart]

Philips Sonicare airfloss Is it suitable for people with sensitive tooth enamel? please answer me

[@ElectricTeeth]

Yes it should be fine on the lower setting, but you can't easily buy the Airfloss anymore.

This is a great video. I would be curious to know if you’d be willing to speculate as to why the Airflosser is being discontinued (though I realize Philips is mum on the matter). I know the build quality was said to be lacking, but what I’m more worried about is if the technology itself is fundamentally flawed. I suspect that the mixture of air and water within the machine had a tendency to introduce residue. I wonder if bubbles would distribute residue to the recesses of the internal vessels of the device, which would then dry. In a way, if you take the instrument as an analogy for the human body, it would accumulate “embolisms” (if you will). This is a shame, because I do think that we need to elevate our means of bringing bacterial populations in the mouth to heel. Let’s face it, bacteria didn’t get to where they are today by turning and running by being shot off by pulsating jets of water. That’s why they form biofilms. We need to use some sort of conditioned water that deviates from their evolutionary environment, without hurting our mouths or course. Anyway, thanks for this video. Sorry if I sort of went off the reservation a bit there but I’ve recently realized the implications that dental hygiene have for the human condition and my thoughts seem to be undergoing a sea change. Have a nice day.

Hi Ben. I know there have been many comments about the reliability of AirFloss. I've had 2 units. 1 was easily 4 years old (then failed) and the other now only about a year old. I don't know, but I speculate it is easier to compete with other brands like Waterpik when you take the same approach (continuous jets of water) rather than a different approach. Harder to market and sell the differences otherwise. Thus they can sell more water flossers if they work in the same way as the likes of Waterpik.

[@AC-kf2ky]

It’s a piece of crap. The air floss is very faulty and doesn’t last more than a few months. I really like it but not worth the cost

[@bluegrass571]

@@AC-kf2ky I appreciate the info. I hope they can perfect the technology and reintroduce it at some point maybe even in a less portable model. Have you tried Philips power water flosser?

[@AC-kf2ky]

@@bluegrass571 I ordered it last night because the air flosser is broken. I should've gotten a water flosser all along because it does a better job of getting under the gum line than the air flosser which just goes in between teeth. Hopefully the phillips water flosser is good because i got the 3000 model but there's also a 5000 and 7000 which is so dumb.

[@bluegrass571]

@@AC-kf2ky I'm sorry to hear that the air flosser didn't work out. It did sound innovative but if it isn't durable than that's a shame, especially coming from a reputable company like Philips. I was going to say that the Power Flosser 3000 is cordless, but it looks like the cordless and corded models have the same name. That is very confusing. I hope the new water flosser works out for you. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

[@rogerarnold7262]

The power flosser uses too much mouthwash, you can easily get through 250ml.
