Oral lavage system

An oral lavage system is a device designed to clean teeth, gums, and other oral tissues by delivering pulsed jets of liquid (like water or mouthwash) to remove debris and plaque. It helps maintain oral hygiene by reaching areas that traditional brushing or flossing may miss, including braces, implants, or hard-to-reach gum lines. These systems are often used at home or in dental offices for thorough cleaning.

These devices are typically sold over-the-counter without a prescription, making them accessible for home use. They consist of a base unit with a reservoir and pump, paired with handheld applicators tailored for specific oral areas. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their intended use and risk level, ensuring safety and performance standards are met.
