In 2001, 91.0% of the population were born in Northern Ireland, 7.2% were born in other parts of the UK and Ireland, and 1.8% were born elsewhere. By 2011, the number of immigrants from outside the UK and Ireland had risen to 4.3%, while the number born within them fell to 6.7%.
The science supports what professionals have been seeing chair-side for years. The WaterpikÂ® Water Flosser is an easy and more effective alternative to string floss. Clinical studies show that the Water Flosser is up to: 51% more effective than dental floss for reducing gingivitis.
However, my first choice for my patients is to floss, followed by waterpik, then brush. If you CAN floss, then do so. A waterpik is not a substitute for you. By the way, healthy gums will NOT bleed. If you are consistently getting bleeding when using floss or a waterpik you need to tell your dentist or hygienist. While you are there, be sure to demonstrate your flossing technique to your hygienist so she can âcoachâ you.
