The Panasonic EW 1411 dentacare handy irrigator is designed for effective cleansing of teeth and the entire oral cavity using a pulsating stream of water .
This device greatly facilitates the care of crowns, braces, fixed dentures and other orthodontic structures in the mouth.

Model features

Stay up to date! The Japanese corporation Panasonic is a recognized leader in the world market, specializing in the production of household appliances.

Without false modesty, the EW 1411 model from this company can be called the best portable device for maintaining proper oral cleanliness.

Its compact size allows you to easily take it with you on trips.

It effectively cleans teeth and gums, eliminates bad breath, and allows you to visit the dentist less frequently for dental treatment.
The main feature of Panasonic EW 1411 irrigators is a powerful stream of water , which not only effectively cleans hard-to-reach areas in the oral cavity, but also provides gum massage.
The irrigator has several operating modes, and its power source is a battery.

Prices

The irrigator is not a cheap device. Its cost in pharmacies and specialized stores varies from 4,600 to 7,000 rubles.

Its average price compared at various points of sale is presented in this table:

Some users note the high price of the EW 1211 model as its significant drawback. But considering all the advantages of the device, it is justified.

Indications for use

It is worth noting! Almost all dental ailments are considered indications for the use of an oral appliance, and it is also recommended to be used for preventive purposes.

The effectiveness of the device has been proven for the following diseases:

1. Periodontal diseases. Inflammation of the gums most often occurs in the absence of high-quality hygiene; plaque accumulates on the gums and irritates them. Periodontitis is an irreversible pathology characterized by the destruction of gum tissue. It is impossible to stop it, but an irrigator will help slow down these processes.
2. Prevention of caries. Even the most thorough brushing cannot 100% guarantee the prevention of this very common dental disease. Therefore, the irrigator is recommended to be used not only by adults, but also by children over 6 years of age.
3. Pathologies of the mucous membrane. In this case, it is recommended to add infusions of medicinal herbs or special medications to the water container.

Advantages of the Panasonic EW 1411

Reviews

Below are some customer reviews. If you have something to say, leave your feedback in the comments below the article, it will be useful to our readers.

Ilyin Alexander, 35 years old. Rybinsk.

Tired of constantly going to the dentist and enduring painful procedures during dental treatment. I decided to purchase an oral irrigator.

I really trust Panasonic, so I immediately paid attention to its models. Panasonic EW 1411 was the best choice.

I've been using the device for three months now, and I'm quite pleased with it. The water pressure is satisfactory for now, but I think that over time I will want it stronger.

I’m very pleased that the charge lasts for a long time; you don’t have to charge the battery before each use.

Lykova Anastasia, 28 years old. Orel.

The Panasonic EW 1411 irrigator cleans the interdental spaces well and holds a charge for a long time. If you use the device once a day, the battery lasts for 2 weeks.

I consider the lack of a charge indicator to be a disadvantage; once every two weeks you just have to set the device for 12 hours. It is also inconvenient that you have to add water during the procedure, but in all other respects it is a very good purchase.

Gorchaevskaya Veronica, 43 years old. Leningrad region.

This is my first irrigator, and I'm quite happy with it so far.

But having studied this topic in more detail, I realized that there are devices with different nozzles, with the function of cleaning the nozzles, with a larger water tank, with a more powerful jet, and so on.

For those who are just starting to use this device, the Panasonic EW 1411 is an ideal option, but then it will probably have to be replaced with a more advanced model.

Makarova Irina, 26 years old. Ulan-Ude.

I purchased the irrigator to treat gums. Despite the fact that everyone complains about the small volume of the water container, it is quite enough for me.

And the pressure is optimal; for my weak gums I use the most gentle mode.

I'm not a fan of a lot of features, so the simple and easy-to-use Panasonic EW 1411 suits me just fine.

Small tank

This is perhaps the only drawback. But we cannot ignore it, since we consider the model carefully and impartially. The device, as we found out, is very ergonomic - this is a plus on the one hand, and a minus on the other. Because of this quality, you will have to pour water several times in one procedure to clean the entire mouth.

A small reservoir may be the only drawback of this irrigator

“I bought a Panasonic 1211, the price is not small, it bites: about 6,000 rubles. But you have to pay for a brand, and this is still Japanese quality, which has proven itself over the years. And it looks very fashionable and stylish. In terms of features, it has everything you need to clean your teeth and gums. I even treat my little daughter’s mouth with it; under supervision, I believe that this can and should be done.”
