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

Note! The advantages of the Panasonic EW 1411 irrigator are as follows:

To be absolutely objective, we must also mention the disadvantage of this model - a small water tank .

Keep in mind! 130 ml is not enough to completely irrigate the mouth, so it will have to be refilled twice.

Instructions for use

It is recommended to divide the oral cavity into zones and clean them sequentially. Particular attention should be paid to hard-to-reach places. The head should be slightly tilted over the sink so that water flows freely from the mouth. To prevent splashes of water from scattering in all directions, you need to slightly purse your lips.
  6. After completing the procedure, the device must be turned off and put back in place.

Using an irrigator does not replace brushing your teeth with a toothbrush .

The frequency of use of the irrigator for therapeutic procedures should be determined by a doctor, but if the device is used for preventive purposes, it should be used 3-4 times a week.

Remember! If a child uses an irrigator, adults should carefully control this process.

Separately, it should be said about the operating modes of this model :

  3. Normal Air In with microbubbles - for massaging gums and cleaning the oral cavity.
  4. Soft Air In with microbubbles – gentle gum massage, suitable for caring for sensitive teeth.

It is not advisable to use dental floss on the days you use an irrigator , as you can damage your gums.

What attachments are included?

The kit includes two standard color-coded attachments .
They thoroughly clean the areas between the teeth from plaque and food debris and also massage the gums well .

Suitable for cleaning corrective appliances and dentures.

Nozzles need to be changed once every 3 months.

If you have a special sterilizer , you need to purchase new attachments every 6 months .

Remember! If the device is used incorrectly, the nozzles may become clogged.

To prevent this from happening, the Panasonic EW 1211A must be filled with water purified from impurities , without adding tooth powders or pastes to it.

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.”
