# Flosser or Supplement > One tool cleans between teeth, the other claims to support balance. This guide compares them honestly and recommends starting with the basics. ## Guides - [How a Water Flosser Works](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/how-a-water-flosser-works/): A water flosser sends a thin, pulsing stream of water from a small tip into the spaces between teeth and along the gumline, flushing out loose debris. - [Water Flosser vs String Floss for Everyday Use](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/water-flosser-vs-string-floss/): Neither tool wins for everyone, so the water flosser vs string floss choice comes down to your teeth, your dexterity and which one you will actually use each. - [Why Cleaning Between Teeth Comes First](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/cleaning-between-teeth-first/): A toothbrush cannot reach all of the tight spaces between teeth, which is why cleaning between teeth first, before adding extras, is the sensible order. - [Choosing Interdental Brush Sizes](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/interdental-brushes-sizes/): Interdental brush sizes are not one-size-fits-all, because the gaps between your teeth vary from front to back. - [Adding a Supplement After Your Basics Are Solid](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/supplement-after-basics/): A supplement after basics is a sensible order of operations: brush with fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth, and keep dental appointments first. ## About - [About Flosser or Supplement](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/about/): not medical advice, how the site is funded and how guides are made ## Optional - [RSS feed](https://water-flosser-vs-supplement.diciky-2.workers.dev/feed.xml)
