[edit] Claim of harm from irrigator

According to brief internet research, there is a debate about whether the water pick is effective in removing plaque from teeth. Some sites claim that it is actually dangerous because it forces bacteria into systemic circulation, or even damages gums. It would be interesting to have some comment on this here. --68.161.77.219 01:01, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed the following piece of text as it not only lacks verification but is flagrant advertising of a product:

"Some oral irrigators (such as HydroFloss and Oxycare 3000) ionize the water, claiming better cleaning; they are also called "hydromagnetic"."
