Re: beyondhom periodontal

Hi Leilanae

The only adaptors like this are rubber ones, and the pressure is not great. Permanent ones don't exist, to my knowledge, unless the basin comes with taps like this.

It's an idea, but as I said before, I know that I would get fed up with having to attach this to my basin every time I cleaned my teeth!

I think the only viable answer is a battery operated one, but the reviews are mixed.

I shall ask my hygienist and she what she says. At the moment, I don't have any problems, as the TePes are doing a good job.

Thanks for all your input - it's been very instructive.

  Do you mean a shower adaptor? 


Not sure what a shower adaptor is?

  Would you still maintain the pressure needed? Usually the pressure drops, doesn't it?


Would think the pressure would increase as there would be an increase in flow as both hot and cold would be flowing thru.


Maybe a "permanent adaptor", giving a mixed hot/cold flow and then you could attach a dental flosser when needed.  This would
solve the ice cold water in the winter.  


   like this:   hot      cold
                          Y
                 mixed hot/cold (permanent)
                 attach dental flosser when needed

    Hi Leilanae

    This looks really good, but I don't have a mixer tap in my bathroom either. And the water from the cold tap (in winter at least) is freezing! A shame.


  A "Y adapter" could solve this.

    Would this be helpful?
