Recommended by our dentist and hygienist. Bought an electric toothbrush and the Water-Pik 100. Does a plenty good job at the 2nd lowest pressure setting. I have a lot of bridgework and getting under them has always been a chore but it is now very easy. The setup of the unit and use is easy but maybe a bit messy getting used to it, but three times is the point of learning. Shall make good use of it. Can hardly wait for my next scheduled exam in November to see what the hygienist has to say.
My dentist recommended this to me since I refuse to floss. I was astounded how many food particles were hanging around my mouth that brushing never got rid of. I now use it after every meal/snack I eat at home!!!
I bought this a month and half ago.....when I got braces...I am 67 years old and never used one before....I do like it a lot since it massages my gums and it cleans debris stuck in my braces....I literally could not live without my waterpik...I did get the portable one to start with but it never seemed to have enough pressure and now it doesnt work hardly at all...very disappointed in it....do you have any recommendation on how to clean it more thoroughly....would love to have it for travel days.......
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thank you for your feedback. We do have cleaning instructions in the Instant Answers section of our website: https://www.waterpik.com/oral-health/product-support/instant-answers/
I have been a fan of Waterpik for years. I have made sure my children have one too! Just bought the slightly smaller one in Black, Look so great in the bathroom. No need to hide it away. Be careful, a guest may walk away with it. I couldnt believe I found it by accident in Target. Thank you waterpick.
The last Water Pik that I had was a very early model, and I remembered that it worked well. After recently suffering a dental abscess I decided that there was a gentler, more thorough way of getting my mouth clean, so I bought a new Water Pik. I brush and floss thoroughly, but the Water Pik finds small particles that have gotten missed by even floss. Use it every time that you brush and you'll never regret it. It's very easy to keep clean and in good working order as well.
