I have not had a Water Pik since I had braces in Junior High School. 30 some years later I bought one due to a recommendation buy my dental hygienist. Feels great between my teeth and hopefully will help with a couple of deep pockets I have.
The hand unit is comfortable to hold, but when turning on, it automatically starts squirting water, and I have squirted myself and the mirror many times not always having my finger on the blue pause button. Redesign?
I bought this waterpik because I had some dental work that would require me to use a waterpik to keep my teeth as clean and plaque free as possible. I was surprised to find out how much I enjoy using my Waterpik. It helps to keep my teeth very clean and healthy along the gum line and between my teeth. The feeling I have in my mouth after using it reminds me of the clean fresh feeling you have after a professional teeth cleaning. Very glad I purchased this Waterpik!
