I was having regular gum irritation, and bleeding resulting from food particles embedding under the gum line. This was recommended by my dental hygienist. I was skeptical before using it, but upon using it, I was surprised how many particles are removed by it, even when flossing first. No more gum issues.
I've had a Waterpik for years and loved it but it was time to update and am so glad I did. I love the new one as well. I have had a lot of dental work over the years and this unit helps tremendously between, under and around those areas.
I bought this water pik because I gave the one that I had for 5 years to my grandson since he got braces. His mouth was hurting him and I felt he would benefit from it. I ordered me another one. Love it. It is the best. Excellent @ cleaning teeth, gums, tongue. Lasts a long time. Very sound appliance.
Bought this two months ago and it is used several times daily! The water reservoir is a bit smaller than our last one but it is easier to move around and clean.
