My wife uses a waterpik and now I do, too. I saw what great results she achieved using the waterpik. Her dental hygienist was very impressed with her waterpik's deep cleaning of her periodontal gum problems and rewarded her by reducing her visits from 4 to 3 a year. I am looking forward to the same results for my gums and teeth!
I purchased this product recently and have been using it every day. It is a great product and really gets food out of my teeth, that a automatic tooth brush and flossing does not get. Would recommend it to any one.
Our son began using this model when he got braces. The first one lasted 4 years. When it quit working, we bought the same model but in a different color.
I purchased a month ago because it was time to bring my teeth back in shape. Love the unit, but portable unit sounds like a great idea, but it is not. It uses so much fluids that it needs to be filled at least 3X's and your head is in the sink the whole time.
Actually, this is my first water jet dental cleaner - At the advice of my hygienist, I was needing to purchase one, and she recommended this line - I am happy that I selected this model - just enough water supply to get a good cleaning/flossing, and love the additional tools that come with it - Unit is not as large as I thought; it fits well on the bathroom counter. - Would recommend!
The WaterPic is very effective in preventing periodontal issues. One suggestion is that the electrical cord should be retractible so that the pic can be easily stored when not in use
I was happy at first when I purchased, but the handle leaks a lot even on the holder and then the holder broke so soon I have to maneuver it to keep it upright and from leaking.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
