I have gum disease, and this item helps keep my teeth healthy as I have abscesses, and don't want dentures. I suffer when food gets in between my teeth, and this is just the ticket to make my gums feel restored and fresh.
I bought the waterpik 450 after visiting the dentist & learning I had decay under my crown and talking to a friend who recommended the waterpik. I have been using it a month now and it's fantastic. The water jet truly knocks out the particles between your teeth and leaves your mouth feeling clean. I charged it once upon receipt and it's still going in a months time. I faithfully use my rechargeable waterpik 450 and look forward to use it everyday.
we have been using it for a few weeks - cleans really well but is sort of messy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

This rechargeable water pic is easy to use and powerful. In fact I use it after almost every meal and am surprised at what the tooth pick has missed. It takes up less room in your luggage for ease of taking it with you everywhere. I have been using water pic since 1964 and will continue to use it.
Bought this waterpik about a month ago and am not totally satisfied. It doesn't seem to have as much pressure as the one with attached water tube. This one is free of tube, but I don't feel cleans as well. It is handy not to have tube attached, but pressure issue could be reworked.
