I have always had trouble flossing toward the back of my mouth because my mouth is so small. With the waterpik, I can easily get the proper flossing my gums need to reach where I wasn't able to reach before. Now, even my overall gum health is better, according to dentist. I'm so glad I invested in the waterpik!
I bought it for my 12 year old daughter. She don't like flossing her it. Her orthodontist was the one who recommended the waterpik. For a week of using it, her swollen gum improved. I liked the fact that it really work and flosses good. Two things that I hope it can improve in the future. One, I find it very noisy and loud. Second, it can get very messy and very wet.
