This appliance is the finishing touch for cleaning your Teeth. It is second to having your standard water pic you use at home with you on vacations, or just a weekend away from home. I use this regularly because of my traveling and like how portable it is in the packing process.
I really think my gums are healthier and I am sure my mouth is cleaner as I go to bed. I floss first, then use the waterpik, then brush to leave the fluoride on my teeth as much as possible. It is amazing what flossing has missed.
