My dentist's hygienist recommended the Waterpik to fight tartar and help my gum health. I remembered Water Piks Fromm years ago. They were not easy to use. I decided to purchase one and give a try. To my surprise it was easy to set up and use. It works well and my gums and teeth are much better.
I bought my waterflosser a month ago, my mouth and gums are so healthy it is the best investment for my mouth, according to my dentist. Every body should have one.
I bought this after having periodontal work done at great expense and found it to really keep my teeth, gums and mouth cleaner than just brushing, rinsing and using floss.
This has become the perfect compliment to my teeth cleaning practice. Flossing and brushing leave small particles in the divots of my mouth between teeth. Waterpiks flushes all that right out. My teeth feel cleaner than before.
Glad I purchased this as it seems to be cleaning my gums better than traditional floss. I'll know for sure once I go for my next dental checkup. I do like this product but the water reservoir could've been better engineered/designed to hold more water without making the overall size much larger and the "retractable" cord stopped wanting to retract on it's own within 2 weeks of owning this product.
