I bought my second waterpik after we moved here, to Corpus Christi, Texas. It keeps my teeth clean, especially after eating, and I use it to hydrate my mouth in the morning after I awaken. It is a great tool.
This waterpik does a very good job of flossing my teeth and gums. I got it to clean out a pocket on back teeth and it does that task well. It is definitely more effective at cleaning than floss for me.
Within two weeks of using product, I noticed how healthy my gums started to feel. I have severe dental sensitivity and this product has made a very noticeable improvement in the sensitivity in a short time. It can only get better with continued use. Can't wait to see what my dentist says! I love the "just from the dentist" feeling I get after using the device. I find myself using it more than once per day because my teeth and gums feel so good afterwards.
My original cordless Waterpik bit the bullet recently. The flosser I recently purchased is not cordless, but that didn't matter, because I never wandered around with the unit while flossing. ocisre
I use the waterpik every night. I'm able to not use toothpicks or dental floss on a consistent basis, because the waterpik does such a good job cleaning my teeth and gums daily.
