My dentist recommended that I ad a waterpik-type device to my dental regiment along with the deep cleaning I received at the dentist. I used an antibiotic rinse for two weeks and the Waterpik nightly for 4 weeks. At my follow up appointment, my gums/pockets had improved dramatically so the combination of treatment and waterpik has been a huge help.
Having had an earlier version of a Waterpik......I'm really happy with my new Ultra. What pleases me most is the extended period of time that I'm able to floss vs my old one. Especially since I've recently completed having some dental implant work done.
I've used the WaterPik for over 10 years now. I just replaced my original one and love to use it daily. For years now, my dentist has praised my tooth and gum health and she attributes my positive checkups and cleanings to my WaterPik.
Easy to use, powerful, setting features are great - (power setting / on-off / pause button) all make for ease of use. Included with this set are multiple tips that are very easy to change (pop/snap in & out).
