This is my 4th WATERPIK since the early 70. The first 2 I simply wore out. The third did not last too long. This 4th. one I really like the features and the portable vacation PIK .
My periodontist recommended that I use a water pik every day. Have been using this model for a few years. Upon research, a dentist said to put the speed on about 5-6 so that is what I do now. I used to have it on max, 10, but the on line dentist said that it might affect the gums that high. I am happy on 5 or 6. My mouth always feels so clean after I use the water pik. It only takes two minutes. The issue is consistency - sometimes hard to do, but that's not the water pik's fault, LOL.
I never really understood what a waterpik was for until it was recommended to me by a friend. I bought this about 3 weeks ago, it works so much better than floss. Had I known more about this product years ago, I believe I would not have the problems with my teeth that I do today. Highly recommend!
This product works great. I am amazed at the amount of food particles it removes and how great my gums feel after using it. It has a great assortment of cleaning tips and is so easy to use.
