I bought this after a recommendation from my dental hygienist. What a positive difference I'm experiencing! Each day I look forward to using it and my teeth appear so much better daily because I hate flossing.
I was having issues with a root canal and my dentist recommended I use a Water Pik since I couldn't get in to see him immediately. I use a Sonicare toothbrush and floss, but I found that when I started using the WaterPik my tooth quit hurting. The dentist adjusted the crown, which a different dentist had done and no more problems! I will continue to use the WaterPik, as it seems more important the older I get.
My new water Pik is my third. I like the new design, which makes it more functional and easier to clean. Water Pik is a must for me to maintain a healthy mouth and gums.
