At the suggestion of my Periodontist, I purchased this WaterPik Water Flosser and wish my General Dentist would have recommended this a long time ago. I've only had it for 3 weeks and, while not proficient in its use at this point, I don't think my gums/teeth have been this clean since my last Dental Hygienist cleaning about 4 weeks ago. Great product and I highly recommend it to those that are still using string floss!
I have used the waterpik machines for over 30 years (I'm on my third) and have been more than satisfied with the product. Great checkups at the dentist and the machine lasts for years given that is used on a daily basis. Highly recommend this product.
My spouse and I have been using a WaterPik for over 2 years and we are on our second unit. The product is great in that it gets rid stuff that is hard to get with a brush. Be prepared to buy replacement nozzle pieces though because after about 7 months of use the crimping on the hose gets loose causing the nozzle assemply to leak. Replacement nozzles are about $15 to buy on-line only. Never saw replacement parts in a store.
I bought the waterpik for my Grandson who just got braces. It is amazing. We could tell after one “practice” use that his teeth were visibly cleaner. Not only cleaned his teeth but his mouth hurt much left after use. We had the Waterpik setting on 2. I bought two more within a week for my other Grandchildren.
