I'd thought about buying a waterpik for awhile now. I finally decided to buy it 2 weeks ago. I still floss and I use my waterpik before brushing. I'm going to purchase one for my mom and son. I would most definitely recommend this to a friend.
I have had the WaterPik for 3 weeks now and I can’t say enough good things about it. My teeth and gums feel so much better and so clean. I had been having very sensitive gums lately and this has helped with that. It is way more effective than string floss.
I had a similar Braun product over 40 years ago, I loved it, but my dentist back then insisted it was 'garbage!' My new dentist sells the Waterpik in her office and supports my using it. I love the 'extra clean' feeling I get using it.
