A lot of my friends have been pushing me to review this particular countertop water flosser. As a dentist, I have been accustom to recommending traditional dental floss to clean in between the teeth morning & night & I’ve heard a lot of mixed reviews regarding whether the waterpik can be used as an alternative to the string floss. So I decided this would be a good time to take a closer look into the product
This crazy contraption works by using pressurized water to effectively clean in between the teeth & the gums. The idea is that the water pressure will wash away the plaque & food debris that tend to get stuck in between our teeth
It took me quite some time to figure out how the pieces come together but I eventually made it work. This (holds reservoir) represents the waterpik reservoir which is typically filled to the brim with luke warm water. I would definitely avoid using cold water if your teeth have a tendency to be hypersensitive just like mine. After you have filled the reservoir, you have the option of picking from a variety of tips. This particular waterpik comes with 5 tip iterations which focus on hygiene for people with braces, implants & deep pockets. Waterpik did an absolutely awesome job with the design. A simple flick of the wrist allows you to interchange the tips with ease. On the side, we can see a round nob which toggles between different intensities of pressurized water. Each rotation of the dial increases the water pressure by 10 PSI. If you dare, bump it up to the highest setting but I would warn you, it is super powerful! The button below allows you to switch to a massaging mode where it shoots water out in intervals instead of a smooth continuous flow.
So now, I want to be able to show you guys at home how to operate this device. I have the machine filled to the brim & its on my preferred setting of 60 PSI. I prefer to orient the device in my mouth before turning the the tip on. I like to start from the lower right side of my mouth & angle it at the gumline one tooth at a time. If I want to spit, I turn the machine off and once I’m done i go back to where i left off until I’ve cleaned every area of the mouth. I’ve been using this product for about a week now & I have to admit that Im really enjoying it. I feel as though the pressurized water gets into those hard to reach spots & in general my mouth feels healthier & cleaner. I definitely see value for people who despise the traditional method of flossing or are unable to floss due to difficult motor control movements. The evidence based research has made it clear that the waterpik shouldn’t replace proper string flossing but it is an awesome alternative for those that feel like they need a better hygiene routine.
