I bought this on the recommendation of my dentist because I have two bridges and food was constantly getting lodged in the area surrounding the anchor teeth. Flossing was not successful in removing this which causes great pain instantaneously. This Waterpik has alleviated that situation entirely and most pleasantly. Very easy to use and came with just the right picks for cleaning my gum area around the bridges. It is a bit noisy. I recommended this to a friend who promptly went and bought the same one.
My dentist recommended a Water Pik because I am having some gum issues. WOW. My teeth have never felt better and cleaner. I have always flossed but this took regular flossing to a whole new level. Love, love, love this little machine.
