In the beginning, it was a process learning how to control the water but I got it down now. What is amazing to me is that even after brushing, the water pic still dislodges quite a few of food particles.
I recently had to get a second crown. And no matter how much I brush and floss, there always seems to be food impacted between the crown and adjoining teeth. The Waterpik gets that out and I no longer have a painful gum around the crown.
I use dental floss for years. It often hurt my gum or my lip. Recently I started using waterpik instead of floss,I felt waterpik does better job in cleaning then dental floss,it also massage my gum. I really enjoyjng using it.
