This is the third Waterpik I have purchased because it reaches areas between my teeth that no toothbrush, electric or manual, can reach. The last one I purchased was a gift to my sister as she had a stroke and has some difficulty brushing.
I never really thought about buying this product until my dentist suggested it. I am So glad that I did. It does a great job keeping my teeth cleaner than clean.
I bought this WaterPik to replace one we've had for 5 years. The design of the last one caused mildew/mold to grow on the unit. Never recall having this problem with other units. We're hoping that this new one does not have the same issue.
I got my husband this WaterPic for Father's Day at the recommendation of our hygienist. We had never used one before. We don't have much counter space in the bathroom so I was pleased that this doesn't require very much space. we both love how clean it makes our teeth feel and wonder why we didn't get one years ago. This is easy to use and very self-contained. Having several strength settings is a nice feature. The water reservoir is easy to clean and fill.
A friend of mine suggested that I get a watwepik because I was getting braces within a few weeks, one of the best purchases I have made in a long time. I just love how clean it gets my gums and teeth. I especially enjoy the use of my waterpik because I was never a flosser to begin with, so it makes the whole flossing situation way quicker and definitely easier. I tell everyone about it because it has done such a great deal of good for me. If you're like me and you just couldn't get into flossing, the waterpik is a great alternative. Buy it! You'll love it.
