After visiting the dentist and it was not good, even with brushing. Flossing, and listerene rinses. This told me that i just wasn't getting everything. Now that i have the Waterpik my mouth is cleaner and my teeth feel amazing everyday not just dental day.
My dental hygienist recommended I get one and use it with some Listerine in the water. I use it every night, love that it means a devoted 90 seconds at least in my oral care, and that my breath is much sweeter when I wake the next day.
I purchased this knowing it would be a wise hygenic move. However, I am amazed how much flossing my electric toothbrush doesn't do! My gums feel much healthier! Only negative. this unit has on/off switch which requires holding onto unit to engage. Newer models are push button.
being mid-forties and facing age related changes like receding gums/potential gingivitis, this product has made a spectacular change in my gums and teeth
