I've heard of these devices for years but 2 of our children have orthodontic devices now. Their dentist recommended a water pik to help with cleaning of those devices. We purchased one with a WP-100 as well as a travel version. My husband and I are using the WP-100 and we love the results. Our mouths feel so much cleaner after use. We still need to floss but frequently get some little bit with the pik that could not be found with floss alone.
I like the adjustable water pressures while first getting started with the unit. My dental hygienist suggested this type of product because I hate to floss and my gums were showing the effects. This works for me.
This product has so many different attachments I have not even used all of them yet! I use warm water due to severe sensitivity which the pulsating water feels great along my gum line removing anything my toothbrush missed. Adjustable power settings to adjust to your liking.
I’ve had gum surgery previously twice for periodontal disease but since using the water pic for the last 8 years my gums are in good shape with no bleeding. Flossing alone doesn’t remove food particles from around the gums. Using the water pic nightly is a regular part of my oral care
