We bought this about a month ago, and my husband and I both use it. There are several tips so we can each have our own. We both dental floss, but found this to get food out from teeth that flossing did not remove. A very good product!
I bought this at the request of my sons dentist. He had recently got braces put on and was having trouble brushing and flossing. Just two weeks after using the waterpik he returned to the orthodontist with great results. I've even used it myself and noticed a difference. Great product.
My dentist recommended it to me a month ago. I have tight spaces between teeth and difficulty flossing because of that. My initial gum test showed bleeding in a lot of places, and many 4's. I've been using the Waterpik religiously the past month. Yesterday, I went for a follow-up check and I had no 4's, and every other number decreased at least one digit from the prior test. Using me as a sample of 1, I would say this product works. Besides, it's fun to use!
This is my third Waterpik. I wore one out, dropped and broke the last one and now - I'm using this. My mouth feels cleaner. The Waterpik flushes little particles of food that brushing and flossing miss. My hygienist and dentist recommend Waterpiks.
My dental hygienist recommended this to me and I'm glad she did because it definitely gets more food particles that brushing and flossing. I have used after doing both and I can see particles that fall into the sink after using it.
