Expensive, but how else can you use the device? Not much of an alternative available.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I cant imagine my mouth without waterpik-----all the debris is shocking and to be able to rid myself of such, is miraculous and totally reassuring that my mouth is OK.
Wish they were a firmer bristle. They don't do much in the way of scrubbing

Hello - Thanks for taking the time to leave a review. All our brushes are considered “soft.” The ADA recommends soft-rated bristles because harder-rated bristles could potentially harm the enamel layer.
