I will know better about how well this works as a flosser when I get back to the dentist but I th8ink it does a better and more efficient job than using plain old dental floss. Regular floss is tough to use and hard to get into small tight place berween my teeth, the flosser doesn't have that problem working with mouthwash and hih presser spurts of water.
When I first received this Air Flosser,I thought it was great until after 3 weeks of great flossing,I no longer had the air too.I was hesitant of ordering it in fear that it would stop as it did.So It will be sent back,and gain poor review.I did not do anything out of the ordinary.DO not suggest this model
Having used a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush for a number of years, replacing it once in a few years, I felt I could try the Air Floss even though several reviews said that the Air Flosser broke down. I ordered the Air Flosser on Sept. 27 and have been using it twice a day since it arrived early in October. Tonight, November 6, 2015, the machine just stopped in the middle, and quit. Only yesterday, I received an email asking my opinion, experience with this product. And now I can truthfully write a review -- this product is unreliable, and for the price it is definitely not worth it. If I receive a replacement, I will "hold my breath" until it passes the two month mark, and every month thereafter! IF it lasts that long. I am surprised it is not anywhere near as sturdy and reliable a product as the Toothbrushes. Also, it did not hold a charge for more than a week.
Pros: slender nozzle is easy to maneuver
Cons: handle is awkward and slips easily when wet, broke down in middle of use even tho charged, plastic cover for water container easily pops off, doesn't hold charge for 2 weeks
I loved the cleaner made my mouth feel so clean and good. The only problem I had was it quit working after using for a little over a month. The motor just quit no warning. I did not save my receipt so it was money down the drain. I wish I had read reviews it seem this is a common problem. I opted not to go back to this product instead got a water pic that is not battery operated hoping it will do better.
After only three weeks of use my Sonicare Flosser quit working. I had one previously and loved it and used it several years, so I am terribly disappointed in this one. Know it is still under warranty and I could return, but not worth the trouble.
Sonicare airfloss is the best tool ever for gums that bleed easily. If I miss several days I have a problem. When I use the Sonicare airfloss, my dental checkup is near perfect. When Dental Hygentist's say it improves gum health by 95%, it is definitely a true statement for me.
Seems to clean well between teeth, but the tip construction is questionable. After I had a tip failure the company sent 2 replacement tips free of charge. Subsequently, one of the replacement tips has failed. Both delaminated.
