Dental hygienist here. I use the WaterPik, in addition to standard flossing, and recommend it frequently and was able to get some great tips from this video. I like the idea of filling the reservoir twice and the lips closed for a less messy experience. Definitely will be adding that to my patient instruction.

The best demo I've come across thus far. Thanks!

I started using these products recently since I am hesitant to go to a dentist these days. They have really helped me. I use the water pik and the sonic brush 2.0 with the water pik. Works great!

Got one for Christmas and started using it. It's fantastic. It knocks out food particles I'd normally miss with regular dental floss>

4 years later, is it still working??

A really good product...it prevents the build of even the smallest amount of plaque-provided that you still brush your teeth regularly. I use it after the last meal of the day . After using this I do only drink water until next the morning. I brush my teeth in the morning plus mouth wash -somewhere during the day at work( ca 1 hour after lunch) and then about an hour after dinner-or whenever I have the last meal and beverage of the day.

Very informative, explained well, and may I add, handsome dentist man! Thank you!

Thank you for the demonstration doctor

I liked that you showed how you used it, most videos skipped that.

Great video!! Thank You for the detailed instructions!

The best video instruction for waterpik. Even he mentions of kind of water for this. Not always warm water. Great...

I prefer and have the type that hooks up to the shower head, no power needed, no mess, no noise, no stopping to refill, less expensive and you can do it while showering. You can also attach it to the sink if you like.

Does this replace normal flossing? Or do both? Also I use bristle picks to and is it ok if they rub against the inflamed gum between the teeth? They bleed a little but only when I use the bristle pick and not regular floss. Guess I’ll look into buying one of these and see if that works better.

Glad I found this. I drenched myself and everything around my sink, the counter, and the bathroom mirror when I first used mine.

Isn't Waterpik like a floss? Why would you use floss again? Then your Waterpik lost its purpose.

What about the sonicare air floss. How do you feel about that? I already constantly floss with those little stick flossers as I am very diligent about brushing and flossing, but are those things worth the money. They seem lots more efficient but that means nothing if it's not working as well.

@lonerider92

Isopropyl alcohol would disinfect it pretty well, the highest percentage you can find.

This is totally different than my periodontist trained me to do. Use a flexible small rubber tip. And move it slowly along the area between teeth and gums, spending extra time between teeth. Keep the pressure around 3, or it can damage your gums. Water temp is personal preference. I like it hot. It cools down quickly while going through the tubing.

What's the difference between this model and the WP-70 Classic Water Flosser?

What do you mean "only the teeth you want to save"? And how often should we floss? Ive been doing this every day for weeks and I'm sure it's creating increased sensitivity to cold water. Also not sure it's kind on my gums.

That's an interesting question from A-DSplay/YuGiOh101. Flossing with mouthwash? It might get expensive though, I would think ? Maybe diluted mouthwash.

Can you get these at drugstores or are they only available online? I've had my braces on for three days and I'm realizing how arduous flossing traditionally has gotten.

@BeAPoohBear

they sell them at Target, Walmart, Costco, maybe Walgreens. I don't know if you have these stores in your area but a water pik is about 50-60 dollars if you get the one as in the video. I got one from Costco for I think $50 (which is the cost of just the water pik alone at other stores) and it came with a mini travel sized water pik as well as a second set of tips. Hope this helped

Thanks for the video. I just purchased a complete kit. I hope not to make a mess!

Mr Brownstein, what about the air-water jet that they use on the patients in the dentist chair? That seems so much more effective. It too is a continuous jet, but of both air and water. I guess it would be expensive to buy tho.

If you are a couple can you buy different piks so you don't have to buy 2 units?

This device is going to be used by someone who is blind, so what Accessibility is there on the unit to determine the pressure range? In other words, one click equals the next pressure level all the way up to 10. Also, what kind of tactile marking might be on the reservoir for helpful to fill it? The clicks on the dial would be heard, as well as possibly felt by the user.

Well, I wish that I would have seen this video before I decided to jump right into using my water pick lol. I had water EVERYWHERE! That's also what I get for not reading directions lol. Lesson learned.

how did it go??

The person who might be using this device is myself, the person who is blind. Do you have to hold the reservoir as well as the handle? If so, how heavy is it 14, and is there an audible notification when the reservoir is not full. Of course, I would know that there is no water coming out of the tip anymore when that happens.

I guess you can use both string and the water floss for double assurance. Nice video, but you forgot to tell people as you use this particular unit that there is a pause button on the handle to stop the water from flowing as you pause to spit. They should have designed it so that you press the button to make it flow, not the other way around. Just got mine and I like it so far, but still a little uncoordinated using it. If you put some mouthwash into the water, it makes your mouth feel so much fresher.

"More pressure, mores cleansability" Really, cleansability!

Is this why Im in the waiting room for an hour?

Just like mine love it 👍

Wht's the difference btw WP112B and WP660B?

I can't understand why people are saying that when they first used this unit they made a mess of their bathrooms. Surely it's common sense to keep your mouth closed when using any water floss. Another thing instead of pushing the tip to one side while you spit, why not just turn it off using the on off button on the handle and save water. All these water floss units need are a little common sense.

Do all water flossers sound like jackhammers?
