Water Flosser (Waterpik)

A water flosser uses a pressurized stream of water to clean between teeth and below the gumline — areas regular brushing misses.

Benefits

• Removes up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas
• Easier than string floss — especially with braces, implants, or crowns
• Reduces gum bleeding and inflammation within 2 weeks of daily use
• Reaches deeper pockets than traditional floss (up to 6mm)
• Massages gums improving circulation and overall gum health

Tips

• Start on low pressure and work up
• Use warm water for comfort
• Lean over the sink with mouth slightly open
• Trace the gumline systematically
• Use daily — consistency matters more than perfection
