Waterpik
Waterpik
Flossing is essential, but it can also be frustrating for many patients. Our doctors recommend the Waterpik® as a powerful and easy-to-use alternative or supplement to traditional flossing. This handheld device uses targeted water pressure to remove plaque, food particles, and bacteria between teeth and the gumline.
Why Use a Waterpik?
A Waterpik (also known as a water flosser or oral irrigator) provides a gentle, effective way to clean hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. It’s especially helpful for patients who:
- Have braces or other orthodontic appliances
- Struggle with traditional flossing due to dexterity issues
- Experience gum sensitivity or bleeding
- Have crowns, bridges, or implants
It’s clinically proven to reduce gingivitis, improve gum health, and, in certain cases, remove plaque more effectively than string floss.
Benefits of Waterpik Flossing
Waterpik offers an easy-to-use and gentle approach to oral care that effectively cleans between teeth and below the gumline where traditional brushing can't reach. This convenient water flossing method helps reduce gum inflammation and bleeding while being particularly beneficial for those with braces, bridges, and dental implants.
By providing a more comfortable and accessible alternative to traditional string floss, Waterpik encourages consistent daily flossing habits that contribute to better overall oral health.
Most patients find it easy to work into their daily routine and see noticeable improvements in gum health within weeks.
