Waterpik?

[MoneyGuy]

Interesting in hearing from anyone who uses a Waterpik. I just bought one.

I’m wondering about its effectiveness.

They work really good but I think you have to use yours more consistently than I use mine to get the full benefits. So basically same as regular flossing.

As someone with not-so-great dental there is definitely a correlation between how diligent I have been with waterpik use and how hard the dental hygenist ends up working on me... it's also not a 1:1 substitute for string floss (use both) but yes, if used regularly a Waterpik is a useful tool.

It will hurt like a mother####er at the start.

Then your gums will be strong like bull after a few days.

I found it helped immensely with my gum health and plaque removal. I don't floss anymore, but I do use the Waterpik morning and night everyday.

Also look into Therabreath, that #### works amazing. I don't even have morning breath anymore.

I have one, I like it. You've gotta keep your thumb on the power button. The first time I used it my mouth filled with water faster than I expected, I opened my mouth and sprayed water all over the mirror.

I'm in exactly the same situation. After about a year of using it my dental hygenist was blown away at how much my gums have improved.

For new users I would suggest using warm water for the first couple of weeks while your gums are sensitive to it. It's a great device.

It's good

Dont raffle it off to Lloyd Braun.

Wait… you’re telling me that it’s possible to impress one of those tyrants????

I have the Cordless Advanced model: https://www.waterpik.com/products/de...losser/WP-580/

Easy to use, easy to fill, takes up less counter space, and is plenty strong enough. I charge it about every 2 weeks or so I think? Easy to travel with as well if you want to.

Lol. It's truly a game changer. The experience in the chair is so much better.

Bought one on dentist suggestion.

Went to get teeth cleaned and almost nothing to do for hygienist.

I think it seems to work.

More effective than flossing. I was recommended to start using it because I was at risk of gum recession and that surgery where they cut the roof of your mouth and stick it on your gums to rebuild it. But like all things, consistency is key.

Watch a youtube before you start spraying. Or don't, could be more fun.

10/10 would recommend.

I’ve used it already and it works well. Haven’t been to a hygienist since starting. I know it doesn’t replace flossing.

[D as in David]

I got mine a few months ago. IMO, it's not a replacement for flossing as I still notice plaque when I floss my teeth. Good for getting food particles that were missed during flossing, though.

If you have sensitive teeth, put warm water in the tank.

Ah yes...'that girl from the Bus!'

Never compete with Lloyd Braun!
