Have you heard of the Waterpik, waterpick, water flosser, oral irrigator before?

Here are Dr. Pham’s honest thoughts about this new and fun dental device, is it a game-changer in oral hygiene?

Yes it is.

Water flossers use an adjustable stream of water to spray and clean plaque stuck between teeth. Water flossing is a good alternative when string flossing isn’t possible.

The most effective way to clean the plaque and bacteria between teeth in descending order is:

1. string flossing, 2. floss picks, 3. water flossing 4. brushing only 5. no flossing at all

However, there are limitations to string floss where water floss really shines. Water flossers can be used by people of all ages and with different oral health needs, making it a great tool in families. Water flossing is perfect for braces, retainers, dental bridges, implants, and all-on-4 dentures.

The most important factor of dental or oral hygiene is the consistency, so if this water flosser helps you enjoy “flossing” more and use it more often, then it is a success!
