I have impacted wisdom tooth and it was very prone to infection. I started using the portable version of waterpik waterfloss around 2 years ago , and ever since then i haven't gotten a single gum infection.
I went from starting to have some serious gum issues and having to have surgery for my gum, to now having very healthy gums according to my periodontist. I put a shot of listerine in my water well which gets the bacteria out of the inner part of the gums. Surprised on my end to learn that gum health is prob more important that dental health if you want to keep your teeth and avoid other issues.
Good review. It works like she said. My dentist recommended that I get a Waterpik and I've been using mine for about six months. Although I brushed everyday before, my mouth feels cleaner after using it. I'm curious to see if my dentist will notice a difference in my gums at my next dental visit.
I have gum disease even though I brush and floss twice a day and visit my dentist every year. I've ordered a Waterpik and I hope it will help alleviate my issues. Thanks so much for this informative video !
Can you please do a waterpic/waterflosser demo using disclosing tablet/liquid before and after? I can't find anything like that on any TH-cam channel. I am a skeptic and want to see proof that a stream of water actually loosens and removes plaque. An analogy would be washing the car with a strong stream of water only. The large pieces of dirt are washed away, but the small stuff is stuck somewhat to the car and requires scrubbing with a brush. Thanks
That was helpful, thank you! Any issues with mold or mildew? How do you keep it clean so it doesn’t get yucky or moldy? I’m thinking of the tubing area where the water flows through and any other area you think is important .
@@clayman648 hello, I just ordered one and can you please spend 3 minutes of your time trying to give a breakdown. Like how do you clean the tips, know when it’s charging, and etc. It would gladly be appreciated.
I recently had my teeth cleaned and the hygenist said I should get a water flosser...kept telling me all the benefits of using one and how their worth the money. Considering the thousands it just cost me to have 5 fixed (no dental insurance), this seems like a no brainer. I'll still floss but hoping this also helps with my badly receeding gum line and sensitivity problems...probably from brushing too hard.
Hello dear, I use the waterpik wp660 now for about 2 months and I am very happy with it. But still I have an important question. I use the pik pocket tip in the evening and the classic jet tip in the morning. My teeth and gensiva are generally speaking not sensitive. The classic jet tip I use at almost full power without any problem. The pik pocket tip I use at about power 4. For the last setting is that okay? I feel I could go higher but does this bring any advantage or even can it be harmful? Your reaction will be very much appreciated. Is there somewhere in your account an explanation on how to use exactly all the tips? Greetings from Belgium...
Hi Patrick, the aim is to irrigate and disrupt the biofilm in the gum pockets which is fine at the level you're using. If too high could potentially cause trauma to these delicate tissues. The pik pocket is supposed to be aimed under the gum line into gum pockets if you have gum disease - sorry I don't have a video on this at present but I will look into doing a video in the future. Thank you
Thanks for your review. Would you recommend using a water flosser to massage the gum by pointing the flossing tip at the gum, and not the gumline, if my water flosser does not have the massage feature?
Can you make a video on how to floss between your wisdom teeth and the tooth in front. I have been trying to floss in that spot but I just can't. My hand is too big.
Is there anything to help soften plaque for this to do the job easier? By the way, great and professional review, improving a lot from previous videos!
Hi Chris, thanks for your comments! I've still got a lot to learn. In terms of plaque - plaque is the soft whitish/yellow stuff that you can brush or scrape off easily. When it doesn't get brushed off, over time the minerals in saliva can make it harden and it becomes calculus / tartar. This cannot be brushed off and you would need to see a dentist / dental hygienist or therapist to professional remove it by scaling.
Hi, I had braces a few years back, I had 4 extractions 2 up the top, I get a weird smell when I floss up there, always floss twice a day and clean twice a day, confused what this could be? My dentist says everything is fine? Will this help do you think other than normal flossing
I have an older model water pic and the water hose eventually broke and I replaced it, but it's not as good because I have to press a button to stop the water flow, so I can't leave it in an off position. I might replace the entire unit.
In the UK it's dangerous to have electric sockets in our bathrooms. So use it in the kitchen sink, if it's a very clean kitchen, then it will always be that way.
Many UK bathrooms now have the 2 pin shaver socket that it will work in. It doesn't need the full 3 pin plug. However if you use it elsewhere you will need the adapter.
Enjoyed your review and description of this product. Do you have any experience or would recommend using the waterpik whitening water flosser to remove stains? Would love to see a video on best way to whiten teeth at home.
Hi Ed, the Waterpik can certainly help prevent stains from forming if used regularly. If you have old and heavy stains, it would be difficult to remove with brushing or waterflossing. You would need a professional clean first and then to maintain it and prevent stains from the diet from settling on teeth then regular waterflossing can help.
I’ve been thinking of getting one, since I’ll be having braces soon. I can be very obsessed when I floss my teeth, and I like to take my time to reeeeeally get my teeth clean. I figure if I have braces on this will be incredibly frustrating, but the waterpik might help! :o
For years the company has known about BLACK MOLD growing in the handle! Photos of mine show the entire inside of the handle caked in black mold after noticing black chunks coming out while I flossed - and vinegar cleaning won’t reach this area! Do a google search for “waterpik mold” before you buy!
Remove the tip and submerge the handle in a a cup of water/vinegar solution for 10 minutes. Anything that works with water is liable to develop mold if not cleaned...
I'm rather surprised to hear a "dentist" remark that using this water flosser will remove the fluoride off your teeth from the toothpaste. Doesn't she realize that you can buy all kinds of mouthwash/rinse with fluoride that you can rinse with AFTER flossing? Or brush AFTER flossing, so that the fluoride in the toothpaste now has clearer access to a cleaner tooth surface and below gum line area? Less than impressed... Also would be nice for dentists to promote xylitol or erythritol dental products, as they are known to reduce the bacteria in your mouth that leads to caries, and are FAR safer than fluoride.
Dentists don't recommend mouthwash after brushing even if it has fluoride. The fluoride in mouthwash is lower concentration than the toothpaste. I recommend to use mouthwash at a different time to brushing such as after meals 1. Freshen breath 2. For another topical application of fluoride. No need to insult me by saying "dentist".
She’s got to be the most beautiful dentist on earth! She is downright gorgeous. Also, I can listen to her speak all day.
all right Mr lover lover, find yourself a girlfriend and chill a bit.

Elizabeth Lim i took an X ray and it would require a minor surgery due to my jaw bone. And I don’t want to go through with a surgery.
Didn't it damage the already impacted gum

Tiago Soares the rechargeable one didnt, but the AA battery operated has lasted for 2+ years.

Thank you. I just bought this from Costco and am going to use it tonight. Very helpful info.
I've just ordered the portable charging version. Thanks for the comments and demonstration.
Pls share the model no.

Has it helped? Im thinking of getting one
Yes, I would like to know too. My mother has gum disease too but doesn't know how to floss or use interdental brush
I have used a water pick for years and no gum disease or bleeding. Once you use one you cannot live without it. You still have to FLOSS and brush!

You probably need an electric toothbrush as well to get rid of it all

Maybe You Need to Do Oil Pulling to Clean Out Bacteria from Mouth. Virgin Coconut Oil Is The Best for Oil Pulling.

Have the neighbours across the street complained when it's on the top setting yet?! 😀 🔊
I just got one. Is it supposed to be that loud? Mine is the same, I thought something is wrong with it.
No that's normal!
Just just acoustics in the room
I prefer the hand held one with water in it, not having a seperate water container. The former is easier for travel.
Ya and Countertop Waterpik can easily cause a mess on the sink counter.
How often do you use it? I had never heard of this until my implant surgeon just recommended it.
Thank you for your review. Very helpful tips.
can u use whitening tablets with this wp 660eu?
Best investment ever!
Very informative and a pleasure to watch
How often to clean the tank? Do you dump out water each time?
Good question. I may need to contact the company because I want to know about that and the tubing.
I found simpler solution to floss gaps, water pressure device from home depot. The bigger hose then more result.
Can we use water flosser to clean pits & fissures on chewing surface as bristles can't reach there ??
This was very informative! Thank you!
Excellent review!
I basically have the same when you have but when I'm using it, it pauses for a half a second and then starts going again.
Thanks for great tips!👍🏿

Your Smile Clinic Hello,
Do you recommend flossing after every meal?
My uncle fills the tank with scope xD
My uncle fills it with jack daniels
question if i may can i use a mouthwash in with the water with this ?
That’s what I want to know!
I use a different model as I found this kind gets mold quickly.
How do you clean the waterpik
i think i will buy a water pick
I’d appreciate a video on the HydroFloss.
Never tried one🤔

How to add a whitening tablet? I couldn’t figure it out.
Fine Gold 😂😂😂
where can i buy those disclosure tablets from?
You can get them on Amazon or boots. Search "plaque disclosing tablets".
is this better or the cordless one?
I prefer this one as it's more powerful and has a bigger tank. I have the cordless one also - still need to put my review up on that !
Your Smile Clinic thanks a lot for your reply 🌺
I don’t have room for such a bulky machine lol
I’ll stick to flossing and interdental brushing
can this help remove calculus ?
No, calculus is the hardened plaque it cannot remove this, but can prevent it from forming
