I neglected my teeth for a while and the waterpik acted as a whole new experience if you’re debating getting a waterpik I would say go do it it makes cleaning your teeth so much more easier and less of a hassle a great way to break in a healthy habit I debated it and glad I purchased it it’s great and has different setting And attachments for all your needs
I had a deep cleaning today. Decided to go to the dentist because I was stressed af that I probably had the periodontal disease or gingivitis but I ended up just needing a cleaning. I watch your videos everyday. They are very interesting!!!!
I followed your suggestions for a year now and I can say that my teeth have gained a lot in terms of hygiene and I also wanna say that you are a lifesaver.
I can't go to sleep without water flossing, and regular flossing combined. They work so well together 👍🏻 it's a real eye opener for me, since I've hated using toothpicks this is so great 😊
I’m totally gonna sound like I’m being paid to say this but, never has my mouth felt so clean. It genuinely feels like I came out of the dentist’s office.
Funnily enough, every time I go for my 6 month cleaning my dental hygienist says I have the cleanest mouth she's ever seen and she says it's especially shocking considering I'm in braces. She barely picks at my teeth, one time I asked her to actually try just to make sure she wasn't being lazy and could even feel it myself, I don't have any buildup! She still checks really quick but mostly I just go in for a polish every 6 months. Honestly really do think if you're using it every day, it is like you've just left with a fresh cleaning lol.
My initial thoughts before using it were that it would hurt. It didn't, I went from level 2 last night and this morning I have it on level 8 with no discomfort.
I used these when I was a kid (many year ago). Worked but non adjustable pressure, (too high). Tried again about 10 years ago. Works great, bought adjustable pressure and I use mid setting. My teeth are really tight and it was always difficult to floss, so this was good option. Also, I use the water pick (on lowest setting) to irrigate/rinse my tonsils. I have pits in tonsils that trap food. Works great for cleaning that too. We have a battery operated also. Works good if you don't run it too long.
I am confident that they will find that rotting food (like what you have described) is the leading cause of certain diseases and cardiovascular degeneration. Get it out!
What I do is floss first, then I brush. When I’m done brushing, while the toothpaste is still in my mouth I use the waterflosser and run it through all the rows of my teeth - top, bottom, front, back & even behind my teeth. THEN, I brush my tongue and I switch out the waterpik piece with a tongue scraper. While the toothpaste is still on my tongue after I’m done brushing it I take the plastic tongue scraper from the waterpik and clean my tongue off like that. THEN lmao I take a metal tongue scraper and scrap any excess bacteria/germs. THEN I use listerine total care 😁😁 I have a little mirror that I check it with & I don’t ever have plaque, tartar or cavities & my gums never bleed... idk why people say it only takes a few minutes to floss?? They might not be flossing the right way then because it takes me almost 20 minutes
Got a water flosser for Christmas and I LOVE it. I actually enjoy using it and it’s so much easier, faster and effective, especially around my fillings
How’s it going? I’ve *reversed level 5 gum pockets,* which I was told were not reversible, by getting a WaterPik (thank you internet for this advice!!) using *10 drops of grapefruit seed extract* in my WaterPik, with the *Pocket Pik tip,* for *five minutes* daily! 🦷✨
I appreciate you being very thorough but yet concise. Good information. God bless dental hygienists that take such good care of our teeth better that we could ever do.
Watched this video 3 months ago and ordered a waterpik. I’ve been using it daily (so 3 to 7 times a week depending on the demands of motherhood). When I went to my 6 month cleaning, for the first time in my life, my dentist said, “You have really clean teeth!” I have a health condition that makes me predisposed to cavities which makes preventing them a challenge, even with good oral hygiene habits. Thanks for the help!
I have chronic joint pain (autoimmune) and I can't floss with traditional floss like I used to. The waterpik has helped me so much. I can hold it pretty easily on flare days. It beats not flossing at all on those days. I was flossing with traditional floss every day before my illness struck. It's nice to know I can still complete my self-care routine. Thanks for the video!
I hated using the floss string. I’d often forget about it. I got a waterpik and it has helped me maintain a daily flossing habit, I like to do it because it’s easy and I feel my mouth and teeth much cleaner
🙌🏻 I’ve *reversed level 5 gum pockets,* which I was told were not reversible, by getting a WaterPik (thank you internet for this advice!!) using *10 drops of grapefruit seed extract* in my WaterPik, with the *Pocket Pik tip,* for *five minutes* daily! 🦷✨
Starting to using a water pick was life changing for me. For the first time I sincerely feel that after using it (at least three times a day) a CSI team couldn't find out what I ate last. Like seriously NO trace of any food or plaque on my teeth. It leaves my teeth clean as could be. I have a routine of gum brushes first, then water pick, then floss, then brush and then tongue scrape and then gargle. So... I may have become OCD... but I have clean damned teeth and good breath!!!!
I both floss AND use a water pick, I got one that was very affordable by Bestope. The model I purchased was recommended by my dentist because there were so many brands and types I needed some guidance. It has five power settings and several attachments. My only regret is that I didn't start using this years ago. Mine even has a tongue cleaner and a sinus cleaning attachment. I use my water flosser every single day and it really has changed my life. It really is the best addiction you can have, it makes your teeth, gums, and entire mouth feel so great, fresh and clean, and it's wonderful to know that you're helping your gums be their very best. This is now a life long habit for me, and it cost less than $40, is rechargeable, and completely waterproof so I can use it in the shower.
I love her personality and energy!! And she's so pretty. Just got dental implants a week ago. So my dentist is providing me one on my next visit. Can't wait to use it. It seems fun!😊
Ooh I hope your implants went well. Very exciting. Waterflossers are great for implants. I am also a big fan of piksters, but maybe you won't need them if the water flosser does such a good job.
👄I challenge everyone out there to try flossing your teeth for 30 days. You can do anything for 30 days and I can tell you how much more confident you will be that your breath is not offensive and how it will prevent all kinds of other dental problems. - Dr. Lisa Germain (sending full support) 🦷🦷🦷
I have braces and no matter what I’ve done the swelling of my gums has not gone down. Just got my waterpik about a week ago and I think it’s helping a lot already.
So I just got a waterpik last week. LOVE it. I'm brushing more. Came online to see other reviews because I felt weird that I liked it this much. Glad to know it's a good addiction
I just bumped into your videos tonight, searching for proper flossing technique. I embarrassingly admit that I haven't always taken the best care of my teeth and gums. I am, however, doing all that I can to take proper care of my teeth now. I bought a Waterpik a few months ago and plan to use it daily now. Thank you for the great videos and dental tips. BTW, your flossing advice has worked great for me. Using the up and down motion cleans between the teeth so much better! No more sawing! 😁
I decided to get a water flosser after finding out I have gum disease. I have been using it for five days now. The first two days using it was quite an unpleasant experience. It was a bit painful, even on the low pressure, and made my gums bleed like crazy in a few places. The water coming out of my mouth was bright red. The third day there was no bleeding at all in most places and only slight bleeding in a few places. It also feels less and less uncomfortable every day. I never had a problem with bleeding gums when using string floss so it seems like the water flosser hits some spaces that string floss doesn't reach. I'm going to continue using string floss for best results though. I view water flossing as an addition rather than a substitute.
@@lucci8509 i don't like regular flossing. i haven't seen anyone say this before but whenever i keep my mouth open for long periods of time to floss the side of my jaw starts to become so painful and almost locks into place.
Water flossing before brushing is a good idea. "Spit no rinse" after brushing helps to keep Fluoride/Calcium/Xylitol/CPC/CHX/ misc. active ingredients on your teeth after brushing and helps to remineralise your enamel.
99% of the fluoride adheres to the teeth within 1 minute of being applied anyway. that's why the dentist tells you to rinse after applying it during a cleaning. you've been going to bed with that dirty toothpaste still in your mouth? lol.
@@DiamondhandsForever Depends on the substantivity of the Fluoride applied. Gel is a waste of time, rinses are ripping you off. Varnish is by far the most scientifically effective mode of Fluoride application. I don't think "99% of the Fl will adhere" will ever be an accurate statement, as Fluoride uptake is affected by many factors. After being applied it just sits on the pellicle. And if the patient has a dry mouth it will do stuff all because you need saliva flow and calcium to improve demineralisation. I'll stick to my dirty toothpaste 😂.
@@DiamondhandsForever he is actually right . As a dental hygienist I recommend to brush and spit only and not rinse afterwards ,specially with fluoride tooth paste.
This video helped me realize that there is no easy answer to whether waterpik are better than flossing. Nor is there no easy answer to whether waterpiks can replace flossing.
I'm not gonna lie. I just used this thing for the first time (bridge), and it was fun as hell. I was like, what does THIS tool do? I used them all. Lol.
Thank you for the great video, I'm getting one asap. To be frank, i saw the thumbnail and assumed it was clickbait, it was actually very informative, more so than others i tried to get information from, and helped me make the decision to have my wife and daughters start using one as well.
@@TeethTalk update. Got the one shown in video 2 weeks ago, my gums have nearly stopped bleeding 100%, only between 2 teeth now instead of the entire gum line, if anyone is on the fence and sees this comment please make the jump and get one, it'll pay for itself 100x over in good health and dental bills
All the dental hygienests that ive been seen by have never recommended a water flosser. I am pissed off that they never recommended it. Water flossers are a must have item if you care about your dental health.
Nada Yoga Then mouth wash. Though personally I floss first, brush my teeth, and when I get the water floss I’ll use that after brushing my teeth, and then mouth wash.
Good video. A cheaper method is to use thread and cotton. Take a piece of sewing machine thread, make a small loop, put a very small piece of cotton and tighten the loop. Hold the thread by both hands tightly and run the cotton piece between teeth. All material stuck between will be dislodged. The size of cotton ball will depend on the gap between teeth.
I just bought a basic Waterpik water-flosser at Aldi for $90 Australian. Already addicted to the feeling, and my gums already feel healthier. During my pregnancy, my gums started bleeding so this would have been great
Yoooo, so happy to hear it's actually supposed to be used in conjunction with the plain string floss, personally I love string floss, it's my favorite part of dental care NO DOUBT, it's so satisfying and really feels like scratching an itch in a spot that normally can't be accessed and IT FEELS SO GOOD, and it makes brushing feel so much better afterwards too for some reason! Lately, I've been trying to switch to the water flosser and it just didn't do that for me, my teeth still felt dirty and improperly cleaned where the string floss would've "scratched" that itch, maybe I'm just so used to using plain floss, maybe it actually is still dirty, either way, happy to know I not only CAN use them both without feeling like an idiot, I'm kinda SUPPOSED to do it like that... So yeh... It's time to go buy a brand new pack of string floss and scratch that dang itch!!! It's gonna feel sooo good! Thank you for providing this wonderful information. Do I like the feeling of string floss a little too much?... NAAHHHHH, I'm entirely normal! Huzzah!
I would like to live next door to this lovely Dental Hygienist. I had a Waterpik. Its battery was extremely poor. A small water filled rubber balloon, pressed upon, would do the same job. Learn how to rinse mouth vigorously, this removes tiny food debris. (UK)
Excellent video thank you ! I am off to purchase a waterpik, because my teeth build up plaque so fast, my cleanings need to be done in two visits with novacaine, my gums bleed a little with floss (no, Im not giving up flossing.) but this sounds like a great addition to oral care. My 11yr old is getting braces soon, so double the reason to try it out !
I use my water glosser in concert with regular floss. I also irrigate by filling the reservoir with a 25% solution of Listerine. My dentist has confirmed: it has completely turned my gum problems around and my perio-pockets are diminishing in size & scope!!
The easy and more effective way to floss, the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser features advanced technology and a compact, contemporary design. And it is the first dental water flosser in its class accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA). It cleans deep between teeth and below the gumline where traditional brushing and flossing can't reach, using a unique combination of water pressure and pulsations. th-cam.com/video/r6Xn9kfH0hM/w-d-xo.html
I LOVE that you asked that! Truly, either order is fine! I prefer string floss first then water floss after because it's cool to see what you may have missed with the string. But, either way works! Thank you again for watching!
What i do is spit out toothpaste after brushing & then use regular floss before rinsing my mouth out with water,you can feel it's gritty but does a great job.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for saying that! It's funny because that's always my phrase to everyone on set (if we're filming a parody in the office or something) I'm always shouting I LOVE YOUR ENERGY to everyone :)

To be frank, i saw the thumbnail and assumed it was clickbait, it was actually very informative, more so than others i tried to get information from, and helped me make the decision to have my wife and daughters start using one as well.
Thank you for watching and commenting kind. I'm happy the video helped you!
@@TeethTalk update.
Got the one shown in video 2 weeks ago, my gums have nearly stopped bleeding 100%, only between 2 teeth now instead of the entire gum line, if anyone is on the fence and sees this comment please make the jump and get one, it'll pay for itself 100x over in good health and dental bills
Thank you. You saved my life. My dentist didn't expalain or recommend nothing to me :'v
Aw! Make sure you ask at next appointment! They can offer you better advice based upon your individual case. Hope that helps!
All the dental hygienests that ive been seen by have never recommended a water flosser. I am pissed off that they never recommended it. Water flossers are a must have item if you care about your dental health.
I told my hygienist today I use a waterflosser now. She laughed and told me it wont do anything. So confused now
Ikr ! I asked two dentists and they said use normal floss instead. They never told me the reason lol
I am a dental hygienist, and I recommend water flossers every day. ❤️
Maybe it has to do with their money?
@@ginger78gingerale71 - Probably because it's no replacement for flossing.
Question, should I use string floss first, then waterpik, then brush? What's the best order in which to use? Thanks!!
Thanks for asking

Then mouth wash.
Though personally I floss first, brush my teeth, and when I get the water floss I’ll use that after brushing my teeth, and then mouth wash.
Good video. A cheaper method is to use thread and cotton. Take a piece of sewing machine thread, make a small loop, put a very small piece of cotton and tighten the loop. Hold the thread by both hands tightly and run the cotton piece between teeth. All material stuck between will be dislodged. The size of cotton ball will depend on the gap between teeth.
I just bought a basic Waterpik water-flosser at Aldi for $90 Australian. Already addicted to the feeling, and my gums already feel healthier. During my pregnancy, my gums started bleeding so this would have been great
What model you got?
You can add crowns to the list, it cleans the margins much better than string floss, makes a big difference.
This woman. These videos are so for her
Great oral hygiene teacher 👏 👍
Love your channel!!! Thank you!! 🙌🏻🦷✨
I do both and have great periodontal charting numbers and no cavities.
Yoooo, so happy to hear it's actually supposed to be used in conjunction with the plain string floss, personally I love string floss, it's my favorite part of dental care NO DOUBT, it's so satisfying and really feels like scratching an itch in a spot that normally can't be accessed and IT FEELS SO GOOD, and it makes brushing feel so much better afterwards too for some reason! Lately, I've been trying to switch to the water flosser and it just didn't do that for me, my teeth still felt dirty and improperly cleaned where the string floss would've "scratched" that itch, maybe I'm just so used to using plain floss, maybe it actually is still dirty, either way, happy to know I not only CAN use them both without feeling like an idiot, I'm kinda SUPPOSED to do it like that... So yeh... It's time to go buy a brand new pack of string floss and scratch that dang itch!!! It's gonna feel sooo good! Thank you for providing this wonderful information.
Do I like the feeling of string floss a little too much?... NAAHHHHH, I'm entirely normal! Huzzah!
I have bleeding gums but also braces and my water pik is a lifesaver
I love you... just bought a waterpic and use it twice a day!!!!!!
That makes me so happy! Sending positive vibes your way!
You are too funny!
Great info for everyone!
Good. Thank you for increasing awareness regarding dental health.
Thank YOU for this kind comment!!!
I would like to live next door to this lovely Dental Hygienist.
I had a Waterpik. Its battery was extremely poor. A small water filled rubber balloon, pressed upon, would do the same job. Learn how to rinse mouth vigorously, this removes tiny food debris.

OMG, I love your video!!
this is the coolest thing im buying mine now and thanks for sharing!!
I just read thru your comments and i guess my thoughts are definitely not alone. You have quite the admirers!! Where in the world are you?
I just bought one last week………. I love it
Excellent video thank you ! I am off to purchase a waterpik, because my teeth build up plaque so fast, my cleanings need to be done in two visits with novacaine, my gums bleed a little with floss (no, Im not giving up flossing.) but this sounds like a great addition to oral care. My 11yr old is getting braces soon, so double the reason to try it out !
I use my water glosser in concert with regular floss. I also irrigate by filling the reservoir with a 25% solution of Listerine. My dentist has confirmed: it has completely turned my gum problems around and my perio-pockets are diminishing in size & scope!!
The easy and more effective way to floss, the Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser features advanced technology and a compact, contemporary design. And it is the first dental water flosser in its class accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA). It cleans deep between teeth and below the gumline where traditional brushing and flossing can't reach, using a unique combination of water pressure and pulsations.

Should you string floss first then water pick or the vise a versa?
I LOVE that you asked that! Truly, either order is fine! I prefer string floss first then water floss after because it's cool to see what you may have missed with the string. But, either way works! Thank you again for watching!
I'm so positively addicted to flossing it's unreal
yesssss! floss team!
What i do is spit out toothpaste after brushing & then use regular floss before rinsing my mouth out with water,you can feel it's gritty but does a great job.
What a lovely video so refreshing 🤗
thank you you so much for watching! and commenting kind!
Going to definitely get me one of these!!!! ❤
Buying my Waterpik right this second
I hope you love it as much as me!

Whooo.. I've just watch 0:10 but fall in love with your explaination already..
I really enjoy watching your video! So informative and such positivity
Thank you so much for the kind comment, friend!
Side Note - on high power it works great for cleaning corners if shower or shower head or spa jets 😅
the way you talk got me hipnotized
I love your energy!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for saying that! It's funny because that's always my phrase to everyone on set (if we're filming a parody in the office or something) I'm always shouting I LOVE YOUR ENERGY to everyone :)
I like the quirky delivery style :)
Thank you for the kind comment!
I started using a water pik when I got braces as a high school senior -- in the spring of 1968.
You could convince me chewing candy corn before bed every night was good with your swagger! 👏 Love it! Water pik it is!
