Does this actually work? Will it floss my teeth better than regular dental flossing?

I really like the Waterflosser. I used to just use normal floss. The reason why I think the Waterflosser is better is, when you just use regular floss, I always noticed that I would have to floss the same areas a few times and I still see something attached on the floss (not all areas). With Waterflosser, I experimented this by using the waterflosser first and then go over with a regular floss to see how much stuff stick to the floss. I went through all between my teeth, and the floss was completely clean! So this tells me that waterflosser really get most everything out of between the teeth.

I've received two units, the waterpik waterflosser ultra and the traveller. The first one works perfectly. It fulfilled and overpassed my expectations, but the traveller unit it didn't work from the first time. I complained about this malfunction and I never received a positive answer and a solution of this problem.

No it's not better than flossing, but only a hygienist could tell. It's amazing and easy to use. The big difference is you'll actually use it. Most people only floss when there is an annoying piece of meat stuck between their teeth.

No. It will not take the place of regular flossing. It may take place brushing , but you still need to floss.

After I floss and brush I use the water pic and it always flushes away small bits of debris.

I still floss after meals, but this helps to ensure that your gumline is clean.

My dental hygienist always insist on flossing but I find the water pick much easier to us and a large amount of food particles caught between the teeth come out. Together with an electric toothbrush that also messages my gum, there have been no complains from my dentist on annual checkups.

Your supposed to add this to your routine instead of skipping the floss. I do think it feels cleaner overall. I don't find it difficult to do at least once a day.

It will work on a temporary basis. I have a Maryland bridge and I use this product to cement it but it holds for only short term droning on what you eat. If you don't use it to bite into food, it can last a month or two but as soon as you start biting with it, it comes loose. I still use it because it's cheaper than going to the darn expensive dentist. There's another product like this one that I use to use and it was a little stronger but I have not been able to find it on line again. It's like this but the bottle is orange, black and white. I think it was call dent seal cement. Let me know if you have any luck with it. My name is mike and my email address is mccaton2003@yahoo.com. It will work on a temporary basis.

I don't know but wouldn't risk it. I can tell you that I want to the dentist last week and for the first time ever my teeth and gums were in excellent shape! I have been religiously using it after brushing my teeth and it's so easy and much more faster than flossing. A former dental school teacher said that I should floss a little after using it, but when I do there is rarely anything left behind. Highly recommend.

Yes! The dentist had advised me to floss, I went in for my next check up and he thanked me for flossing. I had not even picked up floss, much less used it. The key is to keep using it because it tickles a little, and to move very slowly, like you are polishing each individual tooth. You will love it! Oh, and you can get a travel holder for it, check amazon, I've had mine so long I can't remember where I got it!

Well---it worked ok I guess. I tried the denisifier. No noticeable difference. To be fair it was my first attempt at polishing so it might not be fair to say it didn't work well

Nothing extra. I wouldn't buy it if you floss regularly and have a Waterpik.

I've never used a Waterpik but I can tell you it will stimulate your gums. It's much better and faster than flossing. It leaves you with a very clean feeling with just water.

Depending of your oral and gum condition and physiology. In my case, the answer is No. I still using regular floss time to time after eating let's say roasted turkey, some meats. I can say I don't need manual flossing as much as I used to need. I saw my hygienist again, she was impressed by changes I have since I start doing water flossing.

No. It is just a flosser that flosses in between your teeth with pressurized water.

nothing really, personally I would not purchase one if you already have a waterpik and floss. I got it because I hate to floss and was hoping I could get around it. The Sonic toothbrush however, really is worth it. If you're going to spend 100 bucks on something, go for the toothbrush.

No I do no notice the taste when I floss. Love this product. It really works.

Hi, it certainly does. All we have used is mouthwash to date, you can feel it firing between the gaps in your teeth. Should save money on mouthwash too as you tend to use a lot less given you're only filing a small receptacle. If there is two of you wanting to use the product I'd suggest the 'twin pack', much better value for money.

I use it daily for cleaning along with Oral-B floss. It cleans your teeth well and gives them a freshly polished (just from the dentist) feeling that handheld toothbrushes cannot.

My experience is that it cleans my teeth more thoroughly. The dental hygienist says my teeth are cleaner and have very little plaque. used to use oral b -also -suggest you check out research oral surgeon says it is "the real thing". would recommend

Yes, (when it works, it's great, it helped my sister w/her gum disease by 100%) think I just have a 'tricky one' . It has 9 'adjustable' levels, I really don't feel much difference but I have very tough yet sensitive gums (sounds like a double negative)! 1-9 I use the 9 as that is the strongest, I also add a 'Listerine' type product cut 5--50 with water, hope this helps!

Although it does lift some debris from under the gumline, I wouldn't give up flossing. I usually floss first & then use the brush to get anything left behind.

Hello Anas,Somebody already answered your question, but I would like to add that you should be careful when using the "floss action" head. It works great, but can push back the gum line if you overdo it. I like to alternate between the different heads so that I don't use the same one all the time.Enjoy!
