Is Waterpik water flosser worth it?
A water pick can help remove food particles from your teeth and might help reduce bleeding and gum disease — but it isn’t generally considered a substitute for brushing and flossing. It doesn’t generally remove visible film and plaque on your teeth, but can aid in reduction of bacteria even below the gumline.
How often should you use a water flosser?
You should use your Waterpik® Water Flosser at least once per day. Why? To maintain good oral health, dental professionals recommend that you floss at least once per day and brush your teeth at least twice per day.
Does a Waterpik remove plaque?
The WaterPik is very effective, and actually even more effective than string floss, at reducing gingivitis, reducing gingival bleeding, and removing plaque. It also can clean deeper into periodontal pockets than floss can.
Should I Waterpik before or after brushing?
We recommend using the Water Flosser prior to toothbrushing:

- Instructing patients to use it first improves compliance.
- Seeing the food and debris that the Water Flosser removes can help motivate your patient to Water Floss daily.
