Frustrated With Flossing but you know that FLOSSING IS A CRUCIAL element of your daily oral hygiene routine. A toothbrush simply cannot reach the plaque and food particles stuck between our teeth, so we need to floss to get at it. Simple brushing is even less effective on its own for those with braces, which introduce countless new hard-to-reach crevices where bacteria can hide.
As necessary as flossing is, we know how frustrated with flossing people can be. That’s why we’re so excited that old-fashioned flossing isn’t the only option. One of our favorite alternatives to traditional floss is the Waterpik® Water Flosser, the first powered interdental cleaner to earn the American Dental Association’s seal of approval.
How Waterpik Compares
Every member of our staff uses the Waterpik Water Flosser. Why do we all use it? Simply because we have seen the significant results with our own eyes of how well it works. Floss can be very difficult to use correctly even for dental professionals. Another key reason to use a Waterpik water flosser is because it can get deeper into the gum than string floss. Patients with braces will also be more successful with keeping their teeth clean with it over floss.
Watch the video below to see how the Waterpik Water Flosser gives you a cleaner, healthier smile than brushing alone:
Get Your Own Waterpik Water Flosser and rid yourself of being frustrated with flossing!
We have two different Waterpik Water Flossers available for sale in our office. The Aquarius Professional is a counter top model. It comes with 7 different tips allowing multiple people to use the same water flosser. Multiple levels of force are included on the Aquarius. Recommendation is to use a level 7 or above for sufficient flossing force. Another option is the handheld rechargeable Waterpik water flosser. The handheld option is smaller so it takes up less counter space.

We’d love to hear how you like your Waterpik Water Flosser once you start using it, so make sure you let us know at your next appointment with us. Until then, don’t forget to brush twice a day and use the Waterpik to “floss” once a day!
