Waterpik Cordless Portable Water Flosser with 2 Tips, ADA Accepted, White and Blue

I recently underwent a procedure having a dental bridge installed, and the dental assistant informed me of my urgent need for a Water Pik. I purchased mine at once, and I can cabidly aver that I cannot imagine how I did without it for so many years. I owned one of the original 1970s Water Piks, but this one is so much better and, as it turns out, essential for my oral hygiene requirements.

I have been using for a couple months now. My dentist recommended a water flosser and hydrogen.peroxide to get into areas under molars. This flosser work great, I normally do a manual flosser and follow with the water flosser. I almost always see more food debris after water flossing. It takes a few uses to get used to using, learning the best way to hold and manipulate to get all around your gums. Once you have your "pattern" down, there seems to be just enough water capacity to get the job done. I mix about 1/3 warm water with 2/3 hydrogen peroxide to warm the cold HP. I lean over my sink when water flossing, it is necessary. The good: - good pressure - easy to fill - just-right capacity - long lasting battery capacity - easy to get nozzle oriented with practice Suggested improvements: - battery charging base. I don't like the proprietary cord to charge, as I take the unit to a different outlet to charge. Luckily this is only necessary every couple weeks. - Filling lid needs a detent to hold it open for filling. The lid just flops closed if not held open. I also would like to keep the lid open between uses to facilitate drying inside the reservoir. - Momentary on switch. The on off switch is a clicker, and you sometimes want to allow the nozzle to exit your mouth. A momentary switch would allow for a more intuitive way to find the off setting while flossing avoiding "power washing" your bathroom mirror and cheeks. ;^) All in all, a great product that is going to help keep your teeth and gums healthy, and impress your dentist on your next visit!
