Yes, they can be messy. But using a water flosser is a great alternative (and dare we say “replacement”?!) for conventional flossing. If you’ve never used a water flosser, you’re in for a surprise. Fortunately, when it comes to how to use a water flosser, practice makes perfect.

I bought the waterpik, been using it for a few months and I love it. There is definitely a learning curve but patience it’s key. My dentist told me to start on a lower setting, below 5 until o got the hang of it, then increase the pressure as needed. I stopped at 6. Everyone is deferent so experimenting is recommended.

Then I started to used the Water Pick, in addition to using the in-between-the-gums little brushes, and regular flossing. You get what you put into it, I am happy that my gums are healthier, no more bleeding or pain.

I love my water flosser! It did make my gums less sensitive, but unfortunately I got out of habit of using it so I’m back at square one. Another tip: If anyone has the handheld flosser, make sure to dry it thoroughly after use. I had to buy another one after my first one molded out. Was not pleasant to throw money away, but my new flosser is much better so I’m not too upset.

I can't believe how much fun that was lol. You should teach this at grammar school where everybody pretty much has all their teeth at least their permanent ones. I'm going to share you with my sister's grandchildren. When they spend the night it is such an ordeal to get them to brush their teeth. I show them the teeth that I've lost because I didn't take care of my teeth properly. I'm so old to them I don't think it really affects them. Then I go through how you need to move the plaque around your teeth and gums at least every 24 hours or it will turn into a rock. I don't know how exactly true that is but it works the best. Now I have your videos and thank you very much for that. I can't wait to see their reaction. You rock girl!!!

I watched two other videos, read the booklet three times and sprayed enough water to clean my mirror, walls and the countertop ...and my clothes, face and hair got a wash too. All the time I'm thinking, I need to buy more towels if this is my new routine. Thanks for reminding me that with practice my trip to the laundry room will diminish. Your video was fun and honest about this process. I'm feeling ready to go at it again tomorrow. Thanks!!!

I have a Costco waterpik brand that this dentist recommended me to use while on Orthodontic treatment and I am using that as well with flossing and also using a toothpaste that has both fluoride and whitening

Too funny, the comments that everyones making a mess with theirs. I did the same thing. I never Owed a water pik until yesterday. The directions were vague.. I splashed my mirror In my bathroom and got water all over my vanity bc I didn’t keep m mouth closed. I did exactly what this chick said not to do. Lol I actually sprayed the plug socket by accident bc when I turned the darn thing on I wasn’t paying attention to which direction it was In and I thought you had to hold the button down continuously. Boy was I wrong! Last night I was laying in bed thinking what went wrong. I figured at that point I should’ve had my mouth closed to avoid the mess. Today I decided to watch a video on how to use it and get some tips. This is what came up. This video was useful even though I kinda figured out how to use it but she made some great points. I learned a lot from this video and a few others ones she has.

My garden hose adjusts to a strong pinhole sized stream. I used it to clean my teeth a bunch of times & said MAN! Someone should invent something like this for the bathroom! Meanwhile, a brand new friggin water flosser was sitting in my garage the whole time! No clue where it came from. Mine now tho. LOVE this thing

I used to have various toothaches and mouth ulcers. It won't be now. I have found that as long as the bacteria in the mouth are solved, the teeth will grow healthily, but they need daily care. Electric toothbrush + Water Flosser = Healthy Mouth.

As a little bit of an older dude, Ive learned that good dental care is more about having healthy gums vs healthy teeth. If you have gum disease, you will lose teeth and experience a lot of pain trying to fix the problem. Switched to a waterpik and basically all my gum issues went away. Use it religiously each night before bedtime and splash in a bit of listerine to kill any bacteria in the pockets of the gums. Works wonders and my mouth is about as fresh as it gets!!

Sweety, first off, why do u ALWAYS make my daywhen I watch your videos??? Secondly, I love, love, love (so do my teeth) th Waterpik Ultra, I use it for 3 years and it's a miraculous addition to my dental hygiene (i do regular floss first, then the waterpik and brush in the end. I do it 3 times a day and I can;t live without this routine. Pls, may I ask you a detail? When we are using the waterpik, des it matter whether the waterpik head tip touches our gums? Or shouldn't it touch them and we only have to assume (to feel, like you said) where the gums are and pump the water from some distance? Please, help me out! Thank you in advance

You are SO KIND thank you for this lovely comment. I don't recommend the head tip to touch your gums - you can feel/assume it's position. Hope this helps!

I just bought my first water flosser and made a minor mess on my sink. It seems imposaible to stop the water from dripping down the handle. I'm also worried because it's difficult to know if I'm doing it well enough to actually get the flossing done.

Next time you visit your dentist - ask them to see if they've noticed improvements. If not - request a demo from them. Sometimes it helps if they can show you on your own teeth. Good luck!

@tomslick2058 4 жыл бұрын

I guess I was doing it wrong rubbing the tip on my gum line. Of course you still end up doing it right because you have to lift it away. But worried doing it this way can cause damage. But the dentist acually touches gums and teeth when they use there pick. When the dentist does it . It does sting and prouduces water. I think they use something different

I just got braces recently and also a cheap waterpik..,I ofc got everything soaked while attempting to use it lol. But are cheap ones even worth it? I bought a Kroger brand water pik. And while using it,it lasts maybe 30 secs to a minute.,tops. Is it better to get an expensive one bc you don’t have to stop and refill it so soon and start over? I hope I’m making sense. Thank you and I very much so,appreciate your energy and enthusiasm on teeth! 🦷 ♥️
