With the growing popularity of water flossing, many are curious about whether a Waterpik can clean teeth as effectively as a dentist. The answer is yes, but with some important caveats.
Waterpiks use a stream of pulsating water to remove plaque and bacteria from teeth and gums. This can be just as effective as traditional flossing, and it may even be more effective for people with certain dental conditions, such as gum disease or braces. However, it is important to use a Waterpik correctly in order to get the best results. You should hold the Waterpik at a 90-degree angle to your teeth and gums, and you should move it slowly along the gum line. You should also be sure to use the correct water pressure setting. If you use too much pressure, you could damage your gums.
