Let me start by saying I have a power toothbrush and use mouthwash regularly. The first time I used a waterpik was while getting ready for bed, I had already brushed my teeth and rinsed with mouthwash. The amount of food that fell out from between my teeth when I used this really surprised me. I couldn’t believe that there was that much left behind. I always thought that my teeth was cleaner than this.
If you want a clean feeling in your mouth that you have never felt before, use this product and mix the water 50-50 with mouth wash.
Let’s use some common sense. You are squirting water onto your teeth at high pressure, if you stare into the mirror and have your mouth wide open, water is going to go everywhere ( believe me ). Simply keep your mouth partly closed, open just enough for the water to flow out, and lean over the sink in the same way you would when spitting toothpaste out. Your teeth and your will stay clean in a way that it never has before. If you smile and don’t lean over the sink, your teeth will still be clean but you will be cleaning your mirror and counter top.
The tub (water container) sits nicely on top of the unit. It is held in place by a rubber grommet which keeps the water from leaking out. I have never had a problem with it falling off or leaking. Here comes the common sense again, make sure it is on a secure part of your counter, not the edge. Make sure it is seated securely on the base, doesn’t take any effort, just look at it. I use this thing daily and have never had a leak or accidentally knocked it off its base.
When you first use it, your gums may bleed a little but nothing to be concerned about. My dentist said it’s no big deal, it just shows that you are cleaning deeper than your gums are used to. Your gums will adjust within 2-3 uses. There is also a pressure adjustment switch and you can build up to full power if you wish that is very useful.
My teeth have never been as clean as they are now. My breath is fresher. My mouth feels cleaner that it has ever felt. This is an amazing product.
