The Truth About Waterpiks

     Waterpiks kick butt!  They clean with tiny jets of pulsating water that cleans around the gums, between the teeth and under bridges and braces, where your toothbrush and even floss sometimes cannot reach.  The pulsating jets flush out food particles from difficult to reach spots.  If you have any questions about proper use of your waterpik, talk to your dentist or hygienist.  And remember, waterpiks will not remove plaque, only food particles.  Therefore it is a valuable part, but not the sum total of your home care.  Your dentist's recommendations of brushing and flossing still rings true.
