Waterpik Water Flosser Ultra Professional, Plaque remover for teeth, White

I was looking for something to replace plastic floss... And then found this! The Waterpik is one of those products people often assume is a gimmick, until they actually use it. It's very effective and he adjustable pressure settings make it easy to start gentle and increase as needed, which is great for sensitive gums. It’s simple to use once you get the hang of it, and the large water reservoir allows for a full flossing session without constant refilling. It does take up some counter space (or you can keep it in a drawer like I do) and makes a bit of noise, but neither is a deal-breaker. I personally love it, and my husband—who was convinced it was just a gimmick—is very impressed as well. After only a couple of uses, he’s already noticed his plaque looks significantly better. Overall, it’s a practical and effective upgrade to brushing that makes flossing easier and more consistent.

Absolutely fantastic bit of kit! I originally ordered the handheld from amazon...but then saw this ! Amazon let me sent the small one back...so I changed it for this one . First time my gums poured with blood....within 3 days of using the normal head and the pickpocket on the pockets...all bleeding has stopped! Feels like I have had them professionally cleaned ever time! Watch some YouTube videos first so you know what you are doing. Only wish I had bought one sooner !!! Looks great on the side too....(p.s I have had gum disease and have some horizontal bone loss) ...great value for money...five stars

I like that this little machine works very effectively at removing pre-plaque and food particles otherwise left by tooth brushes and interdental brushes. I had no idea so much detritus was in my mouth! It makes my mouth feel squeaky clean, as never before with the use of a sonic brush - and my dentl hygeine was excellent in the first place, according to my dentists (now a rarified species). The customer service was excellent - as below. I don't like how flimsy it is and the flossing handle splits and stains where the plastic hose goes into the rubber housing at the other end from the machine. On asking the vendor how to fix/replace it, the machine was immediatley replaced, although I was told-off for not sending the first one back fast enough when in truth I had never been sent a return label or instructions until that demand - it was just cupboarded. So the same thing has happened to this handle, but I have used a fine piece of transparent duct tape to stop the split worsening, although the discolouration is still increasing, from mould, horribly enough. So keepig moud at bay meqans a lengthy drying process after each use. In addition, i was happily using it on my excellent gums until one area started bleeding - turns out it was set too high. A great device but tricksy to use and maintain.

I bought this, having struggled with conventional flossing for years. paid full price, and kept my faith that the which reviews would be found correct. I was not disappointed - once I got my head around the range of flossing tips, and pressure settings, the use of the device brought almost immediate improvement to my dental and gum health. I took youtube advice, and started off with the general purpose tip, and the lowest setting. The result was a pretty pleasant experience. The reservoir holds a couple of minutes of active use, and with a handy on/off control on the handset, the ability to control the flossing action is pretty easy, and intuitive. The fresh and squeaky clean sensation on my teeth is now easily achieved, and my only uncertainty is to whether or not to brush my teeth before of after the floss session. At the moment, I’m still experimenting with that. If you are a little intimidated by the size and general oddness of the machine - with a change of toothbrushing habit, I would just say to go for it. It works. I think I won’t take it on holiday with me, but I've got used to having it parked at the side of the sink. Update - Nov 2025 - It is still going strong and remains part of my daily routine, always at bedtime - and before brushing. I have convinced family and friends about its effectiveness, and I do find space for it in the carry-on bag.

It is easy to use,powerful and leaves my teeth feeling much cleaner and fresher after use.The different pressure settings are very useful. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to improve their dental hygiene .

I took delivery of this on 6th November 2020 following a check up with my dentist. At my last visit to my hygienist in early 2020 she was unhappy with my oral hygiene and put me on a three monthly return. I brush with a normal toothbrush and toothpaste, then follow up with an electric toothbrush. So I am quite thorough, but my problem has always been flossing. I have tried everything including floss, floss sticks and those different size interdentals. The problem I have is the gaps between my teeth go from very, very tight in several places to quite wide in others. When using interdentals I need at least three different sizes. To be honest the whole routine was so trying I never really got into the habit, hence all the troubles with my hygienist. The visits were very painful - both for the earbashing I got, and the removal of the plaque. Hence the 3 months and the naughty step. When I visited my dentist for a check up in November she noticed the same problem and when I told her it was flossing she suggested a water flosser. So I ordered the Water-Pik and tried it. I bought the stand mount with separate handgrip for two reasons. I didn’t want to keep filling the reservoir whilst flossing, and I didn’t want to hold a heavy flosser in my hand whilst flossing. OK, so this is no use for travelling, but it’s great at home. I found it a delight to use. So much that I look forward to using it. I set myself the goal of using it every single night before I go to bed and despite some close calls I have achieved that so far. (If I miss one I’ll catch up in the morning.) The reservoir is large enough for me to do my whole mouth in one setting, and the handgrip is light and very easy to direct. So my purchase logic was correct. I also enjoy the feeling. Every night I floss I can see between two and five visible food particles dislodged. I am sure there are many more smaller particles I can’t see. Since I floss after brushing my teeth (both manual and electric) I can see that brushing isn’t removing those particles. Imagine how many would build up over a six month period. Anyway, to the point of the story, yesterday I went back for my dental check up and hygienist appointment. As usual I was dreading the usual earbashing. To my intense surprise both my dentist said my mouth was I perfect condition. Healthy gums, no plaque, nothing between the teeth. In dental speak, if you know this, I got 0s for everything. This has never happened before. My hygienist asked me how this happened and I told her about the water flosser. The dentist wasn’t very surprised as she has seen me a few times in between. Anyway, in summary, if your challenges are similar to mine, I can’t recommend this product highly enough. I confirm this is a genuine private review. I’m posting such a lengthy review to help people who may have similar oral hygiene problems to mine. P.S. my wife also uses it but she has always been a good flosser so never had my challenges.

its ok ! Good buy ! Would recommend !!!

This is my third Waterpik, my previous one having broken after about 10 years use. This is an essential part of my teeth cleaning routine and I hate being without one. This one cost about the same as my last one but does just as good a job. The highest pressure it produces is not quite as high as my last one but then I never needed to use that and this one produces enough pressure for my liking and also has a massage function. The footprint is a bit smaller than my last one so is easier to fit beside the bathroom sink.
