Product Information

For good oral health, simply brushing your teeth is not enough. If you just brush, plaque and debris get left behind. The Waterpik Water Flosser cleans away debris that other devices miss. It cleans deep between the teeth and below the gumline to remove up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas. A compact footprint reduces the amount of space the water flosser takes up in your bathroom. Power cable storage (countertop) Philips has built a timer into the flosser to encourage even cleaning between the teeth. It is a small, but very useful addition that gives it a bit of an edge over the competition. The additional cleaning mode, known as deep clean, gives more choice and uses pulsations in the water flow.

Water flossers are one of the less common forms of interdental cleaning. They are safe, with little ability to cause damage to the gums. Going by the studies that have been completed, it seems that water flossers do not fully remove plaque. Despite this, they can still have a positive effect on the gums, as we explain below. Waterpik publishes its own clinical research What you get with Waterpik that you don’t with Philips is a hard plastic storage case for the nozzles. That said, the Power Flosser 3000 does allow for a nozzle to be stored inside the reservoir, when not in use. This water flow does cover a larger surface area and therefore could be considered to be beneficial and more effective. Philips have undertaken their own clinical testing, which has shown how the Quad Stream tip can result in up to 180% healthier gums for those patients with periodontal disease.Some flossers come with a place to stow any additional/replacement nozzles, which helps to keep the bathroom tidy. A removable lid cum storage compartment also works well. Travel pouch/case (cordless) In the next part of our Waterpik Cordless Advanced review, we'll go over the water flosser's usefulness and functionality. Advantages The Ultra Professional WP-660 has all of the essential features we look for in a water flosser. It is a suitable option whether you are taking proactive steps to clean interdentally, have periodontal disease or if you’re recovering from oral surgery.

Both types of flosser come with similar features, not all of which are necessary. From our hands-on testing, the most essential features of a water flosser are: How do they work? In most cases, they fire a stream of water under pressure around the gum line and into the gaps between your teeth. This removes any food particles left behind after brushing and chips away at any plaque. They’re particularly good in areas of the mouth where you might struggle to floss, and can also help clean around bridges, braces and false crowns. In fact, the Cordless Select has a magnetic USB charging cable. This is super convenient and great for travellers.
