Waterpik Cordless Plus Water Flosser (UK 3-Pin Plug) - White Edition

Product Information

Beautiful smiles begin with healthy gums and teeth. So, it is important to ensure that the teeth and gums are maintained in a healthy state by brushing regularly and flossing daily. This helps to remove the plaque/tartar that forms on teeth and keeps the microorganisms at bay. Bought this and a travel one as have been having problems with my gums. If you are torn between the two I would definitely recommend getting the full size version. The two are not really comparable. Water tank in full size only needs filling once and you can change the pressure from 1 to 10. 5 is enough for me at the moment.” Despite the small hiccup with having to scrape down the charging terminals we described earlier in the review, using the Cordless Plus was a fairly simple experience. Final Thoughts However, that's really where the benefits end because you're getting less pressure (80 PSI) than other models, only three power settings, and two tips included. It looks and feels quite cheap and dated compared to their others. If you want a compact flosser, it might make more sense to buy a cordless one with similar settings and a lower price, like this one from TUREWELL. Waterpik and toothbrush combos The Cordless Plus does offer a clean that is on par with a counter-top model (unless you want more pressure). But bulky handle, smaller reservoir and constant need to be charged make this particular Waterpik impractical to be regularly used at home.

So, it is always best to have a discussion with your dentist or hygienist on what is best for your teeth and gums. Pressing the power button saw the Cordless Plus roar into action. The sound is roughly twice as loud as your standard electric toothbrush. If you use this water flosser while people are sleeping you will almost certainly wake them up. Plaque Seeker Tip– Three thin tufts of bristles boarder the hole that water shoots out. This flosser tip has been designed for dental restorations (like crowns, bridges and implants). The bristles and water stream work together to remove the plaque that often clings to these restorations. As far as the clean goes, we were more than happy with the results. The only people who will be dissatisfied are those of you who use a counter-top model on the highest pressure setting. Water flossing is becoming more popular by the day and is considered by many medical professionals to be as good as, or better than traditional flossing. But you can also use it as a traditional flossing supplement if you're really committed. Your dentist may recommend using an oral irrigator to help improve your gum health, especially if you have bleeding gums, a sign of early gum disease. You can read more about this in our guide to Waterpik solutions fo r periodontal disease.

Although this review is of the cordless plus, our experience with the Cordless Professional was identical. This review can also be used to determine whether or not the professional model is right for you. Water flossers can be an additional aid, over and above interdental cleaning, and some patients like using these.'

So if you are choosing between these two models, we currently recommend choosing the Cordless Plus over the Cordless Professionals. Put your savings towards buying replacement flosser tips in the future. 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.Mineral deposits in water can reduce the effectiveness of your water flosser over time, particularly if you live in a hard-water area. The Waterpik flosser on this unit has 10 pressure settings delivering 10-100 PSI of pressure, but there is no timer or massage mode. In this sense, it's like the basic Waterpik Ultra WP120 but with a toothbrush included. The toothbrush has three modes: Clean, Whiten and Massage. It delivers up to 31,000 strokes per minute; not that powerful compared to most other sonic toothbrushes which deliver in the range of 40,000 to 60,000.

Orthodontic Tip– Water shoots through a tapered cluster of bristles. This flosser tip has been designed to be used with braces and other orthodontic appliances. Cleaning time We fill up the water reservoir on each flosser and time how long it takes for the tank to drain. Because of the long charge time you will have to remember to place the Waterpik unit on charge once a week, otherwise you risk it dying on you mid-use. Countertop: A countertop water flosser has a large reservoir base that holds enough water for repeated uses, which means less frequent re-filling. Countertop models may also be more powerful than a cordless water flosser, and you never have to worry about a low battery. Waterpik is the only brand clinically proven to be more effective than traditional dental floss or air floss for reducing plaque and gingivitis. And the Orthodontic Tip combined with the Water Flosser is clinically proven to be up to 3X as effective as dental floss for removing plaque around braces and other orthodontic appliances.

Tips:All water flossers have standard water jet tips, but some include others for special purposes. These can be for gum care, cleaning around implants, or flossing with braces. Read more about water flossers for braces. Dentists recommend flossing at least once per day. Because using a Waterpik flosser is so convenient, you might want to use it every time you brush. People wearing braces may even floss after every meal. Can a Waterpik be shared?
