I believe it is the older one. I think the new one is called the ultra?
Nice, does that have a compatible wall adapter?
Is it 100-240 voltage ?
According to the Q&A it is, though you'll definitely need an adapter.
Would you not buy the gift card or has this ended? to value over $100 which i believe say buying two would be 89 each less 10% use that and then the friends and family promo meaning you get 20% off or is this not possible? Im sure you can do both?
who the hell flosses air man?
This sir, is why you missed out on this idea: http://fortune.com/2015/12/16/vitality-air/
How else do you make air fresh?
air floss & waterpik only good for people with deep gum pockets or connected porcelain bridges, not as effective as flossing. But this deal is cheap, below cost price.
how do you know it's below cost price?
and do you mean below cost for a new startup retail business with small buying power?
Cause i get it wholesale from the supplier for a higher price. Seems like a loss leader for big W
dont tell me your store is larger than the BIGW.
Nah, it's not just for "deep gum pockets or connected porcelain bridges". It removes plaque underneath the gums where floss can't reach. It's not a replacement for floss. It's complementary. Also it work so good getting out popcorn hulls.
Use both. Have squeaky clean teeth. Win win.
It's not very effective in removing plaque; you need to manually do this. It is however good for getting bits of food out. You can add mouth-rinse such as colgate savacol to compliment your periodontal hygiene.
True, but savacol can cause staining in the long run. I hear curasept is the better option. Usually dentists recommend chlorhexidine rinses for no more than 2 weeks after minor oral surgery or dental trauma.
if you have deep gum pockets, that's not a good sign but indicative of gingivitis or periodontitis! bridges are better cleaned with superfloss or piksters
gingivitis is a different condition to periodontitis. Bridges are better cleaned with superfloss and interdental brushes but for people with manual dexterity problems this is a good choice.
Sometimes gingivitis leads to chronic periodontitis if left untreated for a long while. True, the water floss is better than no flossing at all. I Don't know if ppl on ozbargain have manual dexterity probs (like really old Ppl) or they are finding an easier way to avoid the string floss. Lol
I was hoping this could make fairy floss
Nice nails :-)
Beaten to it, I was going to post the same thing. Reminds me of when I used to paint my ex's nails. What? I liked the art of it!
hence why she's an ex? ;)
It looks like the Big W logo
Clearly it's a cat..
it looks like jamberry nails, no real ozbargainer would buy those!
Hmmm I looked at this one year ago the Phillips one is not as good as other brands done by independent testing. Portables ones are better for taking out on holiday
Thanks for the post OP, deal alone is good. plus the 2 free heads make this an even better deal
Anyway to check store stock?
Lucky I haven't open the pack I bought from Costco…I tried finding a link on their online store but couldn't find one :(
don't buy this…mechanical flossing is best at removing plaque and tartar. same thing goes for listerine. you're better off brushing your tongue and using a chlorhexidine wash for a short period of time while you figure out what's causing the bad breath.
Yea, my dentist said to not bother with these machines and just floss normally
But it's so hard to fit my big hands in my mouth :(
You don't need to put your hands in your mouth, take a longer piece of floss and use your tongue to position the wire between teeth then you can use your hands to run it into the crack.
Maybe also try using a flossette or interdental brush?
Buy a flossing stick. Woolies sell one for about $10
Ironically Listerine caused a lot of staining on my teeth, something I never experienced prior, my Dentist knew the cause immediately then cleaned it.
What kind of staining do you get? I haven't heard this yet from patients but good to be on the look out. Thanks!
Apparently the mouth wash kills all bacteria, including the kind that prevents staining (makes your teeth very unattractive) on the face of the teeth (the result is black marks that can only be removed with the high pressure tools dentists use to clean teeth).
I stopped using it and have seen no staining since.
Dr Karl., suggests a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution used to gargle is good for bad breath.
Water pik devices are important if you have braces: you can't floss.
Certain medications can cause dry mouth = mouth BO.
Use http://www.oralseven.com/main/
No drying chemicals like SLS in normal toothpastes.
Quite expensive, but if someone can recommend cheaper with enzymes, please let me know.Also GORD or gastric reflux can raise a (really foul) stench (Your Dr. may prescribe Nexium or similiar.)
I've got one of these and they're not that great to be honest. They're portable and might suit someone who travels a lot, but they're more gimmicky than practical. It puffs out a little air and water each time and helps remove food particles between your teeth, but it's no where near as effective as a waterpik or even a cheap $25 off the tap oral irrigator that you can buy off ebay (constant stream of water instead of just the puff of air/water). Like other people said, it doesn't replace flossing/brushing, but it does help remove a lot of food debris.
I have a different experience to this. It's fantastic! I think it's revolutionary compare to the traditional method, much faster too.
Considering how much blood I spit up after first time use, I think it does the same effect as normal method, may not be as perfect, but better than nothing at all.
Also this is much better than using real water, less messy. Make sure you close your mouth, or clean your mirror after.
I've been using a waterpik wp-100 that I bought from the shaver shop two weeks ago on special for $129. It does get rid of food particles that normal flossing cant't get rid of and my teeth definitely feel cleaner.
Could these sorts of devices be too aggressive and cause damage to your gums and cause more recession?
What model number is this as there is a new and older model?
