      Ouch, the stream was too powerful?

        Yeah I reckon so, it was loud AF and while at the time it felt ok actually flossing an hour or so later I was in agony, and ordinarily I have zero issues with teeth or gums. Chucked it in the bin the next day.

        i doubt this item would be any less powerful..

        some people are just not used to the water flosser stream…
        and problem is if the stream is not powerful enough then it would not be able to dislodge the food

        these water flosser devices are not much better than using a pikster etc..
        which does not have the issue with the powerful stream issue.

        you would still need to floss anyway so that it can clean below the gumline.

          @pinkybrain: I see, I was hoping to not have to floss but that makes sense pikster and water flosser only help between teeth and have the same end result.

          So you prefer pikster because you find it's easier on the gums?
          Is that even with one's where you can regulate the water pressure?

            @ozilicious: You don’t really need to string floss or a pikster with a water flosser unless you have really open gaps that still retain food a lot, usually around the molars that pick up really stringy bits.

              @Whodis: go google it

              but I am pretty sure you still need to floss..

              e.g.
              https://oralb.com/en-us/oral-health/why-oral-b/floss/water-f….

              "It is not recommended to replace traditional flossing with water flossing. While water flossers do a great job of removing food particles and rinsing away plaque by shooting a stream of water between your teeth, they cannot replicate the scraping motion of string floss that removes tartar-causing plaque that can eventually cause gum disease. It’s best to incorporate both traditional and water flossing to your daily routine for optimal oral hygiene."

            @ozilicious: you can get a cheap one on ebay to test,
            but yeah flossing is still required.

            if you think about it, the water can only shoot inbetween the teeth to dislodge food (like the pikster)
            but it can't go below the gum line..

            So you prefer pikster because you find it's easier on the gums?

            yeah, just find a suitable size for your teeth gap.
            and you still need to floss.

            the pikster gives you total control without the issue of the water pressure shooting against your gums..

            Is that even with one's where you can regulate the water pressure?

            are you talking about this deal or something else?
            there are models that allow you to choose the water pressure..

            as noted, if the pressure is not strong enough then it won't dislodge the food particles..
            but it can still feel strong against the gums if it hits it.

            these water flosser are just too much of a hassle to used compared to just using floss and a pikster.

            see this

    I generally recommend the waterpik cordless advanced because you can use it in the shower, and the key usually is to make it as convenient as possible for people to do their in between teeth care. The moment it starts becoming difficult, the compliance drop off rate ramps up dramatically, and you might as well be telling a brick wall to floss.

    I’m told the Colgate Blast (green one) is good too.

      Thank you for your perspective, I was wondering how this thing doesn't make a mess at the sink, so you'd say portable for shower use is the main feature to look for?

        the cordless has a water tank (which is removable)
        which may allow you do one or two cleaning session.

        generally you want the tank and nozzle to be empty of water and dry if you don't use it regularly to avoid potential bacteria buildup in the water flosser nozzle or tank due to moisture etc..

        so it may end up being a hassle to empty the tank and dry it each time

  I'm no dentist but maybe the chief benefit of this is maybe you can get into your gum pockets?

  Any dentists care to chime in pls?

    Whodis on 29/01/2024 - 13:43

    It’s a floss/interproximal aide replacement. Depending on your teeth and how you use it, it can be as good as if not better string flossing or piksters.
    I generally recommend all my patients get one because using something between the teeth is better than absolutely nothing at all, and for the ones that really take to using it, the hygiene improvement is persistent and usually very significant.

      Bunnyburger on 29/01/2024 - 21:36

      I see. thanks for the advice, that helps plenty of folks here make an informed purchase…I already use piksters, should I supplement with this?

      Also does my gum pockets hypothesis check out? >.<

        you should ask your local dentist about these gum pockets questions since it can damage your gums if you are not careful about what you trying to do here with these water flosser.

        but if think about it logically, it is not good idea to shoot strong water jet stream in your gum pockets (whether it is due to gum disease or not)
        it will only cause the gums to be more inflamed and possibly bleed.

        if you need teeth properly clean in the gum pockets then you need to do deep cleaning by the dentist
        which can actually removed the plaque/tarter around the tooth in your gum pockets.
        The water flosser will never be able to do this.

        For general removal of food particle below the gum pocket you should use floss which is less invasive than a powerful water jet stream (which can damage your gums or cause to be inflamed/bleed)

        You should take anyone's online advice with some caution (whether if you think they are a real dentist or random commenters including me)
        and talk to your local dentist.
