A water flosser is a device that aims a stream of water at the teeth. It's also called an oral irrigator or a dental water jet. A water flosser can help remove food particles between teeth. It also can remove plaque from teeth.

If you use standard dental floss, and you don't have bleeding or other problems, there's no need to change. Using a water flosser can be helpful for people who have braces, other orthodontics or dental work that makes it hard to use standard dental floss. A water flosser also may be useful for people who have trouble flossing by hand. To lower the risk of contamination with bacteria, a water flosser should be used by only one person. Don't share it with other people in your household.

  I like water flossers because they're just flat out more fun than regular floss, and so on occasions when I can't be bothered with string floss I'll still normally use the water flosser. You can probably save a few more bucks buying the generic ones off amazon. If I had the space though I'd get one of the ones that plug into the wall. This style is good for travel tho.

    I bought an Anjou one from Amazon. Use it at least twice a day since I bought it in 2021, and still kicking along

    Dentist says to not just use the water flosser, but combine with normal flossing

    I have been using this for 5+ years:

    The brush died immediately but the water flosser is going strong as ever with heavy usage. Love it!

    I would need buy the one without the brush.

  Has anyone been able to locate any stock?

  How do you use one without water just splashing everywhere over the sink and surrounds and the mirror?

    @ColdSnap Some tips here (from a different brand):

    https://www.periocenter.com/blog/water-flossing-tips-and-tri….

    Here are some tips and tricks to help you enjoy a “mess-free” experience when you’re adjusting to using a hydro flosser or Waterpik.

    Lean Over the Sink

    You’re about to unleash a spray of water that will need somewhere to go. Plan to lean directly over your sink so that you’re not accidentally spraying water onto the counter or getting it on the floor.

    Keep Your Mouth Open

    Don’t close your mouth when you’re using a water flosser. All of the water will need somewhere to go. As you’re leaning over the sink, keep your mouth open so that it simply drips back down the drain. Try to look straight down into the sink instead of up toward the mirror, that way the water won’t go down your chin.

    Start with the Pressure Set on Low

    Once you turn your water flosser on, there’s a good chance that the pressure will cause some tickling sensations. Most of us never realized that our mouths could tickle until we tried a water flosser for the first time. Keep the pressure low, then gradually bump it up to where you’re comfortable. This setting will differ for everyone. Chances are, you’ll want it low in the beginning then medium to medium-high after several days of practice. The tickling will eventually go away.

    Use Room Temperature or Slightly Warm Water

    The temperature of the water that you’re using is very important. If it’s too hot or cold, your teeth will feel extremely sensitive. Play around with various temperatures until you get it just right. Start with lukewarm, room-temperature water. If that still feels too cool, go with a couple of degrees warmer.

    Consider Using it in the Shower

    Certain water flosser designs are either portable or can be attached directly to your shower head. In either case, being able to use your water flosser in the shower means there’s practically zero risk of making a mess. Some people even prefer to brush their teeth in the shower. Whatever works for you personally, that’s what we recommend sticking with. The key is to find a routine that you’re comfortable with and will remember each day.

  "Waterproof design. Use in the shower

  ^ Consider not doing this ^

  I used mine in the shower every day for a few months until it stopped working.
  First it would turn on randomly then it failed altogether. Seems like water got in.
  Someone bought it for me, I paid them back but never got the receipt.
  So it was $60 down the shower drain heh…
  (unless I buy another and return the faulty one, fraud and unethical but justified…?)
  Also the tank is too small, would have to refill ~3-4 times for a decent ~1 minute floss.

    @So Was Red Thanks for the feedback.
    Sorry to hear it wasn't waterproof.
    They should market it as water-resistant.
    Would be worth reporting to the manufacturer.

    Deebo Baggins on 19/02/2024 - 12:16

    I think I would rather hang on to my receipt than not use a water flosser in the shower.
