IMPROVE GUM HEALTH WITH EASE The Benefits of Using a Waterpik!
3. CAN IMPROVE GUM HEALTH Waterpiks have been shown to be effective at reducing gingivitis and improving overall gum health. By removing plaque and debris from your teeth and gums, they can help prevent gum disease and other oral health problems.
A Waterpik, also known as a water flosser, is a popular dental tool that uses a stream of pressurized water to remove plaque and food particles from your teeth and gums. While traditional flossing is still an effective way to clean your teeth, Waterpiks offer several benefits that make them an excellent addition to your dental hygiene routine.
4. CAN REACH AREAS THAT TRADITIONAL FLOSSING CAN’T
Here are some good reasons to use a Waterpik:
Waterpiks can reach areas of your mouth that string floss may not be able to access. This includes deep gum pockets and hard-to- reach areas in the back of your mouth. By effectively cleaning these areas, you can help prevent cavities and other dental problems.
1. EFFECTIVE AT REMOVING PLAQUE AND DEBRIS Waterpiks use a stream of water to remove plaque and debris from between your teeth and around gums. The water pressure is gentle enough to avoid damaging your mouth but powerful enough to effectively remove buildup. 2. EASY TO USE Waterpiks are simple to use and can be a good alternative for people who struggle with traditional flossing. They don’t require any special technique, and the stream of water does most of the work for you. This can be especially helpful for people with limited dexterity or who find traditional flossing uncomfortable or difficult.
Overall, Waterpiks are a useful tool for maintaining good oral health. They are effective, easy to use, and can be especially helpful for
people with dental implants or other dental work. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional flossing, consider adding a Waterpik to your dental hygiene routine. –Sarah Ballash EFDA

OUR PATIENTS SAY IT BEST
Inspired by VeganRicha.com
INGREDIENTS • 2 1/2 cups chopped broccoli • 1/4 cup chopped onion • 1/4 cup packed cilantro • 1 tsp oil, plus more for frying • 1/3 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder • 1/2 tsp smoked or regular paprika • 1 tsp chipotle pepper powder

DIRECTIONS 1. In a food processor, add broccoli, onion, cilantro, and 1 tsp oil and process until uniform. Transfer to a bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well to distribute. 2. Let mixture sit for 2 minutes for the broccoli to leak enough moisture so you can form patties. If mixture is too wet, add more chickpea flour. If mixture is too dry and does not stick well, wait another few minutes or sprinkle some water and mix. 3. Shape into 5–6 patties. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add oil and spread it in the pan. 4. Pan-fry the patties for 4–5 minutes per side. 5. Serve with Sriracha, ketchup, barbecue sauce, marinara, or a cooling ranch as desired.
