A Waterpik Can Help Achieve Optimal Oral Health
We all know flossing is essential to our oral health routine. In fact, if you don’t floss, studies show you’re missing out on cleaning up to 40% of the surface area of your teeth, leaving them vulnerable to plaque, cavities, and decay! For those who may not floss daily or are looking for an alternative way to remove food particles and debris from between their teeth, a Waterpik is an excellent option — especially if you have dental work, such as bridges, implants, or crowns!
Here are some benefits of investing in this wonderful alternative to flossing.
A Waterpik is easy to use.
Did you know that according to a National Health and Nutrition Examination survey, roughly 32% of individuals aged 30 and older floss their teeth on a regular basis? Whether it’s because flossing can be tedious and daunting or they forget, using a Waterpik is easier than wrapping floss around your fingers and manipulating it around your mouth and in between each tooth.

Remove plaque.
Plaque is the culprit of bacteria buildup, which leads to tooth decay and cavities! A Waterpik effectively combines pressure and water and removes food, plaque, and debris left behind that brushing alone cannot remove!
Reverse gum disease.
Gum disease, also known as gingivitis, is caused by bacteria in your mouth that feeds on plaque. In some cases, gingivitis can be reversed by proper care and plaque removal.
