This is my Waterpik water flosser review.
Waterpik is a name that has always been associated with advancements in the dental hygiene world and creating excellent products that people turn to when they want professional cleaning at home. Over the years, Waterpik has released a number of affordable and effective products that allow people to floss in an innovative and different way than the traditional method of using dental floss.
Many people have had great success using the Waterpik products and swear that they would never return to traditional flossing methods because of the comfort and ease of use that these products provide.

Why Waterpik?
Dental hygiene is an extremely important part of having healthy teeth.
One of the most common problems that people encounter when trying to find the right kind of dental hygiene items is the issue of quality.
Many items out on the market claim to be of high quality but do not perform their jobs adequately. This, combined with the fact that many people do not floss regularly leads to many great items being looked over and poor dental hygiene. However, there are many products that provide excellent care of teeth in an exciting and unique way.
Some of the best oral flossers are designed and built by Waterpik.
Waterpik is the company that first invented the oral irrigator for use in dentistry in 1962. Since then, Waterpik has become a common household name for an oral irrigator.
In the USA, Waterpik mouth irrigators are extremely popular because they clean very thoroughly. Compared to competitors, these devices are positioned mainly in the upper class and are definitely worth the money. Waterpik units have no real weaknesses.
According to thousands of users’ experience, you can’t do much wrong with a Waterpik oral irrigator. The water pressure is higher than the competition & the quality of craftsmanship is consistently high.
Benefits of Water Flossing
Waterpik oral irrigator achieves its goal by using water pressure to sweep away plaque and bacteria. Many models include multiple different tips to attach to the water flosser that creates different feelings and perform different functions.
There are up to 10 different water pressure settings that are designed to clean away plaque and provide the maximum amount of comfort for the user. The use of water allows for deeper cleaning than regular flossing because the water pressure thoroughly cleans teeth and reaches places that regular flossing can not.
Many people hate flossing when it comes time to clean teeth. If one does not keep up on their dental hygiene, they soon find that they have cavities and other health issues. Flossing can be extremely painful and time-intensive, however, there are options out on the market that is unique and provides a deeper cleaning than traditional flossing.
The Waterpik Water Flossers are fantastic oral hygiene tools that use water pressure to get rid of plaque and bacteria, providing an excellent cleaning experience. Of course, for those that enjoy the freedom that water flossing offers but wish for more features, the Waterpik cordless models are also an extremely viable option.
Many people turn to these products for their comfort, cleaning ability and versatility and enjoy the fact that they can get an extremely thorough cleaning without having to resort to traditional, painful methods.

Waterpik Sidekick WF-04
In my opinion, this is the best-looking flosser from Waterpik. The water reservoir serves as a travel case thanks to the modular design. Assembled for travel, the unit hardly takes more space than a paperback.
