How to Floss Using a Waterpik™ Water Flosser
Flossing is important to your daily oral health routine, but string flossing can be awkward, messy, and hard to do right.
If you are looking for healthier gums, cleaner teeth, and fresher breath, try flossing with water!
WATERPIK is the #1 selling water flosser brand in the world, clinically proven to clean deep between teeth and under the gumline where traditional brushing and string flossing can’t reach.
