How Does a WaterpikTM Water Flosser Work

A WATERPIK water flosser uses an effective combination of pressure and pulsations to clean where your toothbrush can’t reach—giving you healthier gums and cleaner teeth in just a minute a day.

Watch this video to see a WATERPIK water flosser in action:

As the video shows, the WATERPIK water flosser reaches places that your toothbrush can’t. It cleans between your teeth and below the gumline amazingly well and is over 50% more effective than string floss for reducing gingivitis.

Common Features of WaterpikTM Water Flossers

All WATERPIK water flossers include:

  • Motor with pump
  • Water reservoir
  • Water flosser tip

The motor and pump create a stream of pressurized, pulsating water that flows from the reservoir through the tip and into your mouth.

Water Pressure and Pulsation Do the Work

The cleaning power behind the WATERPIK water flosser is a combination of water pressure and pulsations. When you direct the water from the flosser tip at your gumline and between your teeth, the combination of pressure and pulsations clean away harmful plaque bacteria and food debris.

Studies show that pulsating water is more effective at cleaning vs. a steady stream of water. And you can adjust the pressure setting to your liking, from a gentle to maximum cleanse.

Get an Unbelievably Clean and Healthy Mouth

Now that you know how the WATERPIK water flosser works, imagine what it can remove from your teeth and between your gums, even after you brush.

Water flossing is easy, fast, and effective for anyone who wants a cleaner, healthier mouth. And you’ll love the feeling you get after using the WATERPIK water flosser!
