WaterPik Demo

Demo on the use of an oal irrigation device

Dental hygienist here. I use the WaterPik, in addition to standard flossing, and recommend it frequently and was able to get some great tips from this video. I like the idea of filling the reservoir twice and the lips closed for a less messy experience. Definitely will be adding that to my patient instruction.

I started using these products recently since I am hesitant to go to a dentist these days. They have really helped me. I use the water pik and the sonic brush 2.0 with the water pik. Works great!

Got one for Christmas and started using it. It's fantastic. It knocks out food particles I'd normally miss with regular dental floss>

OMG thank you for telling me to keep my lips pursed around the pic and then quick spitting. I just bought this unit and my whole bathroom got a shower... I made a horrible mess. Thanks! I am now more comfy with my unit and will use it regularly.

I didn't close my mouth at first and the bathroom looks like a Water Blaster fight took place. Bathroom down for maintenance..

Great advice, I didn't realize I should use 2 fills one for upper and lower. Also great idea using the salt/peroxide solution! Never thought of that! Glad I watched this video, thanks!!!

The best demo I've come across thus far. Thanks!

Best demo I’ve seen yet for this. Hard to not soak mirror, counter, self..lol

Thanks for a clear explanation, you solved my main doubts about time, angle and if it has to be done from both sides.

Great advise

This saved my gums! Highly recommended.
Recommended nightly routine:
1. Brush
2. Irrigate with WaterPik with very warm/hot water
3. Floss

A really good product...it prevents the build of even the smallest amount of plaque-provided that you still brush your teeth regularly.
I use it after the last meal of the day . After using this I do only drink water until next the morning.
I brush my teeth in the morning plus mouth wash -somewhere during the day at work( ca 1 hour after lunch) and then about an hour after dinner-or whenever I have the last meal and beverage of the day.

Glad I found this. I drenched myself and everything around my sink, the counter, and the bathroom mirror when I first used mine.

I prefer and have the type that hooks up to the shower head, no power needed, no mess, no noise, no stopping to refill, less expensive and you can do it while showering. You can also attach it to the sink if you like.

Great video. I love my water pic. Got it today just one use and I already said I will not go another day without it!

Thank you Dr. It's nice to know I can replace regular floss with the water pit. At least that's what I just heard you say. I think I'll use both just to be sure. I LIKES MY TEETH! AND AGAIN THANK YOU.

This is totally different than my periodontist trained me to do. Use a flexible small rubber tip. And move it slowly along the area between teeth and gums, spending extra time between teeth. Keep the pressure around 3, or it can damage your gums. Water temp is personal preference. I like it hot. It cools down quickly while going through the tubing.

Fantastic presentation and demonstration. Thank you.

I liked that you showed how you used it, most videos skipped that.

Are you the dentist from finding nemo?

I can't believe how I missed using this amazing product for 10 years.
