Is a WaterPik worth it?

[AintNobodyHereButUsChickens]

I currently have £89 worth of Boots points and the WaterPik I’m looking at is only £30. Are they good?

I would say not worth it.

Yes, they are fabulous! My dentist rates them

No, tepe brushes are much better.

I hated mine - I was completely incapable of using it without spraying water all over myself! Plus the cold water hurt my teeth.

I use interdental brushes now and they are so much better!

You can use warm water in them.

I have one and love it because I can’t get on with tepee brushes in all of my teeth. Mine is this one though, I don’t know if a £30 is any good

My dentist is for either tepee brushes or water flossers.

I liked mine but still ended up with gum disease. Interdental brushes are much more effective.

I bought one. Never use it now. Interdental brushes instead. My dentist doesn’t think they do much.

It should be £75, I think it’s on offer at £30.

A Waterpik isn't instead of Tepes but in addition to.

I am a dentist. There is no need to use both. Just use tepes and an electric toothbrush. A waterpik will add nothing.

I'm quite happy with advice from the Charles Clifford Dental Hospital, thanks.

I just can’t get on with them with some of my teeth. I can’t fit an orange one in, and the pink ones curve and stab me. Is a waterpik a good idea in that situation?

I have a water flosser (not the WaterPik make) and I couldn't be without it.

No amount of brushing gets right between my teeth - even after a thorough brush, lots of food particles are removed with the water flosser 🤢

I bought one and didn't think much of it. I found it a faff and it hurt a bit/ my gums quite sensitive with it. I am back to using floss now and find it more convenient.

In that case either a Waterpik or floss.

I hated it. Was sick of getting covered in water every time I used it. Waste of money for me. I prefer tepe brushes and flossettes.

I loved mine..... until it took one of my fillings out! I now use it to clean the grout in the shower 🤣

I like it , use warm water and do it in the shower.

I have an impacted wisdom tooth and the water pik is the only thing that gets the food out from between it and my molar.

Yes I waterpik. The brush. Then floss. Feel all 3 is best for perfect oral hygiene

Cool thanks.

Yes love it.

I find mine brilliant - my teeth never felt so clean and it gets out stuff that nothing else has ever been able to manage without shredding my gums and making them bleed.

They are great. Fill it with warm water and use it in the shower. My hygienist recommended it, and has been impressed with what a good job it does.
