Can you down load the instructions online and have a look ?

I wouldn't - mine scares the crap out of me and it is super messy!

I remember my BIL bringing one to show us when they first came out - I was about 9 or 10, I loved it! Let her try, see what she thinks. I can't think of any reason why removal of plaque would be a bad thing

I lost my front tooth due to a water flosser the first time I used it, I obviously had weak teeth but it completely cracked it and now I have a false one at aged 28

Yes, just use the softer setting. It's a great habit to get into at a young age.

@100percentplease what brand did you get? I'm thinking of getting one the whole family can use.

This one. It had good reviews. It’s meant to be arriving today so will give it a go and report back.

Oh I LOVE it.

Feel as though I’ve been for a scale and polish and (gross, sorry) you can definitely see ‘stuff’ in the sink. My teeth bled a fair bit but I have awful gums and they bleed anyway. I can’t go for scale and polishes anymore as it hurts too much.

A bit of a mess job for before make up goes on!!
