Waterpik Cordless Plus Water Flosser (UK 3-Pin Plug) - White Edition

Product Information

Battery life We fully charge each water flosser and run it on its highest setting until the battery drains. We time how long it takes for the battery to drain. During a consultation with a hygienist or your dentist, the most common advice given is to brush twice a day and floss your teeth. This advice has been proven statistically and is why dental professionals reinforce it at every appointment.

Waterpik advice says to do this by filling the water reservoir with one to two tablespoons of white vinegar mixed with warm water and running this through the water flosser.We choose bestselling water flossers available at UK retailers and enlist a panel of testers to try them out. Each person tests all of the water flossers and we buy all those that we test. Yes, Waterpik flossers can help improve gum problems, including stopping receding gums. But we advise you to visit your dentist to get professional advice about the problem. If your gum condition is very bad then you may require other treatment. What is better: Airfloss or Waterpik? Waterpik Cordless Plus Water Flosser WP450 provides flossing excellence, with cordless convenience. Countertop: A countertop water flosser has a large reservoir base that holds enough water for repeated uses, which means less frequent re-filling. Countertop models may also be more powerful than a cordless water flosser, and you never have to worry about a low battery. I have used the two plug in Waterpiks and in many ways this is a leap forward. It is portable but still quite large, it doesn't need to be plugged in and best of all it eliminates the hose connecting the reservoir to the device delivering the water to your teeth. In all my previous Waterpiks the hose after a few months use has split leaving the device useless . It does not deliver pressure as high as the maximum on the devices that use mains power.”

While the Waterpik unit is easy to wrap your fingers around, it feels quite bulky, especially with a full water reservoir. The Waterpik flosser on this unit has 10 pressure settings delivering 10-100 PSI of pressure, but there is no timer or massage mode. In this sense, it's like the basic Waterpik Ultra WP120 but with a toothbrush included. The toothbrush has three modes: Clean, Whiten and Massage. It delivers up to 31,000 strokes per minute; not that powerful compared to most other sonic toothbrushes which deliver in the range of 40,000 to 60,000. But as far as travelling across America is concerned, the Cordless Plus is a great portable Waterpik. It’s even plane friendly, we took the unit with us on interstate flights and were not stopped by the TSA once.Water flossers can be used in combination with interdental brushes where the gaps in between the teeth allow,' says Dr Sharma. Orthodontic Tip. (OD-100E) Water flows through bristle tip to rinse away debris while cleaning around braces and other dental work. Classic Jet Tip– The most commonly used Waterpik flosser head. A stream of water flows through the tip and blasts away plaque from between the teeth and along the gum line. Waterpik has included two Jet Tips in the box of the Cordless Plus.

The Waterpik Cordless Plus is not waterproof, so you can't use it in the shower. It also doesn't come with any extras like a travel bag. All in all, this is a decent basic model and the different tips are handy if you have gum problems or wear braces. But if you're switching from a different brand you might be disappointed at the level of power. The Waterpik Water Flosser is clinically proven to provide significant oral health benefits.
