Waterpik Ultra Professional Water Flosser, 5 Tips, Advanced Pressure Control System, 10 Settings, Dental Plaque Removal Tool, Black, WP-662UK, 2pin UK Bathroom Plug

Brilliant product; I’ve had it for approximately 7 years and it’s still going! Gives the perfect clean and floss with its many tips! Highly recommended!

I took delivery of this on 6th November 2020 following a check up with my dentist. At my last visit to my hygienist in early 2020 she was unhappy with my oral hygiene and put me on a three monthly return. I brush with a normal toothbrush and toothpaste, then follow up with an electric toothbrush. So I am quite thorough, but my problem has always been flossing. I have tried everything including floss, floss sticks and those different size interdentals. The problem I have is the gaps between my teeth go from very, very tight in several places to quite wide in others. When using interdentals I need at least three different sizes. To be honest the whole routine was so trying I never really got into the habit, hence all the troubles with my hygienist. The visits were very painful - both for the earbashing I got, and the removal of the plaque. Hence the 3 months and the naughty step. When I visited my dentist for a check up in November she noticed the same problem and when I told her it was flossing she suggested a water flosser. So I ordered the Water-Pik and tried it. I bought the stand mount with separate handgrip for two reasons. I didn’t want to keep filling the reservoir whilst flossing, and I didn’t want to hold a heavy flosser in my hand whilst flossing. OK, so this is no use for travelling, but it’s great at home. I found it a delight to use. So much that I look forward to using it. I set myself the goal of using it every single night before I go to bed and despite some close calls I have achieved that so far. (If I miss one I’ll catch up in the morning.) The reservoir is large enough for me to do my whole mouth in one setting, and the handgrip is light and very easy to direct. So my purchase logic was correct. I also enjoy the feeling. Every night I floss I can see between two and five visible food particles dislodged. I am sure there are many more smaller particles I can’t see. Since I floss after brushing my teeth (both manual and electric) I can see that brushing isn’t removing those particles. Imagine how many would build up over a six month period. Anyway, to the point of the story, yesterday I went back for my dental check up and hygienist appointment. As usual I was dreading the usual earbashing. To my intense surprise both my dentist said my mouth was I perfect condition. Healthy gums, no plaque, nothing between the teeth. In dental speak, if you know this, I got 0s for everything. This has never happened before. My hygienist asked me how this happened and I told her about the water flosser. The dentist wasn’t very surprised as she has seen me a few times in between. Anyway, in summary, if your challenges are similar to mine, I can’t recommend this product highly enough. I confirm this is a genuine private review. I’m posting such a lengthy review to help people who may have similar oral hygiene problems to mine. P.S. my wife also uses it but she has always been a good flosser so never had my challenges.

It really is a very useful thing. It complements the flossing. You can floss less and it takes stress of the teeth. Probably better than oil-pulling too. It seems to be one of the best water flossers on the market. The water container is the right size. I only use one - the highest - power setting, but it is strong enough. The handle is not perfectly comfortable and the machine a bit flimsy. But that is unimportant. I am glad I bought this flosser and don't know of a better alternative. However there is one serious flaw: The water container deforms if you put very hot water in it. Heat is the best disinfectant, hence a different - more expensive obviously - material should have been used. It would be ideal if one could run boiling water through the whole system. I haven't tried that. But I did try disinfecting the container and ordering replacement wasn't 100% straightforward. Including the delivery it ended up costing £20. I would have preferred paying £20 more for the original unit with a better container. Like the toothbrush, the water flosser is a dental/medical device and saves future visits to the dentist. So what are £20, or £120 for that matter, compared to that? Personally I would prefer paying double for a medical grade flosser made of stainless steel, glass and silicone through which I could just run boiling water once a week, or even triple for one that would boil the water itself and have a simple thermometer on the container for ease of use. Also it comes with this patronizing shaver socket plug. I have to use an adapter and the ones I found fit so-so. I have understanding for the manufacturer marketing to people unwilling to take care of their health before they get sick, some ignorant enough to take their baths with a hairdrier and install a coffee-maker in the shower if you let them have a real socket there. But it is my review, and personally I would love a medical grade water flosser with a 3-pin plug. If the flosser survives a few years, I will amend the rating to 5.

Good

Works well

Me ha gustado mucho el diseño compacto y la facilidad de uso, así como la variedad de puntas para diferentes objetivos. La El enchufe entra un poco duro en la toma de corriente eléctrica, pero al final entra. Aún estamos probando las distintas funciones, pero de momento nos resulta muy satisfactorio.

Amazing for maintenance after a profesional dental cleaning. Once you try this, you’ll never leave it! The cord could be longer considering plugs are not allowed inside the toilet in this part of the world… I guess that’s the only hassle, other than that, it’s just perfect and won’t take much space in your countertop. Yes it’s on the expansive side, but the quality and power of the machine are great, and you’ll be amazed by the results from the first use. Go for it, you’ll not regret it !!!
