The Waterpik Oral Irrigator is an accessory that uses pressurised water to effectively and easily remove bacterial plaque from teeth and gums. It is a battery-operated device that provides the following benefits:
- Its 150 ml container is sufficient to access all corners of the mouth without having to refill it. It is designed for a cleaning time of 35 seconds.
- It is 99.9% effective in removing bacterial plaque. This is possible because the pressurised water reaches more places than other cleaning devices. Its operation is similar to that of the irrigators used in dentistry.
- In healthy gums, it only prevents the swelling that causes bleeding. It is recommended for people with mild gingivitis, as it does not produce a strong friction that inflames the gums. However, it is able to remove plaque.
- Easily cleans dental crowns, implants and orthodontic appliances. Easily accesses periodontal pockets.
- Cleaning with this device leaves a fresh and hygienic sensation, being very similar to toothpaste and rinse, but without menthol.
