Are dental water jet cleaning systems really worth using?
~Me~ asked:
ie; Water Pik
In addition to (obviously) brushing twice a day….
I wonder if they’re a wasteful purchase or a wise investment in oral hygiene?
Are they harmful or helpful to the gums and do they truly assist as much as is advertised in keeping plaque and tarter from building up?
Any dentists or hygienists out there have any info?
Thank you all for sharing your experience.

I bought one and it made my gums bleed and my teeth hurt. To be honest i rarely use it. If i use it after brushing my teeth it takes that clean, minty feeling away. if i had to do it over again, i wouldnt buy it.

Yes, they are very, very helpful. Almost like a sandblaster to a rusted work tool, water pics hammer away at your teeth but not so hard as to damage the teeth or skin that surround them.

Yes. They clean under the gum line and get debris that is difficult with just a brush.
Do all four.
1. water pic
2. brush ( 3 times a day )
3. floss
4. special dental rinses
