4 Must Have Water Flossers

Dental water jets, also known as WaterPiks, are an oral irrigation device. Water jets can be used in place, or as an addition to brushing. Water jets work by spraying a concentrated stream of water that blasts away plaque and germs from on teeth and gums.

Anecdotal evidence also points to the fact that oral irrigators have demonstrated to be beneficial for the prevention and treatment of canker sores. This is because when one uses a dental water jet, the pulsation of the water on the soft tissues of the mouth helps prevent the formation of canker sores. For canker sores that have already formed, the low-pressure pulse is still helpful for reducing the canker sores' lifespan. For some people, the uses of dental water jets even extends to other non-oral care related purposes such as jewelry cleaning.

Now that you are aware of the general purpose of oral irrigators, let’s take a look at some of the most reputable brands and models of waters piks available:

Waterpik Waterflosser Ultra and Waterpik Traveler Flosser

This retails for $99.99 on Amazon and based on its 4.5/5 review, it seems that its price is well worth paying for. It guarantees the removal of plaque by up to 99.99 percent from the areas that are treated. This package includes 1 ultra Water Flosser, 1 traveler Water Flosser, 1 deluxe travel case, and 12 accessory tips.

RediBreeze Oral Irrigator

Made in America by a veteran owned company, this oral irrigator has received a 4.5/5 as well on Amazon. It retails for only $29.95 exclusive of shipping. The RediBreeze Oral Irrigator works a little differently than other dental water jets on the market as it has a tool-free setup and comes with its own faucet. One can seamlessly switch between irrigation and a normal faucet.

Rated 4.4/5 on Amazon, this Waterpik model retails for $54.99 on Amazon. It is marketed as the “easier and more effective way to floss”. It promises the same benefits as number one. It is also touted as a suitable choice for anyone with implants, periodontal pockets, or crowns.
