Oral Health
Oral Health is something that has always been important to me. Maybe it’s because I have the world’s weakest enamel and have to work hard to keep my teeth clean. Or maybe it’s because I wore braces for over 3 years and really learned good dental hygiene at that point in my life. I owned a waterpik once upon a time while living with my parents. I haven’t had one in years, but I don’t especially love flossing, so I was excited to get the chance to review the Ultra Dental Water Jet by Waterpik. I know that a lot of people don’t like to floss, me being one of them. I have all sorts of permanent retainers to work around and it’s a bit of a pain. Did you know that using a waterpik is up to 93% more effective than flossing?
Pros: I feel like Waterpik has come a long way over the last 10 years. They’ve always had exceptional products, but it’s neat to see improvements in design and functionality as well as new accessories.
The waterpik works by shooting streams of water out of a special tip. You aim the water down towards your gums and it cleans in between your teeth and along your gumline. You control the intensity of the water with a small dial that goes from 1 to 10. 1 is the least amount of pressure, 10 is the most. As you become accustomed to using the Waterpik, you can increase pressure on your jet.
The compact design is a huge plus as I have next to no counter space in my bathroom, and I like that the reservoir has a top.
The button on the front of the jet is a pause button, and there is also an eject button if you need to change tips. It’s very simple to use and is very effective.
One more feature that I was really impressed with was the different tips that the jet comes with. To see more about the tips and see the waterpik in action, watch the video below.
Cons: The waterpik is quite loud, but I think this is expected. I really can’t find any other cons, this is a well made product and does it’s job.
Price: $59.99
Where to Buy: Waterpik Store or a retailer near you

In addition to Waterpik’s Ultra Dental Water Jet – which I was aware of – they also carry a line of showerheads, such as the EcoFlow 6 Mode – which I wasn’t aware of. A little something for everyone in the family!
