When to Water Pik?

The ideal time to use a Waterpik is before you brush your teeth. This is because doing so can allow you to remove food debris and plaque. When you use a Waterpik before brushing your teeth, teeth brushing becomes more effective.

Do you brush your teeth before or after using a Waterpik?

We recommend using the Water Flosser prior to toothbrushing: Removing food and debris enhances the effectiveness of both toothbrushing and toothpaste. Instructing patients to use it first improves compliance.

Can Waterpik damage your teeth or gums?

Can Waterpik damage your teeth or gums? No. Water flossers may actually damage your gums less than floss. They do not put as much pressure on the gums as string floss.
