Waterpik review: The details, pros and cons
The Waterpik has honestly made flossing way more approachable. I won't lie — I thought it was too good to be true, but knowing it removes up to 99.9 per cent of plaque makes me feel confident. And it's even proven to be 50 per cent more effective than regular floss (crazy, right?). Plus, it's the only water flosser with the ADA (American Dental Association) Seal of Acceptance, which is reassuring.
Why is this a great option? Well, aside from benefiting people who don't enjoy traditional flossing, it can also assist people with a disability, braces, implants or other dental work.
Pros 👍
It has three pressure settings: I appreciate that I can customize my cleaning because some spots are more sensitive than others. Plus, some areas need more force (like tighter gaps and wisdom teeth).
It's waterproof: I don't have to worry about getting water all over it (because it will happen while using it). And I can use it in the shower! You might not think you'll do this, but hey, why not?
It's cordless and compact: I love that it doesn't have a cord because I could foresee that stressing me out while trying to use it. Plus, it charges quickly with a magnetic connection (which is pretty snazzy). It's also perfect for travel, mainly because of its compact design and included accessories.
It replaces flossing: As mentioned, I'm not the biggest fan of flossing. However, since owning this water flosser, there hasn't been a day I've gone without it. It fits into my daily routine perfectly, and I don't dread using it. It has been a game-changer.
Cons 👎
It's messy: When putting this device to use, be sure to have a towel nearby because it might get a little wet. Water does tend to spray, but once you get the hang of it (and keep your head over the sink!), it's fine.
Doesn't hold a lot of liquid: Since I opted for the cordless version, the water reservoir is a lot smaller. I typically fill it up twice to ensure a thorough cleaning. It's kind of a pain, but not something that deters me from it.
It takes a while to charge: While it holds a decent charge for days at a time, I do notice it takes a few hours to reach a full charge. It's not a huge deal, just a little inconvenient at times.

Many shoppers, like me, praise this product. "My dentist recommended this and I use it every day now," writes one person. They confirmed the "noise level is good" and the design makes it "easy to handle."
Another customer said it "truly revolutionized" their "dental care routine." They said it has made their "teeth and gums healthier than ever before."
"This works well to clean hard-to-reach teeth," shares another person. However, they said it "does take getting used to using!" They also warn to "lean over the sink" while using it.
"My hygienist noticed a huge improvement in the health of my gums," writes a fourth reviewer. They also shared, "I found it a bit bulky to maneuver at first but I quickly got over that."

My final thoughts
If you dislike flossing or find it hard to commit to, I highly suggest the Waterpik Cordless Water Flosser. It's quick, effective and totally easy to integrate into your routine. However, if you find the water reservoir too small and want to avoid refills, you can opt for the original Waterpik with a larger tank. Either way, you'll see an improvement in your dental care (and your gums will thank you later!).
