Waterpik WP-100 Dental Water Jet Review
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010The Waterpik WP-100 Ultra Dental Water Jet is clinically well-tried to be more efficient than floss for healthier gums. Most dental professionals advocate brushing and flossing to preserve your dentitions and gums their best. Unfortunately, nearly 80-percent of Americans don’t floss on a average basis, and most people find flossing to be a irritating or unpleasant chore. Finally, there is an operating alternative to flossing that feels great and is simple to complete.
The Waterpik Ultra goes way beyond flossing to keep your gums their safest. Waterpik has designed the Water Jet Dental to deliver a water pressure of 10 to 90 PSI with 1200 pulses per minute. This system delivers a clinically proven combination of water pressure level and pulsation to remove debris and bacteria lodged deep between teeth and below the gum-line — three times deeper than brushing alone. In addition, it massages and stimulates the gums to improve circulation and help promote strong and healthy gums. The Waterpik Ultra is so efficient that it is clinically established to be up to 93-percent more working than flossing at reducing gum bleeding
Here are customer reviews about Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet:
I’ve always prided myself on my good teeth. I supposed that flossing and brushing was adequate…that was until I gone to the dentist, and he told I had the origins of periodontal disease. That scared the hell out of me.
I went home and started using the Sonicare I had bought but never plugged in. That was good, but not enough – I bought a Waterpik because obviously flossing wasn’t cutting it.
I had never used a Waterpik before, and it was some disclosure! I’m still astonished that there are some Waterpik oldtimers who say this machine isn’t strong enough…uh, for what? Peeling paint off a brick wall? This thing absolutely knocked my socks off when it came to the pressure sensation.
I started out at 2 and worked my way up to 7 – it still stings like mad, but I’m getting used to it by now. I put Listerine in the tank to increase the anti-bacteria result.
My dentist went on vacation, and I had to cancel another appointment, so it happened that almost two months had elapsed since the last time I had seen him. In that time, I reliably brushed with the Sonicare four times a day and applied the Waterpik at least once (several tankfuls of water and Listerine valuable.)
Regarding the leaking people talk about – the only time the tank leaks, I notice, is if I put my fingers on the seal when I’m refilling it. If I’m careful to keep my fingers away from that seal, the tank is water tight. So when I returned for my check-up, the dental practitioner was AMAZED. He wasn’t sure what I had done, but he said my gums looked pink and healthy! He had said initially I’d have to get my teeth cleaned every three months because I must be one of those people who gets a tartar build up quicker than other people…well, I had worked religiously on grading back the plaque. (I had also buy a dental mirror so I could determine the back of my front teeth for telltale plaque residual.)
Hmmm, no comment about that plaque…was it because there WASN’T any? My dentist asked me if I had been eating because there was so little build up (I had to tear that out of him because I KNEW he didn’t want to give me credit for working that hard on my dental hygiene!)
The dentist HADN’T recommended a Waterpik, but I knew I had to go to the extreme to beat back the periodontal enemy. My dentitions are so clear, they squeaker!
