 Victory over closely spaced teeth July 15, 2006

For many months my wife has had problems of things sticking between two of her teeth. Toothpicks didn't work, dental floss didn't work. I purchased for her, the devices that are pre strung with floss in the hope that having a rigid support, the floss would work...to no avail. Her last resort was the WaterPic. It worked like magic!!!
Great for more than one use! January 11, 2007

This has worked wonders for my dental care. Have to be careful what setting you use it on and the direction. It lifted my cap off. :-)
Only problem is the need to make frequent solutions.
As a Nasal Irrigator October 17, 2007

I use the WP 60 for nasal irrigation and I have found it to be excellent. It has a button I can use to stop the stream and transfer over to the other side. It has a stronger stream than the waterpic that is sold only as a nasal irrigator and I like that also. It does make a lot of noise when I use it but other than that I think it works great as a nasal rinse machine. I did have to pick up the nasal "wand" from another vendor but it attaches fine to the WP60.

I've had my WP-60W for almost two years, ever since I started getting sore gums periodically, but rarely used it regularly. I have almost no counter space by the sink, so I kept putting it in the closet, where it would be forgotten until I started hurting again.
I finally gave in and now keep it perched on the edge of the sink. I had some bleeding the first couple times I used it, but now that's stopped and I even think the most troublesome pocket may be holding less debris. When I'm in a hurry I just irrigate the problem areas, but at night I give myself a thorough session with it. At this point, if I floss after I use the Waterpik, I get hardly anything off of my teeth!
The little monster is loud, but hey, it has to create a lot of pressure from a teeny tiny motor, and I'm sure the short lifespan of 2-4 years is what keeps the price so low. With twice-daily use I don't expect it live more than a couple more years, which frankly is a great bargain if I can avoid an oral surgeon or more fillings due to receding gums.
Last week I decided to splurge on a Waterpik Ultra Cordless Dental Water Jet, which was awful compared with the 60W--tiny reservoir, extremely awkward to handle, impossible to clean thoroughly--and is going right back to the store. Even with its noise and size, the 60W is far easier to use. I did consider the QuickBreeze - Dental Oral Irrigator w/ 36" hose, but it doesn't allow you to use mouthwash, which is important if you've got serious gum problems.
Here are some tips for the WP-60W:
* Press the reservoir down firmly over the gasket. When the water level is low it's likely to lose its connection; either press the reservoir down again or add water.
* When you get started, set the pressure to the lowest level and hold the pik pointing into the sink until the water starts; then you can get it into your mouth with no spray and carefully turn up the pressure.
* I never leave water in the reservoir; if you do, you're just asking for contamination or bacteria. That's why I decided not to buy the one with the covered reservoir.
* To keep things as sanitary as possible, rinse the reservoir and run clear water through the machine if you've used mouthwash. Remove the 'pik' and rinse it out under the faucet. Then hold the handle in the sink below the level of the reservoir to allow water to drain out of the cord and shake it into the sink a few times to remove any remaining water in the handle. I then turn the reservoir over and prop it up on the unit until it dries out, since I'm concerned with bacterial or algae buildup.
All in all, this is a great machine. It sounds like Waterpik is great about replacing bad units within a year (without a receipt!!). Nothing is made the way it used to be, but given the low price I'm not too concerned.
