CARE OF YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER
Using Mouthwash and
Other Solutions
Your Waterpik®Water Flosser can be used to deliver
mouthwashandantibacterialsolutions.Askyour
dental professional to recommend the appropriate
solution for you. Note: use of some antibacterial
solutions could shorten the life of your Waterpik®
Water Flosser.
Afterusinganyspecialsolutioninthereservoir,take
amomentaftereveryusetorinsetheunit.Partiallyll
thereservoirwithwarmtapwater.Aimthejettipinto
your sink. Turn on the unit and let it run until empty.
This will help keep the tip from clogging and help your
unit to last longer.
Clean the product when necessary by using a soft
cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser.
Before cleaning, unplug from the electrical outlet.
BeforeexposingtheWaterFlossertofreezing
temperatures, remove the reservoir and run the
unit until completely empty.

Toothbrush Tip

head on the tooth at the gum line. The toothbrush
tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Turn
the Water Flosser on so water flows through the
tip.Usingalightpressure(bristlesshouldnot
bend) massage the brush back and forth with very
short strokes – much like you would with a manual
toothbrush.Repeatonadjacentteeth.Waterwill
flow through the brush, to help simultaneously
clean and rinse the tooth surface.
Plaque Seeker® Tip
Directthejetstreamata90-degreeangletoyour
gumline. Close lips slightly to avoid splashing but
allow water to flow freely from mouth into sink. Start
in the molar (back teeth) area working toward the
frontteeth.Placethetipclosetotheteethsothat
the bristles are gently touching the teeth.
Gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly
between teeth to gently brush and allow the water
to flow between the teeth. Continue until all areas
around and between the teeth both inside and
outside, top and bottom have been cleaned.
