Congratulations! By selecting the Waterpik®Water
Flosser you are now on your way to better gum health,
and a healthier smile!
With a clinically proven combination of water pressure
and pulsations, the Waterpik®Water Flosser removes
harmful bacteria deep between teeth and below the
gumline – where brushing alone won’t reach.
Thank you for choosing the Waterpik®
Water Flosser.
Oral Care With The Waterpik®
Water Flosser
Traditional brushing
can’t easily reach
hidden food debris and
harmful bacteria.
Flossing has limited
access below the
gumline.
The Waterpik®Water
Flosser removes trapped
food debris and harmful
bacteria.
WELCOME
Traditional Oral Care
