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.
We are so convinced that you will be happy with your new Waterpik®Water
Flosser, that we back it up with a 14-day guarantee. If you aren’t satisfied
that your gums are healthier after using the Waterpik®Water Flosser for 14
consecutive days, feel free to return it to us for a full refund.
Thank you for choosing 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.
