Confession:  I hate flossing.  I hate having my hands in my mouth.  I hate it.  Every part of it.  Well, except for that clean feeling and that it helps my teeth not fall out.  So that part is good, but really doesn’t it feel a little primitive?  Meat in teeth.  Me pull string through teeth.  Me better.  Know another thing I hate?  Popcorn in my teeth.  Seems like that little kernel can find ways to get deeper and deeper between my teeth and the floss sometimes pushes it down further.  So then I still have popcorn between my teeth except now it’s more in my gums and I’ve had my hands in my mouth and well, flossing sucks.

You can imagine my delight when Waterpik offered to send me their Ultra Dental Water Jet to try out on my floss hatin mouth.  I.Love.It.  My teeth feel really clean.  Really Clean.  The setup is simple, basic plug and shoot system.  The first day I used it, I went for a very low pressure setting, to make sure I wasn’t going to blow my gums out.  The result, a clean that felt cleaner than flossing and reminded me a lot of the machine they use at my dentist’s office.  The next day, I turned up the pressure a little bit.  I’m up to a pressure setting of 4 and loving it.  Popcorn kernels don’t stand a chance when hit by the Waterpik.  I thought the process might be time consuming, but I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I could accomplish the task.  The Waterpik has become part of my daily routine and now my husband is fighting for use of my Waterpik.  Get Your Own Buddy.
