| Editorial Review :
When used after regular brushing and flossing, this Waterpik irrigating system removes stubbornly lodged food bits and bacteria that can cause gingivitis and bad breath. Two reservoirs with ounce/millimeter guides are included: a large one for warm water and a small one for antibacterial solutions. Of the four cleaning attachments, two send pulsating jets of water into hard-to-reach crevices, especially around braces, crowns, and bridgework. A soft rubber-tipped attachment cleans under the gums, while the fourth attachment is a spoon-like device that scoops bacteria off the tongue, keeping bad breath at bay. An on/off switch is located on the base, which plugs into the wall, while a switch on the tool handle regulates pressure. The large reservoir doubles as a cover. With the cover on for storage, the compact Waterpik unit measures 7-1/4 by 4-3/4 by 4 inches. It comes with a two-year warranty against defects. --Ann Bieri
Customer Review :
Very pleased with this product
Like many other reviews I have owned an older model for years and was very pleased with it's performance, but then the hose sprung a leak and I could not fix it, so I researched the new models for a replacement. I read a bunch of reviews for the WP-72 and was concerned that some people gave it low marks for reason it somehow gave out after a short period of time. I went ahead and ordered it and am very pleased with the unit and it's performance. One thing Water Pic does not tell you is that like on my older model, sometimes after you take the water container off and then put it back you need to prime the unit to get the water flowing again. This is simply done by placing your mouth around the end of the nossel with an air tight fit, turn on the unit, suck air from the nossel for 1-2 second and then "Wolla" it works again. Sorry to say there are are people who have never tried this and complain that the unit is somehow defective. If the motor goes out then that is a different issue, but I believe for the most part it is lack of priming the unit. Also ordering this unit from Amazon cost me $37.00 compared to a similar model from Wal Mart for $95.00 + tax.

Waterpik Professional WP-72 Review
This product works really well. The two well system, is very convient and the self storage of all the extra components is great.

Defective Hose
This item has a lousy hose... over time becomes brittle and almost impossible to fix.
Splits keep occuring - ok if you want a shower - poor hose material makes an otherwise good product very frustrating to use.
For a real adventure try to go to their web site and get a real body...

Ok, but all the appliances are not needed. The cheaper model is better.

WaterPik is a great product, but ...
I received my Waterpik, and within two weeks, the pump failed. A replacement unit was sent and received within ten days, but there was a large piece of plastic rattling inside the unit. I am hoping the third one is a charm. They are a great product and do an excellent job,- when they work. I have decreased my dental visits because of good dental hygiene, and these units contribute greatly.

hard to manage
Made for people with small hands, large bathroom counters, and desire to get soaked. This product does it's job, but is such a pain to use that I dred using it. The trigger is poorly placed, and the handle leaks even when you turn the waterpick off.

Questions & Answers
Question : I know this is a REALLY stupid question, but can I take my electric toothbrush and my DS on the airplane?
I've read the list of banned stuff, but although it mentions batteries, it mentions wet ones..... I've no idea what that is though, so can anyone tell me a yes or no to the electric toothbrush and my Nintendo DS on the plane question? Thanks in advance!
Answer:
"yes but unless you need these things on your flight i would leave them in your main luggage."
There is no way that I would recommend anyone checking a Nintendo DS in their luggage, due to the risk of theft. People have valuables lifted out of their checked luggage all the time, and if it happens to be stolen, you will have no recourse (since most, if not all, airlines will tell you to not check valuables because they can't be held liable.)
The items you're asking about can be carried on the plane. In the case of the Nintendo DS, it *should* be carried on if you're going to take it with you.
EDIT: In response to the answer immediately below mine, your statement about not being allowed to carry on batteries is completely and utterly false.

Question : electric toothbrush?
can anyone tell me how the chager for an electric toothbrush work? its plastic on plastic, where does the charge come from?
Answer:
Induction coils. There is a metal coil inside the toothbrush, and one in the charger. The charger will pass a current along the wire which creates a magnetic field. The field is stong enough for it to 'connect' to the coil inside the toothbrush. Very slowly, it charges up.

Question : Is an electric toothbrush worth it if its not sonic?
I have an Oral B electric toothbrush that cost $20; needless to say, it is not sonic. So my question is: is there much difference in a manual toothbrush/electric toothbrush/sonic toothbrush that I should just go back to a regular toothbrush or buy a sonic electric toothbrush?/
By the way, when I say 'sonic', I'm not necessarily talking about Sonicare; I'm talking about the sonic technology (the deal with how many times the brush head moves/rotates).
Answer:
absolutley not i have tested and found out all they do is fool you and they VIBRATE!! Which does not help your teeth so its basically a more expensive heavier manual brush, unless you get the really expensive ones then use a manual with duel brissles i found it worked very well

Question : How do you clean the gunk from an electric toothbrush?
I hope you guys can help me with this since Philips (Sonicare maker) couldn't even properly answer this question. Almost every week, disgusting dark green colored film collects inside the electric toothbrush head. First of all, is this normal? is anyone else having this issue? I have to take a manual toothbrush to scrub out the film. Is this a common occurrence with electric toothbrushes, am I supposed to ignore this gross film and just change the head every 3-4 months? It's getting to be a hassle to have to clean out this film every week!
Answer:
THIS FILM IS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE WITH THIS BRUSH. ONCE PER WEEK USE A PAPER TOWEL DAMPENED IN RUBBING ALCOHOL TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE CAP.
THIS MAINTENANCE MUST ALSO BE DONE FOR THE RUBBER CONNECTOR OF THE BRUSH HEAD.
REMEMBER TO REPLACE THE BRUSH HEAD EVERY THREE MONTHS.
I USE THE SONICARE ELITE MODEL.

Question : How do I use an electric toothbrush properly?
I just got an Electric Toothbrush for Christmas. I've used it a few times since but it just doesn't seem like I'm using it right. I brush for 2 minutes and brush thoroughly but when I look at my teeth afterwards it doesn't seem like it's working properly.

Question : What electric toothbrush for bridgework?
I have a bridge and a crown. I'd like to get an electric toothbrush but don't know which would be best for my teeth. The work I've had done on them was expensive and I don't want to damage this by purchasing an inappropriate electric toothbrush that might vibrate or brush too fast/hard.
What brand/model might be best for me? Thank you.
Answer:
Any of the braun oral b brushes work well. You want to be able to brush the gum/tooth junction well.
While you don't want to open beer bottles with your new teeth, you are intended to use these guys. Don't be afraid to brush well and floss around them. If you can pull them off with floss or vibrate them loose with a toothbrush, there is something seriously wrong with the bridge/crown.

Question : What is the Best electric toothbrush? I heard of two: Sonicare and Oral B?
I'm planning to get a electric toothbrush and want to know which should I get. I know of two that are popular but not sure which is best.
Of course everybody have their likes and dislikes of the two but I just want to get a survey so that I can have a better grasp of which is best suited for me.
In your opinion, which brand do you like most and why? Thanks.
Answer:
Sonicare Elite is my top choice. There are many different model designations, but the "motors" are all pretty much the same. The kits are different because they pack different accessories. Some have two brush heads and some have four. Some have a travel bag and some have a wall-mount charger instead of a counter top charger. Just read the label carefully and buy what you need. Bear in mind that you will have to replace the brush heads about every six months, so see if it is cheaper to buy a few extra brush heads in one of the kits.
Otherwise, buy a Sonicare, read and follow the directions. The directions are very clear and easy to understand.
Sonicare is especially recommended for someone with braces, by the way.

Question : What kind of electric toothbrush should I get?
I'm getting braces soon and my hygienist said to get an electric toothbrush. So what kind should I get that will help take better care of my braces?

If you want to try a Sonicare without taking out a loan, I've got good news for you. I just bought one for THIRTY DOLLARS. It uses two "AA" batteries, so you are not paying for a charger, etc. I have no idea how long the batteries last (yet), but $70 would buy a boat load of batteries. It seems to be equally effective as the rechargeable version with the new batteries.

Question : How to remove Sonicare electric toothbrush head??
I have a Sonicare electric toothbrush (model a4100). I can NOT get the replaceable toothbrush head out. Is there a certain way you are supposed to remove it?? I've just grabbed it and pulled as hard as I could (and I tried to remove my mom's too...and hers won't come out either)!! Am I doing something wrong? Is there a specific way to remove the brush?? Thanks!
Answer:
You should just be able to gently tug on the head and it will come off. If not, try rinsing it off good - you might have buildup from toothpaste between the head of the brush and the base of the brush.

Question : Why is an electric toothbrush considered essential if you want to reduce tartar and gum disease?
I have read that brushing your gums and teeth too hard can reduce enable and cause your gums to recede but have been told that an electic toothbrush is essential if you want to reduce tartar and gum disease. I would think that the electric toothbrush would be considered the same as brushing your teeth too hard. Seems to contradict. Anyone?
Answer:
No, an electric toothbrush is not essential.
What is essential for preventing tartar buildup and gum disease is to keep plaque off your teeth.
Sticky white plaque is a soft mass of germs stuck on your teeth, and it takes about 12 hours for it to turn crusty into tartar from the calcium bicarbonate in your saliva. So the trick is to brush off the plaque before it has a chance to turn crusty.
That means you should brush your teeth, tongue and gums thoroughly after each meal, and before going to sleep, using a soft-bristle toothbrush. Floss every night, eat less sugary foods, have regular checkups every 6 months to have a dentist or hygienist pick off any tartar that accumulated.
If you use a manual toothbrush properly, it should not cause gum recession.
