Hi Jodie and welcome.

I believe the waterpik is not available locally, but I know that KK has one, so I'm sure she'll let you know where she got it.

I made up my own kit which includes interdens brushes, superfloss, wax, a mirror, toothpaste and brush. I buy the interdens brushes, superfloss and toothbrush at the pharmacy, and get all the wax I need from my ortho. You can also buy wax at the supermarket, where all the other dental products are. I bought a pocket mirror early on in the piece and this has been a godsend when I'm out and about.

Thanks everyone.
I have sent and email to Dentakit asking for the shipping costs and aud conversions.
I have heard good things about these and they appear to be small enoughtotake to work and travel. Still a bit confused with flossing (never done it before) but thinking positive and I will get there.
