Metal Mouth Message Board

can someone help me? there are so many waterpik postings that i'm not finding the one i want. someone posted a few weeks back about having a great waterpik they bought online for some fantastic low price, like less than $10. anyone remember that? and if you are that fantastic consumer, please clue me in again--I want to get one!

Hey try http://health-beauty.search.ebay.com/Wa ... QQsaprcloZ here.

I just ordered a SPAMTRONIC SPAMSONIC SPAMONAIDE SPAMSTER SPAM SPAMINATOR oral irrigator from target - $47 (had a gift card leftover from Christmas) - I think it is pretty similar to the portable waterpik, but it takes regular batteries and is supposed to be a bit more powerful. We'll see...

You may be thinking of the WaterPik Power Flosser - It's about 7.00 USD. I love it, by the way.. It works great and is so much easier, not to mention faster, than traditional flossing.. I can actually go between molar bands now!

Hope this helped..

That's the one I got. It's fantastic!

eb and cissa:

did you order your's online through waterpik?

thanks for all of the great input! there are so many products it's really hard to pick!

No, I bought mine at Walgreens.. But I think you can get it at drugstore.com as well.

Okay, I got a Waterpik Cordless Dental Water Jet - Model No: WP-360E yesterday. I used it this morning and that thing is messy. It got water all over my bath mirror and me. Am I using it wrong or is that the nature? I tried using it like the instructions say but it seemed impossible to see what you are doing for all the water. It is not leaking or anything else. I hope that Walgreens will allow me to return it, because right now I am not very happy with the mess this thing causes.

I bought a cordless Waterpik a few weeks back. It is messy at first, but you will get used to using it and not getting water all over the bathroom! Also be sure to use WARM water in it, unless your teeth don't mind cold water.

It does a very good job of making my mouth feel really clean all over. I am definitely in favor of the thing. It does not replace flossing, in my opinion. I also floss and brush very thoroughly.

One of my favorite "tools" is a toothbrush for 2-4-year-olds, believe it or not. The tech gave it to me and said it's great for getting in small spaces. The bristles are soft and it is easy to rock the toothbrush up and down along the archwire in order to get food out of there. It works great! I recommend it highly. I also use a regular toothbrush, but the baby toothbrush just helps the little extra bit. Here is the baby brush I use: http://www.oralb.com/products/product.a ... id=24years

I just got the cordless Waterpik at Target and it was $29.99. I haven't used it yet (it's charging) but I can't wait. Used to use a waterpik when I was a kid and loved it. They are so good at getting the junk out. Can't believe I waited until almost the end of my treatment to get one but I will continue to use it even after the braces are off.

I just bought the waterpik flosser at target...it's pretty cool. though I may still invest in the dental jet. I'm going to hold off until I see my dentist for a cleaning to see what he recommends.

Everyon'e tips were great though! Thanks! adollface--let us know how the target product works...I looked at that one but didn't get it because there was only one and the box looked a bit damaged.

I vote for the Oral-Breeze. Like the one being discussed on Dental do-dads. It's simple & inexpensive!

Hi Meryaten. Long time no see!

Okay, used the cordless Waterpik this morning (since I couldn't use it last night) for the first time. Used the advice of keeping you lips closed and it was great. I used the "gentle jet tip" but it was still pretty strong. Teeth felt pretty good after I was done. My husband (who is not braced) can't wait to use it tonight! Not so sure if I'm willing to share!!! I would totally recommend it. It's just amazing what can get stuck in these braces!
