Waterpik WP-100 Dental Water Jet Review

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

The Waterpik WP-100 Ultra Dental Water Jet is clinically proved to be more effective than floss for healthier gums. Most dental professionals urge brushing and flossing to retain your dentition and gums their healthiest. Regrettably, most 80-percent of Americans don’t floss on a normal basis, and most people find flossing to be a painful or unpleasant chore. Finally, there is an active alternative to flossing that feels great and is simple to complete.

The Waterpik Ultra functions way beyond flossing to keep your gums their healthiest. Waterpik has designed the Waterpik WP-100 to deliver a water pressing of 10 to 90 PSI with 1200 pulses per minute. This system delivers a clinically evidenced combination of water pressure level and pulsation to remove debris and bacteria lodged deep between teeth and below the gum-line — three times deeper than brushing alone. In addition, it massages and stimulates the gums to improve circulation and help promote strong and healthy gums. The Waterpik Ultra is so working that it is clinically tested to be up to 93-percent more operational than flossing at reducing gum bleeding

Here are customer reviews about Waterpik Ultra Dental Water Jet:

I’ve always prided myself on my good teeth. I intended that flossing and brushing was sufficiency…that was until I went to the dental practitioner, and he stated I had the rootage of periodontal disease. That dismayed the hell out of me.
I went home and started using the Sonicare I had bought but never plugged in. That was good, but not enough – I bought a Waterpik because obviously flossing wasn’t cutting it.
I had never used a Waterpik before, and it was some divine revelation! I’m still goggle-eyed that there are some Waterpik oldtimers who say this machine isn’t hard enough…uh, for what? Skinning paint off a brick wall? This thing perfectly bumped my socks off when it got to the pressure sensation.

I started out at 2 and worked my way up to 7 – it still stings like mad, but I’m getting used to it by now. I put Listerine in the tank to increase the anti-bacteria result.
My dentist went on vacation, and I had to cancel another appointment, so it happened that almost two months had elapsed since the last time I had seen him. In that time, I reliably brushed with the Sonicare four times a day and used the Waterpik at least once (several tankfuls of water and Listerine worth.)

Regarding the leaking people talk about – the only time the tank leaks, I notice, is if I put my fingers on the seal when I’m refilling it. If I’m careful to keep my fingers away from that seal, the tank is water tight. So when I come back for my check-up, the dentist was Openmouthed. He wasn’t sure what I had done, but he said my gums looked pink and healthy! He had said initially I’d have to get my teeth cleaned every three months because I must be one of those people who gets a tartar build up quicker than other people…well, I had worked religiously on scaling back the plaque. (I had also buy a dental mirror so I could discover the back of my front teeth for telltale plaque residual.)

Hmmm, no comment about that plaque…was it because there WASN’T any? My dental practitioner inquired me if I had been eating up because there was so compact build up (I had to pull that out of him because I KNEW he didn’t want to give me credit for making that hard on my dental hygiene!)
The dentist HADN’T recommended a Waterpik, but I knew I had to go to the extreme to beat back the periodontal enemy. My dentitions are so clear, they squeaker!
