How to Operate a Water Pik
The Water Pik is an easy-to-use, motorized oral cleaner similar to the water spray that dentists use. Water Piks are great at removing loose debris from hard-to-reach areas of the mouth, and they are especially helpful to users with braces. Water Piks should not be used as a replacement for toothbrushes, dental floss or other types of dental hygiene. Rather, they are a supplement to these items that can help users achieve a happy and healthy mouth.
