The Most Advanced Water Flossing System
Here at Dentistry of Old Town Scottsdale, we remind all of our patients that great hygiene starts with brushing and flossing daily. Unfortunately, many of our patients forget to floss. Brushing is very helpful, but it’s not the end-all be-all of dental hygiene; you should also floss daily. For some of our patients, flossing is awkward, messy, and difficult to do the correct way. For those patients who have a difficult time flossing, Dr. Brittain recommends using a Waterpik.
Who Can Benefit Most From Using a Waterpi
While a Waterpik is a great addition to anyone's oral hygiene routine, certain patients tend to see the most significant benefits from making the switch.
You may find a Waterpik especially valuable if you:
- Wear braces or orthodontic appliances
- Have implants, bridges, or crowns
- Have gum disease or deep pockets
- Have dexterity issues
- Skip flossing regularly
Why Does Dr. Brittain Recommend Waterpik
Waterpik is a water flossing system that makes flossing fast, easy, and effective. It does all of the work, allowing you to have healthier gums and brighter teeth in only about a minute a day. It’s the number one recommended water flossing system within the dental industry. It’s known for its performance and quality. Many of our patients have come to love and appreciate its effectiveness.
