How to Floss Using a Waterpik Water Flosser

Flossing is important to your daily oral health routine, but string flossing can be awkward, messy, and hard to do right.

WATERPIK is the #1 selling water flosser brand in the world, clinically proven to clean deep between teeth and under the gumline where traditional brushing and string flossing can’t reach.
