Waterpik Water Flosser For Kids

I used a waterpik for years as a kid and I remember thinking it was great then. I had braces and nothing cleared junk out of my teeth/braces better than my waterpik. At some point as I grew older it fell by the wayside and I forgot all about them until our dentist recommended it over flossing. He states that flossing can drag the crud and bacteria deeper into the gums if not done properly (with a new section of floss for each tooth and not going back down after going up). He also states that his patients who use a waterpik have consistently healthier teeth, gums and mouth in general than his hard-core flossers. We bought the adult waterpik for ourselves Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser and this one for our almost 8 year old girl. We all love them! Our daughter is much better about doing her teeth now that she has her waterpik because it's "fun". Plus her teeth/gums end up way cleaner than when she was trying to do floss and brush before. In hindsight, I would buy this unit for myself as well over the adult unit. The reason being is that it is smaller and doesn't take up as much room on the counter. In addition, it doesn't have a lid with a compartment in it for a bunch of useless attachments (as the adult one does). The problem with that lid is it can be a hassle to get on and off because it can pop open. Also, I like the color better. It comes with stickers which, obviously, you don't have to use, so it doesn't look like a kids unit otherwise. The one issue we've had with our daughter is that she has a hard time pressing the water chamber down tight enough on the unit for it to seal. We solved this by keeping a little plastic cup in the bathroom and so she just fills the cup with water then pours it into the water chamber as needed (and this is fun also apparently...) Summary: Great unit, better for your teeth than flossing, fun for kids to use so increases compliance, and smaller footprint than the blue adult one.

Well I am an adult with sensitive gums. Before I purchased this Kids Waterpik, I tried 3 other Waterflossers and ALL were too strong for me. Then I tried this one....BINGO! Perfect and so gentle for my gums and teeth. **** Update on August 17, 2016...I have used this Kids Waterpik since January 2016. After two recent cleanings, both my hygienist and Dentist were totally amazed at how healthy my gums and teeth are. I had pockets of 1's, 2's and just a couple of 3's on my rear molars (I used to have 3's and mostly 4's). This was my best checkup ever in my life! I add just a touch of good quality mouthwash and pure spring water to this and water floss twice daily or more if I eat say popcorn, I also brush 3 times daily. My mouth feels so clean and my teeth are whiter now. My gums are a very healthy pink now! PROS: 1 Levels of jet...it ranges from very soft gentle to medium soft. I tried each and worked up to the highest level which super cleans my gums and teeth WITHOUT IRRITATIIN OR DISCOMFORT. 2 Water capacity...One full tank if this cleaned my gums and teeth in just one try. I did nit need to refill. 3 Extra abilities...I place 1 to 2 caps of Listerine. And many timrs ACT Rinse to remove plaque. 4 Turning on and off...Because this is very close to my sink it is easy to turn off on. 5 Takes up just a tiny space...I placed mine right next to my sink and it fits well. 6 Suggestion...A large Ziplock bag covers the whole waterflosser and the pik tip. I have attempted to show a picture. Also, I found when I waterfloss to hold my head downward and mouth mostly closed while waterflossing and then there is no mess (water does not go all over bathroom).

I highly recommend this flosser for children and anyone who wants to ensure that their kids are getting the proper and routine care for their teeth. My kids often struggled with dental floss and it was a nightly battle. Cue this Waterpik flosser-- the style is fun and it is easy to use. The kids immediately bought into the process with the fun addition of adding stickers and making it their "own". The flosser has 3 spray settings - all very effective- and most importantly the spray intensity is controlled so it will not cause gum damage, as some of the other higher volume sprayers can. I actually use this for myself (as an adult) as well. I spent time researching flossers prior to this purchase, and this was highly recommended by multiple review forums and individuals. After using it for a few months, I too, would recommend this as a great flossing tool not just for kids, but adults alike.

I got the Waterpik Water Flosser for Kids (WP-260) for my 8-year-old, and it’s been a great addition to his oral hygiene routine. The fun green color makes it kid-friendly, and the simple controls mean he can use it on his own without any issues. It works really well and makes flossing much easier than traditional string floss. One helpful tip—make sure the tip is in the mouth before turning it on or off, or you’ll end up with water everywhere (learned that the hard way!). Also, be sure to start with the pressure on low when turning it on and then adjust higher as needed for comfort and effectiveness. Overall, it’s a great product that makes flossing fun and easy for kids. Would’ve given 5 stars if it had a bit more water pressure control, but it still does the job perfectly!

is it possible to make it clear that what type of power plug the item comes with so that one can make a decision when buying the product. This item has a two pin plug and is not suitable in Australia. Annoying!

Non-battery operated with EU/US adaptor not compatible with UAE electricity. Returned.

出水很轻柔适合小孩子 It is very gentle for children, my daughter like use it to clean teeth

My daughter is a little picky when it comes to brushing teeth & flossing. She recently had to get a temporary retainer put in, and the dentist recommended we get a waterpik to help clean the retainer better than what the little brushes can do. For the first 3 months, we didn't get the waterpik, but our daughter was always complaining about having things stuck in it. After we got the waterpik flosser, she was excited to use it! She thought it was super cool, and now she uses it multiple times a day without us even asking her to. It also works for adults, and it comes with another head for 2 people to share it if you are concerned about hygiene. It has a pressure knob so you can go from low to high pressure - my daughter uses low, I use high. Very happy with this purchase, and while it's not 100% a replacement for flossing, it is an easy/convenient way to help your mouth stay cleaner, and it makes your mouth "feel" cleaner after every meal and snack. I don't floss after every meal, but this waterpik is so easy to grab after every meal that I find myself using it more than I floss.

Me gustó que está pequeñito y tiene la misma potencia que uno portátil! Yo lo uso para mi y me funciona súper bien, además soy de manos pequeñas y por eso se me hace más fácil de manipular. No tiene tapa el reservorio pero no es necesaria porque no le cabe mucha agua y te la acabas pronto, además el reservorio tapa el aparatito para cuando ya no lo estás usando y no le llene de polvo.
