She has been recommending the Waterpik® Water Flosser to patients for over six months. “I like the Waterpik® Water Flosser,” she says. “I recommend it to many of my patients who don’t or won’t floss, or who struggle with the technique, and for patients who need considerable improvement in their plaque control. “One particular patient of mine presented with 6-7mm pockets posteriorly, continuous food traps, subgingival plaque and very inflamed gums. “Since using the Water Flosser his inflammation has been reduced and pockets reduced by 1-2mm and less plaque and food debris between his teeth.” The Waterpik® Water Flosser helps to remove bacteria deep below the gum line, where brushing and string flossing cannot reach. With four different tips that all rotate 360 degrees, all areas of the mouth can be reached for a complete clean. For more information on Waterpik® Water Flossers please speak to your wholesaler or visit www.waterpik.co.uk. Waterpik® products are widely available in Boots stores and selected Lloyds Pharmacies.
