Anybody use a WaterPik/water flosser?

I absolutely HATE flossing my teeth, it just mentally grating for me, but I know dental care is important. Before I spend a couple hundred on a WaterPik, I figured I'd ask for some thoughts from the crew here

Works great.

Use it with an alcohol based oral rinse instead of water.

I prefer Makers Mark but Listerine will work too, I'm sure.

It is good, and gets stuff floss cant. But it also cant replace the mechanical scrubbing floss does. You should really do both. Have you tried the smoother ribbon floss? Not to me taste, but it does reduce that sensation quite a lot. Glide is the name.

We've been using this for a few years, attaches to the shower head, so it never runs out of water. We love it!

Reason why I like my electric toothbrush..no need to floss.

You can get a lower priced water pick, I think i paid $40 for mine.

It doesn't replace flossing though.

I have one of those flossers on a handle so I don't gag myself out trying to get to my back teeth. I've never used a Water Pik.

We got water picks for Christmas one year as kids. My mom thought it was an awesome gift until my brother and I found out how fun they are for water fights!

Garden hose works fine.

Yeah, sure you use that on your teeth. You can't fool me. Bet you have it in pulse mode.

They work great to clean your teeth, but they're not for everyone. A friend of mine uses these Waterpik WP-563 and she loves it.
I checked with my dentist as I had a checkup coming up. My dentist says that they're just 'ok' and should be used in conjunction with regular brushing and flossing.

I tried a WaterPik once and hated it! Water was splashing everywhere, in my eyes, up my nose, on the mirror, sheesh what a mess.. The shower attachment looks interesting though.

What I imagined the experience would be if I had one.

Using a WaterPik or water flosser is a personal choice that can have some fantastic benefits for your oral hygiene. It's a convenient way to complement traditional flossing and remove food particles and plaque. For those considering this approach, it's essential to do your research and understand how to use it effectively.
