A water pick, also called an electric flosser or water flosser, is a tool that helps clean between your teeth.
It uses a thin stream of water to wash away food and plaque from areas your toothbrush cannot reach.
Some people find water flossers easier to use than string floss, especially if they have braces, bridges, implants or limited hand movement.
How does a water flosser work?
A water pick sprays water between the teeth and along the gumline. This helps to:
Loosen food particles.
Wash away plaque.
Clean gently under the gums.
Some devices allow you to add mouthwash to the water, which may help freshen your mouth. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
