Recommended Technique

For best results, start with back teeth and work toward the front teeth. Direct the stream at a 90-degree angle to your gumline with a tip in your mouth. Glide tip along gumline and pause briefly between teeth. Continue until you have cleaned the inside and outside of both the upper and lower teeth.

When FinishedTurn the unit of. Empty any liquid left in the reservoir.NOTE: If you used mouthwash or other solution besides water, see the “Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions” section. NOTE: NOT ALL TIPS ARE INCLUDED WITH ALL MODELS.TIP USAGEPik Pocket™ Tip

The Pik Pocket™ tip is specifically designed to deliver water or anti-bacterial solutions deep into periodontal pockets. To use the  Pik Pocket™ tip, set the unit to the lowest pressure setting. Place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place the tip under the gum line, into the pocket.

Orthodontic Tip

To use the orthodontic tip, gently glide tip along the gumline, pausing briefly to lightly brush the area between teeth and all around the orthodontic bracket, before proceeding to the next tooth.

Tongue Cleaner Tip

Set to lowest pressure setting, place tip in the center/middle of your tongue about halfway back. Pull forward with light pressure. Increase pressure as you prefer.

Plaque Seeker™ Tip

To use the Plaque Seeker™ tip, place the tip close to the teeth so that the bristles are gently touching the teeth. Gently glide tip along the gumline, pausing briefly between teeth to gently brush and allow the water to fow between the teeth.

Toothbrush Tip

Place the toothbrush tip in the mouth with the brush head on the tooth at the gumline. The toothbrush tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Using light pressure (bristles should not bend) massage the brush back and forth with very short strokes –  much like you would with a manual toothbrush.

CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK® WATER FLOSSER
