More Effective and Comfortable Than Floss Finally, there is an easier, more effective alternative to string floss: the Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser WP 100. The WP 100 is ideal for those who don't like to floss, as well as for anyone with braces, implants, crowns, bridges or periodontal pockets. Water flossing for about a minute a day comfortably removes up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas and gently massages the gums to improve overall oral health. The WP 100 is clinically proven to be up to twice as effective as string floss at improving gum health, and three times as effective as string floss for cleaning plaque and debris around braces.
Six Unique Tips Personalize Your Cleaning Offering six unique, color-coded tips, the WP 100 thoroughly cleans your whole mouth. Choose from the Plaque Seeker Tip, Classic Jet Tip, Tongue Cleaner, Orthodontic Tip, Pik Pocket Tip, and Toothbrush Tip.
The Plaque Seeker Tip removes plaque in hard-to-reach areas around implants, crowns, bridges and other dental work. For healthier gums, the Classic Jet Tip does the job, while the Tongue Cleaner removes bacteria from your tongue to help freshen breath.
Those who wear braces will appreciate the Orthodontic Tip--it's three times as effective as floss when it comes to removing plaque around braces. The Pik Pocket Tip gently delivers medicaments and rinses deep below the gumline. And last but not least, the Toothbrush Tip delivers the convenience of brushing and water flossing at the same time.
10 Water Pressure Settings for Healthier Gums Whether you prefer gentle water pressure or deep cleansing, the WP 100's 10 adjustable water-pressure settings give you optimal control. Select a personalized setting between 10 to 90 PSI with 1,200 pulses per minute to keep your gums healthy. The WP 100 cleans deep between teeth and below the gumline, while massaging and stimulating the gums. Clinical studies show that when used regularly, the WP 100 gives you healthier gums in 14 days.
Improved Design is Quieter and Ergonomic The WP 100's improved design features a high-volume, covered reservoir with an in-lid tip storage compartment. It is also smaller and quieter than previous models. And its ergonomic handle design is comfortable to hold and offers a convenient pause button.
The Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser WP 100 is backed by a three-year warranty.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've always prided myself on my good teeth. I thought that flossing and brushing was enough...that was until I went to the dentist, and he said I had the beginnings of periodontal disease. That scared the hell out of me.
I went home and started using the Sonicare I had bought but never plugged in. That was good, but not enough - I bought a Waterpik because obviously flossing wasn't cutting it.
I had never used a Waterpik before, and it was some revelation! I'm still amazed that there are some Waterpik oldtimers who say this machine isn't strong enough...uh, for what? Peeling paint off a brick wall? This thing absolutely knocked my socks off when it came to the PRESSURE.
I started out at 2 and worked my way up to 7 - it still stings like mad, but I'm getting used to it by now. I put Listerine in the tank to increase the anti-bacteria result.
My dentist went on vacation, and I had to cancel another appointment, so it happened that almost two months had elapsed since the last time I had seen him. In that time, I faithfully brushed with the Sonicare four times a day and used the Waterpik at least once (several tankfuls of water and Listerine worth.)
Regarding the leaking people talk about - the only time the tank leaks, I notice, is if I put my fingers on the seal when I'm refilling it. If I'm careful to keep my fingers away from that seal, the tank is water tight.
So when I returned for my check-up, the dentist was AMAZED. He wasn't sure what I had done, but he said my gums looked pink and healthy! He had said initially I'd have to get my teeth cleaned every three months because I must be one of those people who gets a tartar build up quicker than other people...well, I had worked religiously on scaling back the plaque. (I had also bought a dental mirror so I could check the back of my front teeth for telltale plaque residue.)
Hmmm, no comment about that plaque...was it because there WASN'T any? My dentist asked me if I had been eating because there was so little build up (I had to tear that out of him because I KNEW he didn't want to give me credit for working that hard on my dental hygiene!)
The dentist HADN'T recommended a Waterpik, but I knew I had to go to the extreme to beat back the periodontal enemy. My teeth are so clean, they squeak!
