ASSESSMENT AS OF: JANUARY 2024
HOW TO GET STARTED
- Check with your dentist if you are switching flossing techniques or tools
- Get high-quality natural floss made of materials such as silk to augment your Waterpik cleaning routine
- Find a good place near your sink to plug in your Waterpik - you will need access to power for your Waterpik
- Incorporate into your normal dental hygiene routine≈
- Use this Waterpik in the shower if you like as it is cordless and water-resistant
EMBRACE
- Uses water to clean teeth versus disposable plastic floss heads or nylon floss
- Augments an existing sustainable flossing routine such as one that uses silk floss versus synthetic floss
- Uses mostly sustainable packaging
- Cordless and water-resistant features make this Waterpik usable in the shower
AVOID PRODUCT TYPE
Disposal Head Plastic Flossers
AVOID
- Many flosses are nylon which generates microplastics
- Some flosses are coated in PFAS or forever chemicals
- The floss and packaging will end up in landfills or our waterways and emit microplastics at end-of-life
Noteworthy Product Attributes
Waterpiks and similar water-based irrigation flossers do NOT replace flossing. Before making any changes to your oral hygiene routine, please consult your dentist.
