Dentists Spent the Last Three Months Testing The Best Water Flossers For Families
Whether you're 8 years old or 80, let's face it... no one likes flossing. It's a big source of pain, difficulty, and wasted time. In fact, less than one in three adults floss to begin with... so, you already know it's much lower for kids.
Just one problem, though. Cavities, bad breath, and sensitive gums are on the rise. New studies even show up to half of all US children have gum disease at some level!
So it's no wonder why water flossers are exploding in popularity. But how do you find one that's effective, safe, and painless enough to protect your child's gum health?
That's what we found out.
We tested the 24 best selling at-home Water Flosser devices, including models from Phillips, Waterpik, Panasonic, and Puur Smile™. We rated the best five options based on the following criteria:
*We only recommend products we personally tested & loved.
Results
We tested the speed of the water pressure, the size of the water tank, and how long it took to eliminate stubborn plaque once and for all. A few of the devices ended up working extremely well, delivering rapid plaque removal leaving a silky smooth feeling on the teeth.
Cost
If you were to go the in-office route, it would end up costing up to $200 dollars per session to eliminate plaque & tartar.
We were able to get great results with devices that ended up costing less than $200 with the best results from a handset costing just around $89*.
Safe for At-Home Use
New York-based periodontist Josh Beischel, MD, considers at-home Water Flossers to be a solution to prevent Infectious Gum Disease!
"Gum disease is caused by plaque buildup due to lack of flossing & nearly half of adults end up getting it" Dr. Beischel explains. " Treatment ends up costing thousands & gum disease can simply be prevented in the first place with daily use of a water flosser in your routine..."
We looked for the best Water Flossing options on the market that removes Plaque from home!
Now that we’ve covered the basics and my meticulous approach, let’s get to the heart of the matter.
Here’s the epic showdown of the top 5 water flossers that promise to deliver bright, confident smile!
