Product Information

Multiple specialized nozzles are an important consideration, especially for patients with braces," says Dr. Jabbour. "Different nozzles also allow multiple family members to share the same water flosser, which keeps costs down." Alerts and Timers You’ll also want to take into consideration whether or not you’ll want to travel with your water flosser or even take it into the shower with you. For these scenarios, we found that a cordless portable option — one that is also waterproof — to be a great option. Despite recommendations from the American Dental Association to floss daily, research has found that only about 30% of American adults actually engage in the practice . But trendy interdental cleaners like water flossers can help clean those hard-to-reach places between the teeth and by the gumline, even for people who shun traditional flossing methods. Water flossers come in a variety of sizes and price ranges, but their main differences are pretty straightforward: reservoir size, power source, and accessories. Interchangeable tips help you with various oral-hygiene-related tasks as well as letting you share the irrigator with family members.

However, beyond the oscillating nozzle, there isn't anything special about this flosser, which is why it's not higher up on our list. We found the power button was slow to respond, but it does change color to signify the mode you're using; meanwhile, the reservoir is also a bit small. With this flosser, you’ll also notice a 30- and 60-second pulse timer, which acts as a reminder to move to another section of the mouth. We only found this on two others we tested — which happen to be Waterpik products — and it’s definitely nice to have. We appreciated it in our tests of the best electric toothbrush, and found it a similarly useful reminder on the flosser. Despite being a much more portable option than most, the 200ml water tank offers plenty of space for a comfortable clean without feeling rushed. Looks aside, there are plenty of features to applaud here, including five distinct flossing modes which range in power and intensity, depending on how sensitive your gums are. These include a conventional dental floss mode, in addition to gum massaging programmes, while its 200ml water tank can also hold mouthwash to sterilise and freshen up your breath in the process.Most water flossers offer multiple pressure settings and modes. We found that most countertop flossers offer 10 different settings, while the portable options have just a handful. The average user will only need a few settings; however, there are few situations where you’ll want to ensure you are using a specific pressure option. On the base, there’s an easy-to-use dial that offers 10 different pressure settings. You can set your pressure prior to flossing, while also turning it up or down during the process. In addition to the standard flossing mode, there’s also a “massage” mode where you’ll find a pulsing stream of water. With the regular flossing setting, there’s also a 30-second pulsar reminding you to move from one half of your mouth to the other ensuring you spend enough time flossing each section.

The cord connecting the flosser to the reservoir is noticeably short; it made using the handle a little more difficult. No, waterpiks and water flossers cannot damage the teeth or the gums, per Dr. Bishop, since water alone can't damage the structure of your tooth. They can cause mild irritation at first, but that's often normal. The Ion Professional has a few areas where it really shines. The device is smaller than any other water flosser we tested with a 20-ounce tank, and it won’t hog a significant amount of counter space. You can flip between 10 pressure settings—more than double the number most water flossers offer—ranging from 10 to 100 pounds per square inch (PSI), and a timer with a 30-second pacer pauses to signal when it’s time to move on to a different quadrant. But if you’re looking for a two-in-one contraption, the flosser offers two different toothbrush heads (one compact, one full-size), a 30-second pulsar, a 400mL water tank and a three-year warranty.
