The Waterpik® Water Flosser: Clinically Proven Results
One of the first studies published in the late 1960s demonstrated that the Waterpik® Water Flosser significantly reduced gingivitis and calculus. Today, more than 50 studies have been conducted at 26 universities and independent research facilities. Collectively they demonstrate that the Waterpik® Water Flosser is safe, effective and provides superior oral health results.
Recent studies have addressed the changing dynamic of dentistry and evaluated the effect on plaque biofilm and the response to inflammation in individuals with diabetes. We have also answered the age-old question “Can the Waterpik® Water Flosser help my patients who don’t floss?” with a resounding yes!®
