Everyone and their mother (and brother . . . and cousin . . . and dentist) is talking about water flossers right now. They have replaced electric toothbrushes as the “panacea” for a bright, white, cavity-free grin, leading most of Us to toss our old roll of floss in the trash. If you’re a skeptic of water flossers, just wait until you try one.
Water flossing is both disgusting and satisfying. Pieces of your chicken salad come flying out into the sink bowl, even after you brushed your teeth and thought you would have “gotten it all”. The water pressure works like a toothbrush or piece of floss can’t, leveraging both power and surface area coverage to blast bits of food out of your deepest tooth crevices.

But the only way to reap the benefits is to use a good high-quality water flosser. Not all are created equal, however; many of the under $20 ones are a waste of money, but we’d argue that the expensive ones are, too! That’s because this bestselling Advanced Dental Water Flosser 2.0 exists — and it’s less than half the price of a WaterPik.
This dental flosser gently cleans between teeth and gums, helping to remove bits of food, get rid of plaque and reduce the risk of cavities. It has three modes, one for each type of flosser. The “soft” mode is for people with sensitive gums or those who are new to flossing; the “normal” mode was designed for daily or weekly flossers. This water flosser also has a “strong” mode that deep cleans the teeth and gums, ideal for people who currently floss daily. It can reach up to 1,800 pulses a minute!
There are many features that set this tool above the competition, one being a UV light for sanitation. In just 90 seconds, this water flosser sanitizes the water tank and the tip, helping to prevent the buildup of odor-causing agents and bacteria. It also has a battery that lasts for up to 30 days, so you can bring it with you on your two-week cruise to the Caribbean!
To use, simply add water to the water tank, insert the tip and hover it along the gumline. You can then choose a mode and go to town! Move the flosser along the gumline and between the teeth for best results, trying your best to avoid touching the gums or teeth with the tip. Once you’re finished, simply drain the surplus water, turn on UV mode and let it clean itself. It’s that simple!
“I love my electric toothbrush, BUT, I LOVE THIS MORE,” one reviewer writes. “My mouth feels very clean, it does remove food from between my teeth better than just flossing, and my teeth are whiter. I highly recommend it. I love it.”
Another says that the “hype is real”, explaining that their dentist “was shocked” by how clean their teeth were. We concur!
