Using Mouthwash and Other Solutions
Your Waterpik
®
Water Flosser can be used to deliver mouthwash and
antibacterial solutions. Ask your dental professional to recommend the
appropriate solution for you. Note: use of some antibacterial solutions
could shorten the life of your Waterpik
®
Water Flosser.
After using any special solution in the reservoir, take a moment after every
use to rinse the unit. Partially fill the reservoir with warm tap water. Aim
the tip into your sink. Turn on the unit and let it run until empty. This will
help keep the tip from clogging and help your unit to last longer.
Recommended Technique
Lean low over sink and place the tip in mouth. Aim the tip toward teeth, and
turn the unit on.
Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to
your gumline.
Slightly
close lips to avoid
splashing
but allow water to flow freely from
mouth into the sink. For best results, start in
the molar area (back teeth) working toward
the front teeth. Follow the gumline and
pause briefly between teeth. Continue until
all areas around and between the teeth
have been cleaned.
