    • Are dental picks worth it?

    A water pick can help remove food particles from your teeth and might help reduce bleeding and gum disease — but it isn’t generally considered a substitute for brushing and flossing. It doesn’t generally remove visible film and plaque on your teeth, but can aid in reduction of bacteria even below the gumline.

    What do dental picks do?

    Water picks are extremely easy to use and especially useful for people with braces or permanent or temporary bridges. Water picks remove both food particles from teeth but can also reduce bleeding and gum diseases like gingivitis. Water flossing can also reduce bacteria, even below the gum line.

    Is using a Waterpik better than flossing?

    The scientific research shows that oral irrigation, such as the Waterpik, is superior to string floss in reducing plaque and gingivitis. However, most dentists continue to recommend flossing before or after using a Waterpik.

    Do dentists recommend soft picks?

    I recommend Soft-Picks Advanced to patients who refuse to floss and patients whose interdental spaces are larger due to lost periodontal support, bridges, or implants. In my office, these are a vital part of our dental hygiene recommendations for many patients.

    Does Waterpik remove plaque?

    The WaterPik is very effective, and actually even more effective than string floss, at reducing gingivitis, reducing gingival bleeding, and removing plaque. It also can clean deeper into periodontal pockets than floss can.
