Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with the brush
head on the tooth at the gum line. The toothbrush
tip can be used with or without toothpaste. Turn
the Water Flosser on so water flows through the
tip. Using a light pressure (bristles should not
bend) vibrate the brush back and forth with very
short strokes – much like you would with a manual
toothbrush. Repeat on adjacent teeth. Water will
flow through the brush, to help simultaneously
clean and rinse the tooth surface.
Plaque Seeker
Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to your
gumline. Close lips slightly to avoid splashing but
allow water to flow freely from mouth into sink. Start
in the molar (back teeth) area working toward the
front teeth. Place the tip close to the teeth so that
the bristles are gently touching the teeth.
Gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly
between teeth to gently brush and allow the water
to flow between the teeth. Continue until all areas
around and between the teeth both inside and
outside, top and bottom have been cleaned.

Sonic Tip
Direct the 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. Glide tip along
gumline and pause briefly between teeth for gentle
gum massage. Continue until all areas around and
between the teeth have been cleaned.
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 jet 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.
Clean the product when necessary by using a soft
cloth and mild non-abrasive cleanser.
