CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK
TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket™ Tip
The Pik Pocket
Tip is
™
specifically designed to deliver
water or anti-bacterial solutions
deep into periodontal pockets.
To use the Pik Pocket
™
Tip, set the unit to
the lowest pressure
setting. Place the soft tip
against a tooth at a 45-degree angle and gently place
the tip under the gumline, into the pocket. Turn the
unit on and continue tracing along the gumline.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
To use the tongue cleaner tip,
set to lowest pressure setting,
place tip in the center/middle
of your tongue about half
way back and start the Water
Flosser. Pull forward with light
pressure. Increase pressure as
you prefer.
Orthodontic Tip
To use the Orthodontic
Tip, gently glide tip along
gumline, pausing briefly to
lightly brush area between
teeth and all around orthodontic bracket, before
proceeding to the next tooth.
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) massage the brush back and
forth with very short strokes – much like you
would with a manual toothbrush.
Plaque Seeker
Tip
®
To use the Plaque
Seeker
Tip, 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.
Using Mouthwash and
Other Solutions
Your Waterpik
Water Flosser can be used to
®
deliver mouthwash and antibacterial solutions.
