Throw Away the Floss

WaterPik Complete Care 5.0 system and the WaterPik cordless flosser.

We never thought we’d say this, but we can’t wait to go back to the dentist for our next cleaning because we’re sure to get an A+ in the flossing department. The reason?  We’ve been using the new WaterPik Complete Care 5.0 system that has a water flosser and a sonic toothbrush and in just a few days we can see and feel the improvement to our gums.  It’s like being your own dental hygienist. We were amazed how much our normal brushing and string flossing wasn’t doing once we started using this dynamic duo.  And it’s perfect for anyone with braces, implants, crowns, bridges and veneers, which would cover just about every tomato. There’s also a new cordless flosser version too.  Great if you have limited counter space, or for traveling and if like to multitask you can even use it in the shower!

The WaterPik Complete Care 5.0 System is available from Target and Best Buy for $99.99.  The WaterPik Cordless Flosser is available from Amazon for $41.60 .
