Question: I feel bad that I told my dental hygienist that I floss every day, but I hate flossing and only do it 2 or 3 times a week. Is there anything more high-tech than using a string to clean in between my teeth?
Answer: Yes, and you have probably heard about it. It is called a Waterpik® or water flosser. A recent poll conducted on the behalf of the American Academy of Periodontology found that 25% of patients surveyed greatly exaggerated to their dentist on how often they flossed. : My dental hygienists routinely recommends a water flosser because we believe it works almost as well as floss, and is more likely to be used by our patients.
