Does the job - though understand…

Make sure you have real expectations when using the Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 Oral Irrigator. For some reason I thought it would be like a 'Dentist Clean' but it wasn't quite that. Give yourself a week or so of getting used to using it because the first few times I used it, there was quite a bit of water splashing about. You do however develop a technique to get most of the water in the bathroom sink.
Here are my thoughts on using the Power Flosser:
Pros:
- I have a permanent retainer so it's great for getting rid of the gunk that can get stuck and a tooth brush can't get to
- Feel good on the gums and it great at cleaning along the gumline
- No environmental waste compared to traditional floss
Cons:
- The unit is quite bulky, you need a decent amount of bench space to accommodate it, also a closely located power point
- I still feel like mechanical flossing still produces a more thorough result compared to the Power Flosser
- I run out of water quite quickly resulting in me refilling the reservoir once or twice every time I use it
All in all, it does the job, definitely better than not flossing at all and I do like the fact I'm not producing waste. The drawback of not feeling as clean compared to normal flossing means I still do both - Power Flosser for my retainer and around my gums and then normal flosser for in between the teeth.
