At this year's British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy's Oral Health Conference & Exhibition held in Bournemouth in November, Water Pik was proud to sponsor the poster section showcasing the researcher. Included in the presentation were two studies on the Waterpik Water Flosser.

Delegates learnt that the Water Flosser removes significantly more plaque from teeth, even in hard to reach areas, compared to the Sonicare Air Floss. A single use study showed the Water Flosser produced a 30% better reduction in plaque removal compared to Air Floss. When the devices were used by the subjects for four weeks, the difference in plaque reduction rose to 70%. Likewise, the differences for approximal area were 19% after a single use and 60% after four weeks in favour of the Water Flosser. The four week study also showed the Water Flosser was 80% more effective at reducing gingivitis than the Air Floss.

There are over 50 clinical trials specifically on the Waterpik Water Flosser that demonstrate it is safe and effective and can significantly improve oral health by removing plaque and reducing inflammation in patients with gingivitis, mild to moderate periodontitis, diabetes, implants, orthodontic appliances, crown and bridge, and even those with fairly good oral hygiene.
