GH Tested: Waterpik Sonic-Fusion Flossing Toothbrush

From Good Housekeeping

Your dentist has been telling you to floss regularly for years and we know how that’s likely going: Only 16% of Americans floss daily — eek! Waterpik’s powerful but gentle sonic toothbrush with a built-in water flosser lets you avoid the hassle and pain of using string so you actually get it done.

WHAT WE LIKE

• SCIENTIFIC PROOF The company’s own clinical study concluded that oral health could be improved in two weeks with daily use of the Sonic-Fusion. The lab conducted our own mini consumer study and our testers, women between the ages of 25 and 54 who floss regularly with conventional floss (yes, their dental hygienists love them), found using this to be more effective than both brushing and flossing manually.

• GAIN WITHOUT PAIN Testers noted that flossing with this did not cause any gum discomfort, a common complaint about manual flossing.

• SIMPLE TO OPERATE “I really like the ease of switching between brushing and flossing and that flossing was such a simple part of the process,” said one tester.
