I picked up a Waterpik a couple weeks ago because my dentist kept nagging me about flossing more. Honestly, regular flossing always felt like torture for my sensitive gums, you know? Anyway, I was skeptical at first, but this thing actually feels pretty nice—like a mini gum massage or something. Curious if anyone else finds these water flossers easier on their gums or is it just me being overly sensitive again, lol.
I get why people like water flossers, but honestly, I never found them as effective as regular floss. I've got sensitive gums too, and yeah, traditional flossing was rough at first...but after a couple of weeks, my gums toughened up and stopped bleeding altogether. Now it's second nature. Maybe it's just me, but it seems like the water flosser misses some spots that regular floss gets easily. Glad it's working for you though—everyone's mouth is different, I guess.
