My dentist swears by water flossing, here's how I do it
Discussion options
My dentist kept nagging me about flossing, but I just hate regular floss. So I got one of those waterpik things. Took a bit to get used to - water everywhere at first, lol - but now I just lean over the sink, start from the back teeth, and slowly move forward. Teeth feel pretty clean after. Curious if anyone has a better technique or tips to share?

Haha, same here... took me ages to stop spraying the mirror. I found angling the tip slightly downward helps control splashing. Teeth do feel cleaner, but I'm still paranoid about missing spots, so I occasionally follow up with interdental brushes.
