Aquasonic Aqua Flosser - Professional Rechargeable Water Flosser with 4 Tips - Oral Irrigator w/ 3 Modes - Portable & Cordless Flosser - Kids and Braces - Dentist Recommended (Black)

Product Information

This isn't the fanciest water flosser available, so if you want something with more advanced settings, you should keep reading. Pros: This countertop water flosser has a 15-ounce tank that can be removed and washed on the top level of your dishwasher, which makes cleaning easy. The tank can also invert over the rest of the appliance to make it even more compact and keep debris out. There are three pressure settings for your kids to find the one that feels most comfortable and still effectively cleans between the teeth and along the gum line. This flosser comes with two tips that are meant for children. One is a classic tip, and one is designed to clean out orthodontia. It comes with fun decals for your kids to personalize it.

It depends on your oral care needs. If you don't have issues with your teeth and gums, wear oral appliances, or struggle to use traditional string floss, a water flosser might be a luxury addition to your oral care routine. (Not to say it couldn't be worth it, just that you might not get as much use out of it.) But if preventing and removing more than the average amount of plaque is critical to your health, we think a water flosser is a solid investment. The American Dental Association (ADA) advises that the “use of an interdental cleaner (like floss) is an essential part of taking care of your teeth and gums.” But the organization doesn’t recommend any particular method of interdental cleaning, pointing to a 2019 review of the literature on the topic by Cochrane Oral Health that found the evidence for the effectiveness of water flossers (or “oral irrigators”) was “limited and inconsistent” Water tank : The larger the water tank, the less often you have to refill it. Portable water flossers generally have small water tanks that need to be refilled between uses; stationary models can typically be refilled every few uses. When using a water flosser, you’ll want to fill the water flosser’s tank with lukewarm water — a recommendation given by most brands, especially for those with sensitive teeth or gums, and something we found more comfortable in our personal experience. To reduce a water mess in your bathroom, make sure you are leaning over the sink and put the nozzle in your mouth first, prior to turning on the water flosser. Or, if you have a portable water flosser, many are waterproof, allowing you to floss in the shower.

The Aquasonic flossing collection can help you to do just that.

For starters, the base houses both a water flosser and an electric toothbrush charger. This allows you to keep all of your oral hygiene needs in one space, with the combined design taking up less counter space. It also uses just one outlet, which could be beneficial for some. However, if you don’t need the toothbrush component, there’s also the Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000, a stand-alone water flosser with the exact same features. Based on our personal experience, we suggest you pay careful attention to the size of the unit. Countertop water flossers are significantly larger than portable ones and typically need to be plugged in (although there are a few countertop cordless options). Taking your countertop space into consideration will help you determine whether a countertop or portable flosser is right for you. Despite the ingenuity of this all-in-one concept, the act of flossing with this toothbrush/flosser was not our favorite. Since a toothbrush head is much larger than a water flosser tip, we felt as though we couldn’t keep our mouth closed enough, thus resulting in a bigger mess on our counter.

How we test the best water flossers

When it comes to separating good water flossers from great water flossers, pressure settings and reservoir size are important factors. While it only has three settings (fewer than some of the more expensive options on our list), they are effective and get the job done. The pulse mode, in particular, was one of our favorites—it did an excellent job getting gunk out from in between our teeth. Water Pressure: Water flossing can be hard on sensitive teeth and gums. A water flosser that has varying levels of water pressure can help everyone get an effective and comfortable clean. Yes, the American Dental Association have all agreed that water flossing devices such as the Aquasonic Aqua Flosser is considered a premium oral care cleaning product that they’ve deemed as safe. The ADA seal of approval confirms the system can effectively remove plaque and help to reduce the possibility of gum disease. Can a Aqua Flosser Prevent Gum Disease? The Aquasonic is my first water flosser, so my main basis for comparison is traditional flossing—or a trip to the dentist. And, so far, I’ve been pleasantly surprised across the board. It came precharged right out of the box, and the battery seems to last a good while. It’s also small and lightweight for something with a built-in battery and a water reservoir.

In addition to testing 14 models from the top brands, we also spoke with dentists and oral hygiene experts, including: The covered tank can hold 600mL of water, which during our testing lasted us around 90 seconds on the highest setting and over 4 minutes on the lowest setting, leaving you with more than enough water to complete your flossing session without having to refill the water tank. We assessed whether or not the water flosser offered multiple pressure settings, different modes and a variety of nozzles. We also utilized the various settings, modes and nozzles for each respective water flosser.You won't find any special or standout features here; this is a basic flosser that simply gets the job done. An impressively long battery life and waterproof carrying case make this a great choice for flossing on the road. Pros

Controlling the Ion is simple, with 10 different pressure settings accessible using a dial on the side of the base. There are no specialized pulse or massage modes, which we didn’t personally miss and didn’t count as an oversight. The Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 3000 also comes with the quad stream nozzle, which covers a wider surface are and is a big selling point in the Philips Sonicare lineup of water flossers. You’ll also find the same two-year warranty and pulse wave technology. Waterpik Cordless Express: This is a powerful flosser that's nearly ready to use out of the box. It has two settings, which would work fine for someone who needs a lot of intensity—our testers noted that the lowest setting is still pretty strong.

Despite its impressive range of intensity settings, some users might find even the lowest setting to be too powerful or intense, especially if they have sensitive gums or are new to water flossing. Versatility is key with this portable flosser. It’s waterproof and cordless, making it ideal for use in the shower (for the uninitiated: water-flossing is a messy business). Its powerful jet blasts are strong enough to blast away plaque and food debris, but it still promises not to harm your gums in the process. On the contrary, it actually massages and stimulates them, improving circulation and gum health, promising up to 50 per cent more effective results than using regular string floss alone. In addition to the standard nozzle, the Philips Sonicare Power Flosser 7000 comes with a comfort nozzle and quad stream nozzle — both with soft rubber tips, which gave a gentle feel along the gums and were completely different than any other nozzles we tested. The comfort nozzle is otherwise like a traditional jet tip, while the quad stream nozzle has an X-shaped opening, so the stream covers a larger surface area. In your mouth, it feels as though four jets are cleaning your teeth at once. While we can’t confidently say that this in fact cleaned our teeth any better, we could feel the increase in coverage along our teeth and gums, and we truly preferred the experience over the regular jet tip.
