LONDON, UK: People who clean between their teeth with a water flosser now have a device that allows them to do so wherever they want. Launched by Waterpik this morning at the BDIA Dental Showcase, the new Cordless Freedom Water Flosser has no power cord and comes with a waterproof case.
Operated by three AA batteries, the new device is extremely lightweight and portable, according to the company, and thus can be used for travel and by people who do not have shaver sockets in their bathroom. Furthermore, it offers in-handle controls and two built-in pressure systems.
Since flossing with the Water Flosser has been shown to be more effective than interdental brushes at reducing gingival bleeding, the Cordless Freedom Water Flosser is suitable for patients undergoing orthodontic, periodontic or implant treatment, the company said. “Unlike string floss, the Waterpik Water Flosser has been clinically shown to remove plaque and reduce bleeding gums,” remarked Waterpik Director of Professional and Clinical Affairs Deborah M. Lyle on the results of several recent studies. “Water Flosser has also been shown to be up to three times as effective for removing plaque around braces and twice as effective for improving gum health around implants, compared to string floss.”
Waterpik is currently offering a special discount on the Cordless Freedom Water Flosser during the Dental Showcase. Visitors can obtain more information and collect their coupon at Booth O10.
