It’s official…. I now have two kids in the house with braces!
Now that I have two with braces in the house, oral hygiene has become more important than ever. I had braces as a child and I know how hard it is to get your teeth as clean as they should be. Upon leaving the orthodontics we got a huge lecture on oral care. Before we were ready to leave they gave them a little care kit with toothbrushes, flossers and a timer. They also highly recommended a Waterpik to keep in-between the kids’ teeth cleaner. Not only does the Water Pik help keep the kids teeth clean but they have had so much fun using it. The Water Pik not only helps get between the braces and wires but it also gets in the nooks and crannies of the actual bracket to help cut down on bacteria.
I feel a Water Pik is a must have, especially with braces. I am making a huge financial investment in my children’s teeth and I want to take every effort I can to make sure their teeth stay as healthy as they can be during this whole process.
Using a Water Pik does not replace to need to do everyday flossing but it will cut down on the effort that it takes flossing with braces and makes it more effective. Water Pik also helps get all those hard to reach areas in the back of your teeth as well as behind the back of the back brackets.
I like that they have kept the design of the children’s Water Pik very simple so that even my 5 year old is able to easily use it. When you are finished for the day you can turn the water reservoir into a lid, now all your tools can stay together in one clean and safe space.
I also have a Water Pik and even for adults, it makes brushing and flossing more fun and effective. The quality of my teeth have tremendously improved as well. When I went in last week, my dentist even noticed that my teeth and gums look healthier. I love the design of this system. Everything is right where you need is and it comes with so many customizable pieces, that every person will be able to use this comfortably.
