 Hello everybody, Andrew Mayesky here with Dental L. So I've been talking about the water pick with a lot of my patients lately. So I thought it would make sense to do a video about that in case anybody else has questions. So you're probably used to your dental hygienists telling you, make sure to brush twice a day and make sure to use the floss every day. Well, I read a lot of articles on pubmed.com. So it's kind of like a medical article website, you know? And one of the recent articles was actually that the water pick seems to be more effective. And this is probably because a lot of patients who I do ask them, I go, so how many times a day do you floss? Is it every day or is it more sporadic? And they kind of laugh at me and say sporadic, it's not every day. So then I say to them, well, is it at least weekly? They go, no. Or some of them might say, yes, it's about once a week and then once a month and then never. So I get it, it's a tricky habit to get into. But what if I told you there's something out there that as per the articles that I've been looking into is proven to be more effective? So if I told you, well, if you're not going to floss, you actually don't have to, I'm going to recommend something else for you. And that is the water pick, you guys. It is amazing because what it does is it actually sprays like a steady stream of water. And if you aim this little tip, so I just took this image off of the internet. So if you just aim this little tip in between those teeth, that will help to get everything that is stuck out of there. It is amazing. In fact, I wonder if I can find a quick video for you guys. Let me just pause this for a moment. Let me stop sharing and let me pause this video just to see if I can find one super fast. It's amazing. Okay, everybody, so I think I found a video. I haven't actually watched it, so hopefully it makes sense. But let me turn this up and then I'm going to push play. It's just about two minutes. So hang with me here. Okay, the sound might still be off, but that's okay. I can actually talk at the same time. So this is perfect. So this is what the water pick is and it can be more effective if you use it every day. And look how nice that is. Like I would be okay to have it on my counter, right? So the water goes in here and actually it's just kind of showing you guys how to charge it up now. And I'll leave a link for you guys. It's actually cheaper on Amazon from what I have found. I will leave the link for you guys on the bottom and then you can check it out. It does come in different tips. This is the one that all of them come with and then you can purchase separate ones. But look at that, you guys. And around ortho, how much easier would that be, right? And having to play with everything else, this just makes it easy. You just have to aim it inside the mouth and this water just helps you get right through that. And you could even technically put like listerine in there too if you wanted to. So it's just kind of showing you guys how to take the tip off. So it's really, really easy. And as I said, I'll leave the link for you guys on Amazon. If you guys pick the low power setting, I find that's too low. Medium or high seems pretty good. It just kind of depends on what you're more comfortable with. But see how she's leaning over the sink. So then that way the water goes in the sink. But it works, you guys. You can actually look in the mirror. It tells you not to. But once you've had practice, you can. But you will be amazed how much stuff comes out. Like as silly as that sounds. And this is just kind of showing you guys how to do it. It doesn't take long. It's so much easier to do, right? And I do know a lot of people even use this in the shower. So that's pretty cool. And then you can travel with it too. They have much larger ones, but this is a portable one. I prefer the portable one for myself just because it just looks nicer on the counter. It doesn't take up too much space. You guys get the idea, right? So let me stop sharing my screen. But yes, I love the water pick. And I tell pretty much all of my patients to use the water pick because I don't know a lot of patients that say I floss every day twice a day. I don't need help with the floss. I do a great job. But I can also say people that have used the water pick love it. They love it. They say it's the most amazing thing. I don't know why more dental professionals don't talk about it. It's amazing. So I will leave the link for you guys on the bottom of the video. If you would like to check it out from Amazon, I have found that to be the cheapest so far. So hope you guys liked the video. Make sure to click like so I know that you're watching. And thank you guys.
