water pick

Oral jet cleaner

A water pick is a handheld device that shoots a pulsing stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline—an alternative or supplement to dental floss.

The brand name Waterpik has become nearly generic for all such devices: My dentist recommended I use a water pick after meals.
