water picks

Dental jet devices

Water picks are handheld dental devices that shoot a pulsing stream of water to clean between teeth and along the gumline—an alternative or supplement to flossing.

The brand name Waterpik has become nearly generic for the category.

My dentist recommended a water pick for my braces.
