"Although these aren't real strong and I sometimes need to use 2 of them for all my teeth, they are wonderful and do just as good a job as dental floss."
"These are so much easier to use than dental floss."
"They move into tight spaces between the teeth, massaging the gums as well as removing plaque."
"My Dad was a dentist and he always used G.U.M products with his patients, It is a name you can trust...I know he did."
"I have hated using floss since time immemorial so, of course, I don't."
"We have used this product for several years and find them to be more convenient and superior to anything else available."
"Sometimes these bend on me, but it could be because my gums are in bad shape and my teeth are close together."

"Family loves these brush picks!"
"These are even better than flossing!"
"I had read that they hurt and can cause bleeding gums and now I see why."
"My dentist asked me what I do to keep my teeth so nice and my gums so strong."
"(Been using brush picks for about 10 years, and have used every brand I have seen.)."
"The feathery end is just stiff enough to clear out caught food like chicken (I have one gap next to a molar that seems to be very good at trapping things), and the heavy end is great for popcorn."
"The "brush" at the end of the tiny, very flimsy, tip only protrude in two directions - therefore not a true brush."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The total number of tips adds up to seven because Waterpik provides three identical Classic Jet Tips (see below for descriptions of each). "CLASSIC JET TIP" (you get 3). To identify it: it is the only tip style that you get three of. Rather than include links to the replacement tips in this review, I recommend that you just do a search for "Waterpik JT-100E". If you search by the tip's name, you will probably get results that include tips that are not compatible with your Aquarius. (Note For Ultra Buyers: the Ultra uses the same model tips as the Aquarius, provided here.). This tip allows you to brush your teeth and Waterpik at the same time. As efficient as that sounds, there must be a reason why they included 3 Classic Jet Tips and only 1 Toothbrush Tip. Search for "Waterpik TB-100E" to find compatible replacement tips. "PLAQUE SEEKER TIP" (quantity: 1) (my daily use tip). To identify it: look for fewer bristles than are on the Toothbrush Tip. ), you can just use this tip as your daily tip all around your mouth. "PIK POCKET TIP" (quantity: 1). To identify it: it looks like the Classic Jet Tip but with an extra pointy attachment at the end. OTHER WATERPIK TIPS YOU CAN BUY ON AMAZON COMPATIBLE WITH THE WATERPIK AQUARIUS: these don't come with your Aquarius but they are compatible with it, and you may find them useful: --Orthodontic tip OD-100E. --Tongue Cleaner TC-100E. Finally, Waterpik also offers a storage case that comes with six compatible tips. THE WATERPIK AQUARIUS VERUS THE WATERPIK ULTRA: A SHOWDOWN. Some reviewers have argued that the older Waterpik WP100W Ultra Dental Water Flosser is a better device. Here are the differences according to Amazon and Waterpik (you can do comparisons between any current models on Waterpik's website, just type in Waterpik dot com then choose Oral Hygiene): This Model, the Waterpik Aquarius WP-660 is called the "Aquarius Professional" on Waterpik's site. Differences Between this Aquarius and the Ultra. --while on Amazon, prices vary, Waterpik thinks the Aquarius is the nicer machine because they charge $20 more for the Aquarius than for the Ultra; --the Ultra has a button on the handle that you must hold down in order to keep the water flowing, if you let go, it stops; the Aquarius has an on/off toggle switch so that once you toggle it on, it keeps flowing without finger pressure, until you toggle it off; --the Aquarius comes with three Classic Jet tips, versus two with the Ultra. --the Aquarius includes a massage mode (have to admit that I don't use this at all). --the Aquarius includes an LED Function Indicator (ehh). --the Aquarius includes a Timer/Pacer (I use this every day and know that I would stop sooner than I should if it weren't on there). --the Ultra doesn't include anything that the Aquarius does not. Features That Are Identical Between the Aquarius and the Ultra. --both come in black and white (Aquarius, this page; Waterpik Ultra White and Black available here; --same water pressure. --same flow rate. --same pulse rate. --both have 10 pressure settings. --the tips rotate 360 degrees. --water capacity both in volume and in seconds. --both have covered water reservoirs. --almost identical weight: 1.46 pounds for this Aquarius and 1.48 for the Ultra. --both have three-year warranties. --both only have plugs for North America. SOME OTHER MODELS AVAILABLE: Waterpik Complete Care is still available for $10 more and gives you a shorter warranty (2 years instead of 3), no massage mode, no LED indicators, and fewer tips. If you're really price sensitive OR if you want to use medicaments OR you really hate filling the reservoir, the Waterpik Classic Pro is $30 less expensive on the Waterpik site (on Amazon, prices vary) includes a medicament reservoir, and holds up to 35 ounces (Aquarius and Ultra hold 22 ounces) but you will not get: --the good reviews that the Aquarius and Ultra have; Classic Pro is not nearly as well-liked; --the option of a black-colored model; --the maximum water pressure of 100 PSI (it's 90 PSI instead). --four pressure settings: you get only six pressure settings instead of ten (but honestly, how many people need the subtlety of more than six settings? ); --the super-important-to-me Timer/Pacer. --water control on the handle (it works like the Ultra: you have to hold a button down); --a covered reservoir; --covered tip storage; --massage mode; --LED Function Indicator; --the ability to use any tips other than the Classic, the Pik Pocket and the Tongue Cleaner (Waterpik does not make compatible Orthodontic tips, Plaque Seeker tips, or Toothbrush tips for the Waterpik Classic Pro). --the third year of warranty, Classic only comes with a tow-year warranty."
"PROS: • Easy to Use - Fill it with warm water or water mixed with mouthwash (same amount of mouthwash you'd normally use diluted in the water), choose the intensity and your head attachment, put the wand end in your mouth, make sure the switch on the wand is turned on (I leave mine turned on), turn the power button on, start at a back molar and work your way forward, keeping your head tilted forward and lips puckered so the water pours out into the sink. • Oral Hygiene - The water pushes bacteria and food particles out, effectively doing the same job as flossing and mouthwashing. This doesn't affect me though as I leave it on and just use the power button on the machine to start and stop water flow. TIPS: • Putting a washcloth or grip pad (like what you line cabinets with or what you open the pickle jar with) under the unit to help lower the vibrations. • Once a month do a cleaning rinse: Clean the basin out with vinegar, allowing it to soak for an hour and put the wand tips in with it - this will kill odor causing germs. UPDATE: After over two years it's still performing like new, staying clean inside and out, and my teeth have never been healthier!"
