Most dental professionals recommend brushing and flossing to keep your teeth and gums their healthiest. Unfortunately, a large number of Americans -- nearly 80-percent -- don't floss on a regular basis, and most studies have shown that most people find flossing to be a painful or unpleasant chore. Waterpik has created an effective alternative to flossing that feels great and is simple to use. Pulsating Streams for Healthier Teeth and Gums
The Waterpik Ultra Cordless Dental Water Jet goes beyond flossing to keep your teeth and gums healthy and clean. Waterpik has designed the WP-450 to deliver precisely controlled pulsating streams of water pressure to remove debris and bacteria lodged deep between teeth and below the gumline. In fact, it has been shown that the WP-450 can clean three times deeper than brushing alone. In addition, it massages and stimulates the gums to improve circulation. The WP-450 helps promote strong and health gums, leaving you with a clean, fresh mouth sensation. According to Waterpik, there are over 50 published clinical studies that show the Waterpik Dental Water Jet provides significant oral health benefits for anyone who desires healthier teeth and gums. These studies also show that the WP-450 is especially effective for those who have braces, implants, crowns, bridges, and other dental work. For these reasons, Waterpik is one of the most recommended brands by dental professionals. Design Features and Cleaning Accessories
Oral health benefits aside, the Waterpik WP-450 is also a complete device that is loaded with lots of great features. It includes four color-coded tips: - Jet Tip: Provides cleaning deep between teeth and below the gumline.
- Orthodontic Tip: Excellent for cleaning around braces.
- Pik-Pocket Tip: Delivers extra gentle deep cleaning below the gumline.
- Tongue Cleaner: Removes bacteria that causes bad breath.
The WP-450 also features an advanced ergonomic handle that is smaller than previous models and easier to hold. Refilling the reservoir is simple and can be completed in a snap, and since this dental water jet is rechargeable, you'll never need to buy new batteries. What's in the Box
Waterpik WP-450 Ultra Cordless Dental Water Jet, reservoir, and four color-coded tips (Jet Tip; Orthodontic Tip; Pik-Pocket Tip; and Tongue Cleaner).

 Love this portable Waterpik October 10, 2008
When I first took this cordless Waterpik out of the box, I thought, "What good can this do?" Then I tried it and I love it! It travels easily, holds a charge for up to a week, and is a pretty powerful little tool. I wear braces, so this has really been a life-saver for me. I keep it at work and use it daily after lunch.
A Solution to the "battery" problem. September 20, 2008
I have had two rechargable Waterpiks. Both had the same problem. After about 5 or 10 months the unit gradually loses the ability to charge up. Most users assume that the battery became defective.
I really need this thing so I decided to look into it and found that the battery in each case was fine. What happens is that the connector on the charging cable gradually deteriorates. This might be due to getting wet repeatedly combined with corrosion and deposits. The inside of the female part of the connector gets get eaten away and actually gets larger in diameter. The electrical connection deteriorates and finally becomes unusable. As a result the battery no longer gets recharged.
I found that the "AdaptaPlug" connector system available at Radio Shack has the same pin diameter and pin spacing. By whittling some plastic away I made a better connector from the Radio Shack parts and now the Waterpiks work like new.
The part numbers of the Radio Shack connectors needed are:
Male: 273-1742
Female: 273-1743

The product arrived on time and is working great for me. I have no complaints.
 Waterpik Ultra cordless September 6, 2008
This is a little messy, but it cleans your gums really well. Takes a little practice to do it right without hosing down your bathroom, but your mouth feels really clean after. I had no trouble directing the stream, but you have to keep your mouth closed and let the liquid drain out the side into the sink. A little bit of mouthwash, with the water, and you got a super clean moth. have had it a few months and no operational problems yet.,

This is a portable water pik which sounds like a great idea, the problem is that it does not hold enough water to even begin to be effective. It is also bulky and loud. I think you would need to stop and refill this 2-3 times to be of any use and that is not really easy to do.
