WaterpikWater Flosser for Kids, Countertop Water Flosser for Children and Braces, WP-260, Green

I highly recommend this flosser for children and anyone who wants to ensure that their kids are getting the proper and routine care for their teeth. My kids often struggled with dental floss and it was a nightly battle. Cue this Waterpik flosser-- the style is fun and it is easy to use. The kids immediately bought into the process with the fun addition of adding stickers and making it their "own". The flosser has 3 spray settings - all very effective- and most importantly the spray intensity is controlled so it will not cause gum damage, as some of the other higher volume sprayers can. I actually use this for myself (as an adult) as well. I spent time researching flossers prior to this purchase, and this was highly recommended by multiple review forums and individuals. After using it for a few months, I too, would recommend this as a great flossing tool not just for kids, but adults alike.

I used a waterpik for years as a kid and I remember thinking it was great then. I had braces and nothing cleared junk out of my teeth/braces better than my waterpik. At some point as I grew older it fell by the wayside and I forgot all about them until our dentist recommended it over flossing. He states that flossing can drag the crud and bacteria deeper into the gums if not done properly (with a new section of floss for each tooth and not going back down after going up). He also states that his patients who use a waterpik have consistently healthier teeth, gums and mouth in general than his hard-core flossers.We bought the adult waterpik for ourselves Waterpik Ultra Water Flosser and this one for our almost 8 year old girl. We all love them! Our daughter is much better about doing her teeth now that she has her waterpik because it's "fun". Plus her teeth/gums end up way cleaner than when she was trying to do floss and brush before.In hindsight, I would buy this unit for myself as well over the adult unit. The reason being is that it is smaller and doesn't take up as much room on the counter. In addition, it doesn't have a lid with a compartment in it for a bunch of useless attachments (as the adult one does). The problem with that lid is it can be a hassle to get on and off because it can pop open. Also, I like the color better. It comes with stickers which, obviously, you don't have to use, so it doesn't look like a kids unit otherwise.The one issue we've had with our daughter is that she has a hard time pressing the water chamber down tight enough on the unit for it to seal. We solved this by keeping a little plastic cup in the bathroom and so she just fills the cup with water then pours it into the water chamber as needed (and this is fun also apparently...)Summary: Great unit, better for your teeth than flossing, fun for kids to use so increases compliance, and smaller footprint than the blue adult one.

Works great for braces! Like all waterpics I've ever used, it is a bit noisy. But honestly that doesn't bother me or my son, who uses it. This was recommended by his orthodontist and as a dental assistant I agree it is great to use when in braces. The value was good. It had fun stickers. I would highly recommend detaching the tip and allowing it to dry between uses.

I got the Waterpik Water Flosser for Kids (WP-260) for my 8-year-old, and it’s been a great addition to his oral hygiene routine. The fun green color makes it kid-friendly, and the simple controls mean he can use it on his own without any issues.It works really well and makes flossing much easier than traditional string floss. One helpful tip—make sure the tip is in the mouth before turning it on or off, or you’ll end up with water everywhere (learned that the hard way!). Also, be sure to start with the pressure on low when turning it on and then adjust higher as needed for comfort and effectiveness.Overall, it’s a great product that makes flossing fun and easy for kids. Would’ve given 5 stars if it had a bit more water pressure control, but it still does the job perfectly!

Works really well as expected. My son uses it easily and it’s not complicated. The water pressure is strong but not too strong. Cleans well. The reservoir is big enough to accommodate a full cleaning. Comes with interchangeable tips for retainers and such. The designs is good but I feel more options would have been great. My son happens to like the green though. Overall recommend it.
