It gets stuff out that brushing & floss just can't. - Baratza Virtuoso (bought used). Our Encore was starting to be inconsistent after a few years, and the Virtuoso was a noticeable upgrade.

A lot of dentists will tell you that a Waterpik doesn't replace flossing.

There is no evidence that flossing has any beneficial effect.

It doesn't, but it also can clean things that flossing can't.

I still floss (not as regularly as before), and yeah, the waterpik doesn't replace it.
