Water flossers are a popular dental hygiene tool for many, and Waterpik is one of the most recognizable names in the game. The brand’s American Dental Association-approved tools are highly regarded by reviewers for their effective plaque-busting abilities. Still, some of the more heavy-duty models can occupy more real estate, making them inconvenient for smaller bathrooms and unfeasible for traveling.
Luckily, there’s a streamlined option available at Amazon right now — Waterpik’s cordless “Pulse” model — for less than $40, 20% off its typical price of $49.99. It has a 4.4-star rating on Amazon and 8,751 reviewers have given the device five stars. What a perfect time to commit to stepping up your oral care in the new year!
The Pulse is waterproof and pared-down from other Waterpik models.
While most of Waterpik’s cordless water flosser are created fairly equal, this pared-down option makes a really smart buy for anyone who wants Waterpik’s powerful pressurized cleaning stream but doesn’t need the bells and whistles.
The Pulse is completely waterproof, unlike the popular Pearl model, and. The Advanced offers a high and low setting for custom pressure cleaning. You can take it in the shower with you and rest assured it won’t get any water damage. It also comes with two extra flosser tips so you can rotate them out, or share with a partner.
And it’s extremely portable.
The Pulse promises o banish 99.99% percent of plaque bacteria from your pearly whites with an effectiveness rate double that of dental floss. It has a 6-ounce water reservoir for up to 45 seconds of continuous cleaning, and the higher-capacity battery life means you can use it for up to four weeks on a single charge. It’s powered by an included USB-A cord, so you can stick it in a backpack or suitcase for easy travel.
Reviewers are reporting excellent oral care results, backed by their dentists!
”I went to the dentist this week after using the Waterpik for six months. My gums were tested for healthiness (apparently this is done every two – three years) and my gums were in better shape than the last time, three years ago,” one user, Kathryn, wrote.
“I told the dental hygienist that I started using the Waterpik the week before my last appointment six months prior and she agreed that the flossed has contributed to the health of my gums.”
And she isn’t alone! Several reviewers noted that their dentist either recommended the flosser to them or that their gum and teeth improvement shocked their dentists’ socks off during their visit after using this gadget consistently.

“I have never used a water flosser and there is a learning curve. The first time I used it, I read the directions and scanned the QR code and watched a video that shared tips. I thought I had a good understanding. Nope. I managed to spray the mirror and counter, somehow managing to miss the wall. Each time I was determined to get it right and I’d end up accidentally opening my mouth or taking the unit out of my mouth when it’s running out of water without turning it off. It does get better. The Waterpik flosser works better than dental floss. I ate popcorn and used the Waterpik. I then flossed afterwards and found no food particles that were missed. I have a spot between a crown and the tooth behind it and I think it’s called a spacer by my dentist. Everything gets stuck in there, but the Waterpik flosser gets it out. Celery, popcorn, you name it, the Waterpik gets it out. One thing my dentist cautioned me on was to keep it on the lower setting. I have got to the point that I can fill up the reservoir with warm water and am able to do all of my teeth, including the outer and inner side of each one. It’s worth the learning curve and I feel as though my teeth are cleaner. I have used it several times and I have not had to charge it up yet.
Update: I went to the dentist this week after using the Waterpik for six months. My gums were tested for healthiness (apparently this is done every two – three years) and my gums were in better shape than the last time, three years ago. I told the dental hygienist that I started using the Waterpik the week before my last appointment six months prior and she agreed that the flossed has contributed to the health of my gums. This flosser really works.”— Kathryn“I’m really impressed with this Waterpik. It’s powerful, comfortable to use, and cleans much better than regular floss. The cordless design is convenient, the water pressure is strong, and my teeth and gums feel noticeably cleaner after each use. The battery lasts long, and the device is lightweight and easy to handle. I’m very satisfied and highly recommend it to anyone looking to improve their oral care routine.” — Laura Alvarez
“This water flosser is so easy to set up and use. I was shocked at how much I love to use it, especially compared to regular floss. My dentist advised me that floss picks in particular, are bad for your gums because they twang on your gums. This water flosser however, has the right amount of pressure to effectively clean between teeth and without any pain or discomfort – I have yet to use the higher setting. The low setting has worked just fine for me. In addition, because I have a permanent bottom retainer, it is particularly difficult for me to floss that area. This water flosser is exceptionally easier and I don’t have to worry about the build up on my bottom teeth anymore. After purchasing for myself, I bought another to gift my Dad.” — The Carswells

A Crest 3D Whitestrips teeth whitening kit
If brushing alone isn’t giving you the white smile you want, Hagan named the Crest 3D Whitestrips Professional Effects Plus teeth whitening strip kit — a HuffPost reader favorite — as one of the “great at-home options for whitening.” She mentioned it’s especially good for folks who have never whitened their teeth before. The kit comes with 24 treatments that you can apply daily for 45 minutes to an hour before peeling them off. The brand claims they can remove over 25 years of stubborn stains, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile.
Amazon
Lumineux teeth whitening strips
Hagan also recommends these Lumineux whitening strips for people with sensitive teeth. They’re non-toxic and peroxide-free, instead using natural ingredients like coconut oil and Dead Sea salt. The box comes with seven treatments that work in much the same way as the Crest strips: Apply them for 30 minutes once a day for four days, and then once a week after that or as directed by your dentist.

Or the Davids fluoride-free nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste
For folks who want a fluoride-free toothpaste option, Hagan’s pick is this Davids nano hydroxyapatite toothpaste for sensitive teeth. It’s naturally sourced, vegan, whitening and comes in two flavors: peppermint or orange vanilla.
Amazon
A Cocofloss Cocobrush manual toothbrush
Even though Hagan prefers that her patients use an electric toothbrush, she still has a suggestion for those who want a manual toothbrush. “Cocofloss has a wonderful, soft toothbrush,” she says. “The bristles feel great on your gums.”
The Cocobrush has thousands of micro-bristles that are designed to be 75% finer than a standard toothbrush and an angled brush head to reach under the gum line. It comes in four colors.

Cocofloss woven dental floss
You’ve probably heard this from your own dentist before, but you can’t skip on floss — and yes, that means string floss. “Water flossing is great, but it does not replace traditional floss or floss picks,” Hagan says. “That mechanical debridement of your teeth and gums is important.”
One of her favorites is this kid-friendly string floss from Cocofloss, which is also great for adults. “I love a good grippy floss,” she says. “It is a little thicker, so it’s great at pulling out all that gunk, but the best part is all the flavors! My team and I love the strawberry, pineapple and watermelon flavors the most.”
Amazon
Or a pack of Colgate Extra Clean toothbrushes (24% off)
Dr. Joke Alesh, a dentist in Rhode Island, previously told HuffPost she buys these seriously affordable Colgate toothbrushes in bulk for the convenience of changing her toothbrush every month. They’re a great option, especially if you don’t see yourself remembering to change the brush head on an electric toothbrush as often as you should.
“When it comes to tooth brushing, the most important thing to me is the bristles,” Alesh said. “Flattened, worn bristles do not effectively displace plaque. I know I wouldn’t change expensive or complicated brush heads as often.”

The Waterpik Sonic Fusion 2.0 combo water flosser and toothbrush
“I recommend water flossers to certain patients, like those who have many implants or a lot of bone loss,” says Hagan, who adds that she doesn’t use water flossers herself very often because “I’m a busy mom and don’t have time to add yet another item into my morning and nightly routines.”
Still, there are options out there for those who want to add this step to their routine. “If my patient is really resistant to flossing and wants to try a water flosser, Waterpik has a really neat product that is a combination toothbrush and water flosser,” Hagan says.
She’s talking about the Waterpik Sonic Fusion 2.0, which has three cleaning modes, two toothbrush speeds, a two-minute brushing timer and 10 pressure settings for the water flosser component. You can use it to brush, floss or do both at once by just pressing a button, making this a great option if you’re in a similar boat as Hagan and may not always have the time to devote to this extra step.
