Waterpik Introduces the Latest Addition to the Dental Water Jet Line – The Waterpik Ultra

WATERPIK^®  INTRODUCES THE LATEST ADDITION TO THE DENTAL WATER JET LINE – THE WATERPIK  ULTRA

Fort Collins, CO (February 20, 2006) – The Waterpik^® Dental Water Jet is recommended by more dentists and dental hygienists than any other brand, and for good reason.  Over 45 clinical trials in 25 university and independent research facilities have shown the Waterpik^® Dental Water Jet is a safe, effective and proven tool for attaining superior oral health.  Studies consistently show a significant reduction in gingivitis and bleeding compared to traditional self-care routines.  Now there is another reason to recommend – the new Waterpik  Ultra.

The Waterpik^® Ultra is the newest addition to the dental water jet line.  The contemporary design is smaller, quieter and extremely easy to use.  The unit features an advanced pressure control system with ten settings for precise customization to meet individual need.  A high-volume, covered reservoir accepts most antimicrobials.  The cover helps keep the device clean, prevents spilling and doubles as a storage space for the tip attachments.  Eight attachments are included for individual preference and multiple users.  There are three jet tips, three tongue cleaners, one Pik Pocket^®  tip and a new orthodontic tip.  The orthodontic tip is designed with a tapered brush to remove plaque around fixed appliances, while gentle pulsating water cleans interproximally and subgingivally. 

The Waterpik^® Dental Water Jet Benefits Many

The Waterpik^® Ultra is the ideal self-care device to recommend to all patients, especially those with special needs.  Waterpik^® dental water jets are clinically proven effective with implants, fixed orthodontic appliances, individuals with diabetes, and those in periodontal maintenance.  For those who do not floss regularly, the Waterpik^® Dental Water Jet has been shown to be an effective alternative to traditional flossing for removing plaque and reducing bleeding and gingivitis.
