A member asked:
Are electric toothbrush and waterpik good for teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be helpful: Those devices can be very helpful in removing food and debris from your teeth. The most important thing to remove is plaque and bacteria. To completely do this, flossing is a must. It is the only thing that will get between the teeth and gums where the bacteria congregates. Keep up the good work.
