Also, neither the electric toothbrush or the Water Pik eliminate the need to floss at least once a day.
Use Both...and electric toothbrush AND a water pic. Yes its messy....just lean way over the sink and keep your mouth closed around the water pic to avoid splashing. There is no plaque when you use all three.,
