Waterpik Adds Kids Water Flosser

Water Pik, Inc. is rolling out a kid-friendly product, the Waterpik Water Flosser for Kids.

According to a recent study by the American Association of Pediatric Dentists, 42% of mothers in the U.S. agreed that their kids needed to improve their oral healthcare regimen and 20% of parents reported that their child had at least one cavity in the past year.

The new Waterpik Water Flosser For Kids features new technology and is clinically proven to be up to twice as effective as traditional floss, according to the company.Recent studies show that it removes 99.9% of plaque from treated areas and is more than three times as effective as string floss for cleaning around braces.

The Water Flosser For Kids is designed to accommodate smaller hands—ideal for ages six to twelve. It includes two tips—one Classic Jet Tip and one Orthodontic Tip—as well as an extra safe, kid-proof electrical design, three pressure settings, and compact size for easy storage. The unit also comes with 20 removable cling decals in colorful designs that kids can use to customize their unit.
