The Waterpik® Water Flosser Earns the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance

by ·

Waterpik®, a leader in innovative personal oral health care products for 55 years, has received the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance for the Waterpik® Water Flosser. While more than 200 products carry the ADA Seal of Acceptance, the Waterpik® Water Flosser is the first and only powered interdental product to earn the Seal.

The ADA Seal of Acceptance assures consumers those products which carry the seal are safe and effective for oral health care. Specifically, the ADA certifies that the Waterpik® Water Flosser:

•Helps reduce plaque along the gum line and between teeth
•Helps prevent and reduce gingivitis, often a precursor to periodontal disease

Jay McCulloch, Vice President Global Marketing, Waterpik® Oral Care, said “Waterpik® is now at the forefront of the power oral care category – especially in the area of clinical research. Currently there are over 70 published studies showing the efficacy and safety of water flossing, and we’re proud to be the first in our class to earn the ADA Seal. Consumers can really trust Waterpik® to be a brand that is backed by science and supported by experts in the industry!”

“This product was shown to reduce plaque and gingivitis in areas between the teeth, often the most difficult areas for patients to effectively clean,” said Dr. John Dmytryk, chair of the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs’ Seal Subcommittee. “By granting the ADA Seal of Acceptance to the Waterpik® Water Flosser, consumers for whom these devices are appropriate can be confident that they can be a safe and effective component of their daily oral care when used as directed.”

The Waterpik® Water Flossers earning the ADA Seal of Acceptance are:

•Aquarius® Professional Designer Series (WP-670 – available in black, white, teal, blue orchid and pink, MSRP $89.99)
•Aquarius® Professional (WP-660 – available in black or white, MSRP $79.99)
•Ultra (WP-100 – available in black or white, MSRP $59.99)
•Traveler™ (WP-300 – MSRP $69.99)
•Nano™

The body of clinical research shows the Waterpik® Water Flosser to be the most effective way to clean between teeth, and it is widely recommended by dentists and dental hygienists. It’s proven to remove up to 99.9% of plaque from treated areas, and to be significantly more effective than string floss, air floss and interdental brushes.

The Waterpik® Water Flosser is currently available through retailers, online at Waterpik.com and through dental professionals.
