Waterpik

Waterpik is the pioneering brand in water flossing technology, founded in 1962 by dentist Gerald Moyer and engineer John Mattingly in Fort Collins, Colorado. The two inventors developed the first oral irrigator as an alternative to traditional string floss, using a pulsating stream of water to clean between teeth and below the gumline. Now a subsidiary of Church & Dwight, Waterpik has become synonymous with water flossing and holds dominant market share in the oral irrigator category worldwide. The brand's product lineup includes countertop water flossers, cordless portable models, the Waterpik Sonic-Fusion (the first device to combine a water flosser and sonic toothbrush), replacement tips, and whitening tablets. Waterpik water flossers have been clinically proven to be more effective than traditional string floss for reducing plaque, gingivitis, and bleeding, and are particularly beneficial for people with braces, implants, crowns, and bridges. The brand holds the American Dental Association Seal of Acceptance for safety and efficacy, making it one of the most dentist-recommended water flossing brands globally. Waterpik has expanded beyond oral care into shower heads and other personal care products. The brand continues to innovate with new flosser designs and technologies that make interdental cleaning easier and more effective for consumers worldwide.
