TIP USAGE
Pik Pocket TM Tip
The Pik Pocket Tip is
™
specifically designed to
deliver water or anti-
bacterial solutions deep into
periodontal pockets. It is not
intended for general use.
To use the Pik
Pocket Tip, set
™
the unit to the
lowest pressure
setting. Lean low
over your sink and
place the soft tip against a tooth at a 45-degree
angle facing the gum line and gently move the tip
until it is slightly below the gum, into the pocket.
Turn the unit on and continue tracing along the
gum line, pausing briefly between the teeth until all
periodontal pockets are treated.
NOTE: This tip must be used only with the Pressure
Control set to 1. Use on a higher setting will shorten
life of tip and Water Flosser handle.
Tongue Cleaner Tip
To use the tongue cleaner
tip, set the unit to the lowest
pressure setting. Gently place
the tongue cleaner in the
center/midline of your tongue,
about halfway back and start
the Water Flosser. With light
pressure pull forward. You can
increase pressure as you prefer.
Orthodontic Tip
The special Orthodontic Tip is uniquely designed to
simultaneously brush and rinse hard-to-reach areas
around braces and other dental work. Start on the
last molar (back tooth). Aim water stream at 90
degrees to the tooth at the gumline. Gently glide tip
along gumline, pausing briefly to lightly brush area
between teeth and all around orthodontic bracket,
before proceeding to
the next tooth. Continue
process until you have
cleaned the inside and
outside of both the
upper and lower teeth.
Plaque Seeker ® Tip
Direct the jet stream at a 90-degree angle to your
gumline. Close lips slightly to avoid splashing but
allow water to flow freely from mouth into sink.
Start in the molar (back teeth) area working toward
the front teeth. Place the tip close to the teeth so
that the bristles are gently touching the teeth.
Gently glide tip along gumline, pausing briefly
between teeth to gently brush and allow the water
to flow between the teeth. Continue until all areas
around and between the teeth both inside and
outside, top and bottom have been cleaned.
