TIP USAGE

Pik PocketTM 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.
