One of the coolest inventions in personal hygiene is the electric toothbrush. You still brush your teeth for two to five minutes, three times a day, but with the electric toothbrush you can enjoy yourself while you do it. Of course, the cool factor went up with the invention of the battery operated, cordless electric toothbrush. It had an even greater wow factor, and lots of kids turned toothbrushing from a chore to a very regular routine. Except for the flossing part.
Dental floss does take some getting used to. But it’s not as cool as the electric toothbrush. Now there’s a way to get at the flecks of food between teeth, without using a dental floss, and still be cool. The cordless water pik is such a high tech personal hygiene device that the cool factor is inherent in the design. Imagine cleaning between the teeth using a thin high-pressure water jet. No string which can get tangled between teeth. Just point it and it will wash off the dirt. Way cool!
