In actuality, a water flosser can be less harmful to gums and teeth than traditional floss.<\/p> <p>But, there are some caveats. For example, if you use your Waterpik more often than recommended by your dentist, or if you use a high-pressure setting in sensitive areas in the hopes of cleaning your teeth better, you could end up causing some harm.<\/p> <p>Nevertheless, if you think that using a Waterpik has harmed or caused bleeding in your gums, you should see your dentist.<\/p> <p>You can also read our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/best-water-flosser\/waterpik-vs-floss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/best-water-flosser\/waterpik-vs-floss\/\">Water flossing vs regular flossing<\/a>.<\/p> <h2 id=\"does-a-waterpik-cause-bleeding-gums\" \"does-a-waterpik-cause-bleeding-gums\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">Does a Waterpik cause bleeding gums?<\/h2> <p id=\"Does-a-Waterpik-cause-bleeding-gums?\">No, a Waterpik is not the root cause of bleeding gums. The first time you floss, your gums might bleed, but this should stop within two weeks. However, if it doesn\u2019t stop, see a dentist.<\/p> <p>While bleeding may start during flossing, flossing is often not the real reason. In most cases, bleeding when using floss or Waterpiks is caused by a buildup of tartar and plaque that harbors bacteria that cause gum disease.<\/p> <p>Typically, bleeding should reduce over time if the underlying problems are properly addressed unless they are especially serious. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/newsinhealth.nih.gov\/2016\/11\/don-t-toss-floss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/newsinhealth.nih.gov\/2016\/11\/don-t-toss-floss\">research<\/a> has shown that flossing and brushing together are more efficient than brushing alone in treating minor gum disease or removing plaque.<\/p> <p>Water flossers like Waterpiks have also been shown to prevent gum disease and lessen bleeding gums in <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21387981\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/21387981\/\">scientific studies<\/a> that were done to determine their efficacy.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/bleeding-gums\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/bleeding-gums\/\">Read more about the root causes of bleeding gums here.<\/a><\/p> <p>Also, watch this clip by <em>Teeth Talk Girl<\/em> to learn more about <strong>why Waterpiks can hurt your gums<\/strong>.<\/p> <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\"> <div style=\"display: contents;\"> <div id=\"arve-youtube-ardcsudpgfc\" class=\"arve\" data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\"> <div class=\"arve-inner\"> <div class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\"> <div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top: 56.250000%;\"><\/div> <p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" title=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/aRdcsUDPgFc?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" name=\"\" width=\"0\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-arve=\"arve-youtube-ardcsudpgfc\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/aRdcsUDPgFc?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\"><\/iframe><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/div> <\/figure> <h2 id=\"how-to-use-a-waterpik-safely-without-damaging-your-gums\" \"how-to-use-a-waterpik-safely-without-damaging-your-gums\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">How to use a Waterpik safely without damaging your gums<\/h2> <p>You may choose from a variety of pressure levels on a Waterpik water flosser. To switch between various pressure levels, there should be a mode button. It is advised to start with the lowest pressure setting and gradually raise it as necessary.<\/p> <p>To prevent water from spilling over the floor, make sure you\u2019re bending over the sink, then start the water flosser. Make sure your lips are slightly closed and that you are gazing down into the sink. This will prevent splashing when the flosser\u2019s water strikes your teeth while still allowing space for the water to enter the sink.<\/p> <p>The water flosser works best when pointed at a 90-degree angle. While treating the top teeth, begin with the rear teeth and work your way forward before starting on the bottom teeth, again beginning at the back. Be careful to pause in the spaces between your teeth.<\/p> <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/best-water-flosser\/how-to-use-a-waterpik\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.dentaly.org\/us\/best-water-flosser\/how-to-use-a-waterpik\/\">Read more about using a Waterpik water flosser here.<\/a><\/p> <div class=\"call_widget call_widget_default\"> <div class=\"call_widget__title\"><strong>Find a gum specialist near you now<\/strong><\/div> <div class=\"call_widget__container\"> <p><a class=\"click_link\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> to get connected or call <a class=\"phone_link\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">866-383-0748<\/a> (toll-free, 24\/7)<\/p> <p><a class=\"call-btn\" href=\"tel:+18663830748\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Call A Dentist<\/a><\/p> <\/div> <\/div> <h2 id=\"conclusion\" \"conclusion\"class =\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2> <p>When you clean or floss your teeth, healthy gums usually don\u2019t bleed.
