Most of my life I\u2019ve used floss that I hold in my hands. Water picks are supposed to gently wash food particles from between the teeth an from under the edges of the gums around your teeth. <\/p>\n<p>What I didn\u2019t find the water pick did was scrape off the scummy stuff that sticks to my teeth. It seems to need higher pressure or physical contact. <\/p>\n<p>So I didn\u2019t really like the water pick. <\/p>\n<p>A while ago I hurt a finger and couldn\u2019t handle the floss. So I bought some of those flosser sticks that are kind of y shaped with floss running from one to the other. The other end is usually pointy and can be used to help with things stuck between the teeth. <\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t expect to like them nearly as much as I do. I just found ones with dental tape instead of floss. I have some very close teeth and would often break floss. I don\u2019t break the dental tape. Very happy with them. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Juliette Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Floss removes more plaque but if you find flossing difficult the water pik is a good choice.
