CLEANING AND TROUBLESHOOTING YOUR WATERPIK
Toothbrush Tip
Place the toothbrush tip in mouth with
the brush head on the tooth at the
gumline. The toothbrush tip can be
used with or without toothpaste. Turn the Water Flosser on so the water
flows through the tip. Using a light pressure (bristles should not bend)
massage the brush back and forth with very short strokes-much like you
would with a manual toothbrush.
