The American Dental Association (ADA) recently awarded its Seal of Acceptance to the Waterpik Water Flosser. This marks the first time that the ADA has given such approval to a powered interdental cleaner. In order to earn the Seal of Acceptance, a product must meet certain safety and efficacy benchmarks.
ADA Council on Scientific Affairs’ Seal Subcommittee chair Dr. John Dmytryk said that the device has proven to be successful at lowering plaque levels in between teeth and reducing the incidence of gum disease. He further stated that the ADA Seal of Acceptance shows this device to be safe and effective in standard oral care. To learn more about the program, visit ADA.org/seal.
