CHICAGO (February 20, 2017) The American Dental Association (ADA) today announced the Waterpik® Water Flosser as the first powered interdental cleaner to receive the ADA Seal of Acceptance.
“This product was shown to reduce plaque and gingivitis in areas between the teeth, often the most difficult areas for patients to effectively clean,” said Dr. John Dmytryk, chair of the ADA Council on Scientific Affairs’ Seal Subcommittee. “By granting the ADA Seal of Acceptance to the Waterpik® Water Flosser , consumers for whom these devices are appropriate can be confident that they can be a safe and effective component of their daily oral care when used as directed.”
To earn the Seal, Water Pik, Inc. demonstrated, through providing scientific data, clinical studies and results of laboratory tests, that it meets ADA requirements for product safety and efficacy in the ADA Seal Program’s Powered Interdental Cleaners category.
The ADA Council on Scientific Affairs awarded the ADA Seal of Acceptance to five product lines of the Waterpik® Water Flosser. The Water Flosser product lines that earned the Seal are the Waterpik® Aquarius® Professional, the Waterpik® Aquarius® Professional Designer Series, the Waterpik® Ultra, the Waterpik® Nano™ and the Waterpik® Traveler™ .
