I recently started using a water-pik in addition to lighter brushing after seeing my dentist for the first time in a year. He said the water-pik would be more gentle on my gums. My gums seem to be easily injured. I've been using it for several week now, and I like it better. He said I brush too hard.

Best wishes,
