WForget iPads, the star of this year's Amazon Prime Day is your teeth. We've found some really incredible oral health deals this year, from $30 Crest Whitestrips to a powerful electric toothbrush that's a whopping 45% off. But the best deal we've found is one that I personally shopped two years ago—the Waterpik, the most powerful tool missing from your bathroom.
This particular cordless Waterpik has nearly 63,000 Amazon reviews from satisfied shoppers. During the October Prime Day event, it's only $59.99, or 40% off its normal price. The Waterpik is a water flosser, or a device that uses a targeted stream of water to clean the crevices between your teeth. It's similar to water flossers you've likely experienced at the dentist's office, but comes in a handheld form you can use in your own mouth.
The Waterpik comes with a built-in basin to hold water, which funnels through the spout to clean your teeth. It looks and feels like an electric toothbrush, so you can manipulate it around your mouth to find the best angles to tackle any food stuck between your teeth. It's meant to supplement (not replace) conventional flossing, so don't toss your string floss just yet.
I've owned a Waterpik for two years now and it's one of the best things that's ever graced my countertop. The version I have has an external basin filled with water so I have to refill it less frequently than the cordless version, but the basin on this model should contain enough water for one cleaning session. There's something deliciously refreshing about feeling water spray your teeth before you brush. It's like being at the dentist but slightly less terrifying.
Waterpik models often go on sale during these events, so shop the one best for you before Prime Day ends at midnight. You won't see sales like this again until Black Friday.
