It works fabulously and you can use it as much as you like. Just fill with water, aim it into your mouth, bend over the sink and close your eyes (re grossness). The water does the work and cleans out your mouth. It last for a good length of time.
I also put Biotene mouthwash in the water in the Water Pik at time. Lovely fresh mouth!
I did write Water Pik and tell them that they should sponsor OCF because of the number of times I have done this post but it truly is a Godsend for getting rid of that mucous.
