On March 20 —World Oral Health Day—Waterpik unveiled the PROMAX™ Water Flosser, a new countertop model designed to support gum health through advanced features. As the #1 water flosser brand recommended by dental professionals in the US, Waterpik timed this launch to align with global efforts to raise awareness about oral health and prevention.
The PROMAX introduces SMARTADVANCE™ mode, an automated feature that gradually increases water pressure intensity over time. With daily use (about 1 minute per session), it progresses from a starting level (around 3) to higher deep-cleaning settings (up to 9+), aiming to make the transition more comfortable while delivering a thorough clean beneath the gumline—areas brushing often misses.
Clinical studies shared by Waterpik indicate the PROMAX can help significantly reduce bleeding gums and contribute to restoring gingival health in as little as six weeks when used consistently with the appropriate tip. Additional highlights include:
- 10 adjustable intensity settings for customization
- 5 specialty flossing tips suited to various needs (such as for implants, braces, or general use)
- A 360° rotating handle for easier reach around the mouth
- Quadrant timer to guide even coverage
- QUIETPULSE™ technology for quieter operation
- ADA acceptance for safety and effectiveness
This model builds on Waterpik's focus on effective, user-friendly tools that clean deep where plaque and bacteria can accumulate, potentially supporting better gum health as part of a daily routine.
