How to Use a Water Flosser – A Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

New to water flossers? Learn how to use one step by step with this easy beginner’s guide. Start your dental routine with confidence.

If you’ve just bought a water flosser or are thinking about getting one, you might be wondering how to use it properly.

This simple guide explains everything you need to know to get started and get results — especially if you’re using the Water Flosser Pro.


Step 1: Fill the Water Tank

Open the tank and fill it with lukewarm water. Cold water may cause sensitivity for some users.
Tip: You can add a small amount of mouthwash if your device allows it.


Step 2: Choose the Right Nozzle

Most flossers come with multiple nozzle heads. Choose the standard tip for daily use. If you have braces or implants, use the orthodontic or plaque-seeking tip if included.


Step 3: Select the Pressure Setting

Start with the lowest setting if you're new. Once you're comfortable, you can gradually increase the pressure for deeper cleaning.


Step 4: Lean Over the Sink and Place the Tip in Your Mouth

Keep your mouth slightly open to let water flow out. Lean forward to avoid splashing water around.


Step 5: Turn It On and Begin Flossing

Move the tip slowly along your gumline and between your teeth.
Focus on:

  • Front and back of each tooth

  • Along the gumline

  • Around dental work like braces or implants

One session usually takes about 60–90 seconds.


Step 6: Turn Off and Clean the Device

Once done, empty the tank and rinse the tip. Keeping your device clean will extend its lifespan.
