On a Scale from 1 to 10, we are giving the Waterpik Whitening a solid 8.
The Waterpik Whitening is a highly efficient device when it comes to removing plaque and debris, very similar to the Waterpik Aquarius, but besides this, it incorporates an infuser technology that provides a whitening effect.
We are giving it 8 stars because the whitening effect is very subtle, yes, it makes your teeth look lighter and brighter, and yes, it removes superficial stains, but its effects are not as notorious as most people probably expect them to be.
That said, we still believe the Waterpik Whitening is a great investment in your oral health.
