We recommend replacing the Classic Jet Tip, Implant Denture Tip, and Tongue Cleaner every 6 months because mineral deposits can collect and reduce performance over time.
For tips with bristles, we recommend replacing every 3 months. Similar to a toothbrush, the bristles can splay, making the tip less effective. This applies to the Plaque Seeker™ Tip, Orthodontic Tip, Pik PocketTM Tip, and Toothbrush Tip.
To find and shop for compatible tips for a specific WATERPIK water flosser model:
Yes, WATERPIK water flossers have removable tips so that multiple family members can use the same device. A ring at the base of the tip is color-coded for easy identification.
Every water flosser has a Tip Eject button, which allows you to remove the tip. If you are unsure of the location of the Tip Eject button, consult the Instruction Manual for your model here:
Quick Start Guides & Instruction Manuals
Note: When you insert a new tip into the water flosser, ensure it clicks into place. If the water flosser leaks from the base of the tip, turn off the unit and make sure the tip is firmly in place.
To clean water flosser tips:
- Remove the tip from the unit using the eject button.
- Soak the water flosser tip in a container of hydrogen peroxide or white vinegar for 5-7 minutes.
- Rinse the tip under warm water.
For maximum effectiveness over time, we recommend replacing water flosser tips every 3-6 months.
