I just purchased the Flosser 2 Pack. Can i use a liquid gel toothpaste in the reservoir?

Nope. The reservoir is designed for either water or mouthwash only. If you put a thick substance in the reservoir you will gum up the works.

Not for long! The gel will harden and that will be the end. Use water or fluids that flow like water. I also fllush the pump of liquid if it's going to go unused longer than several day (travel, etc.). You've most likely seen how toothpaste hardens when left outside its tube; it's a gel too.

I would not recommend it, the chemicals used in the toothpaste could damage the plastic. Any way you would have to dilute the gel.

You would have to call Waterpik directly to order them. Ur model number should be either on the bottom or on the flossing-jet somewhere.

Yes. I buy it at Smart and Final. make sure you let the machine heat up for a full ten minutes before pouring the floss in

Yes, mine is brand new, and I can't deal with the rattling racket, so I'm considering returning it and going back to the good-old floss. Besides, the waterpik use left food particles between my teeth, which the after-flossing captured.

The gel is made to go with the device and the GLO light accelerates the whitener! I only use them together

I am using this flosser with my waterpick ultra water flosser. The connector looks pretty standard to waterpick but I've only ever owned the unit I have.

Yes...it the gel cam is like a "liquid ford"...so be careful squirting it out. Don't need a lot to do teeth...do not swallow it either. Hope this helps!

Sorry can't help u, mine never worked. When I tried to return it the company refunded my money and told me to keep it as a souvenir. I don't believe u need to use any gel as mine didn't come with any and should feel similar to a cat licking u.

Yes. This product is just for the whitening gel and remineralization gel. It would be best to get the trays done at the dentist to ensure the trays go all the way to the gumline. Im not sure, but maybe a good at home kit will work too. Paired with good trays, this whitening gel is the most effective and cost effecient way to whiten your teeth!

I leave mine plugged in and in the base all the time. I alternate every other night brushing my teeth with a manual toothbrush. When I floss after using the Sonicare, it's *gross* how much gunk I'm able to get out easily. That alone proves how effective the Sonicare is at moving stuff out of the gums to where it can be removed. Just keep that kind of thing in mind: Sonicare vs. rotting gunk.

Hi, only use the blue gel if you get sensitivity to the whitening clear ones. :0)

you should always use the pink tip when applying gel to the tray. I try to put a thin line in the bottom of the tray, and the tray adheres to the teeth better if the teeth are dry. I usually blot my teeth with a paper towel before putting the trays in.

I purchased a custom fit top and bottom tray and the first set of Opalescence cleaner during a dental appointment. You can purchase sets from dental offices that can make same day teeth molds for the purpose of preventing grinding while you sleep or others that you may find at pharmacies such as CVS, Walgreens, or Walmart but they are the type you heat up in water, take out "warm" and press against your teeth to mold. However, they may not hold up to the chemicals in the Opalescence gel. Best advice would be to contact your dentist to make them for you and the cost should be under $100.00 including you first Opalescence gel but at a lower concentration. My replacement gel is the PF 35% which for some people could be too strong for their teeth and gums. I haven't had those problems following the instructions for the length of time of being against your teeth. This higher concentration whitens much faster for me.

I use it only with Seachem Matrix biological media. The carbon pad traps both large and small debris while clarifying the water, so there is no need for another floss/pad type media in my set up.

I simply applied the gel to my upper and lower bleaching try and installed. If you use the correct amount it will fill the gaps and work good. Do as the directions say and don't use to much as it will bleach out your gums if it oozes out to much.....

Just add more water to the fill line. The gel inside lasts a really long time.
