Can you damage your gums with a Waterpik?

I am a 30 year old male. I want to know if you can damage your gums with a Waterpik?

Yes, if used on too high a setting. Would try a more moderate setting first and work your way up.
The answer is possibly. Only if you turn it up to the max. Usually, a setting of 4 to 6 is adequate to work.
That is a good question. A WaterPik is a safe appliance to utilize to help optimize your oral health. Any piece of equipment can injure your gums if not properly used. As far as I am aware, the WaterPik is a safe instrument to use to help keep your smile forever.
If used as directed, should not damage gums.
