“Does a water flosser whiten teeth?”
I am a 23 year old female. I want to know if a water flosser whitens teeth?

Only to the extent that it removes substances from the teeth. In doing so, it will lighten your teeth to their original shade. The only way to whiten the natural color of your teeth more than they are without placing restorations, is to use an effective whitening product.
If there is plaque on your teeth, a water flosser can be effective at removing it, which may make teeth look whiter, but water flossing should not be expected to actually whiten the teeth themselves.
Hello,
While water flossers have several benefits, they do not whiten teeth. If whiter teeth is your goal, I suggest you visit a dentist who offers whitening/bleaching. Whitening is a chemical treatment. While flossers may remove some external stain, oxidation of internal stains and pigments need to occur.
Hope this helps.
