BEFORE DAY ONE
Safety first, intensity second.
This plan is general educational information, not a diagnosis or individualized care. Ask a dental professional about pain, persistent bleeding, recent dental work, or a condition-specific question.

DAY 1
Learn the controls
Read the device manual, fill with lukewarm water, and start at a comfortable low setting over the sink.
DAY 2
Practice the back teeth
Lean over the sink and keep your lips partly closed so water can drain without spraying.
DAY 3
Trace the gumline
Move slowly and pause briefly between teeth. Comfort matters more than speed.
DAY 4
Attach it to a habit
Put the session next to a routine you already keep, such as your evening brush.
DAY 5
Notice comfort, not intensity
More pressure is not automatically better. Use a setting you can repeat comfortably.
DAY 6
Clean the device
Empty, rinse, and air-dry the reservoir and tip exactly as the manufacturer directs.
DAY 7
Keep what worked
Repeat the time, setting, and cue that felt sustainable. Consistency is the useful result.
