Is it safe to use a water flosser every day?

Question

I recently bought a Waterpik water flosser because I have large gaps between my teeth and regular floss doesn't reach well. I'm using it every morning and night, but I'm worried whether it's normal to use it that often or if it could damage my gums in the long run.

A water flosser is safe to use daily, even twice a day, as long as you use the right pressure settings (most good devices have adjustments for that). The important thing is that it shouldn't replace brushing or floss, but rather be a complement for those larger gaps where floss doesn't reach well, so you're doing the right thing there.
