Water flossers are great dental hygiene product but, for what they are, they can be pretty expensive. Spending over £100 for something that sprays water through a nozzle is steep – whichever one you buy, it’s just a pump and a water container.

Anybody who knows me will know that I love to try and make people laugh. At school is was predicted I’d be a comedian. Computers came along and changed that path for me.
