Every dentist I’ve had disliked water piks. I had one for a while. Had.

If you are truly struggling and need actual dental care, try searching for a local dental school near you. Many will take patients for cheap or free, with the caveat that a dental student will be performing the treatment.
Otherwise, brush at least twice a day and floss. Do not re-use strands of floss, like with those convenient plastic picks. You’ll just be transferring bacteria to each crevice after it’s been used.
Get a water pick (whatever it’s called) - I heard those are great but I don’t have one myself.

Also, in my area, most dentist will allow you to pay over time (like a year+…).
Also, there are FREE programs like this:

Ask around - you may be surprised.
