HOWDY Dave,

I am still using my hydro floss.

I still have red mad gums, however I think it might be helping the bleeding. They seem to not bleed as much, it is not an instant fix along with my hard work of consistent brushing and flossing and such I think in time this just might be the key.

I used it 2 times yesterday; it does not hurt. The first day it seemed to make my gums more mad but I wonder if this is the healing process? I go in for a cleaning by the Dentist the 9th of next month so we’ll see from now till then if we can conquer this deal!!!

More tomorrow!

Heather

Hi Heather,

This is great news. I am so happy to hear of your initial success and am looking forward to hearing more.

This is very similar to my own experience with the Hydro Floss. I watched as my gums became better over a period of a few months with the hydro floss.

When I went back to the dentist two months later, they were visibly amazed, though they didn’t say anything. It was kind of like they didn’t want to acknowledge the hydro floss.

My dentist just said, “keep doing whatever you are doing”, as if she didn’t know I was using the hydro floss.

Keep up the good work.

Are you also using the mouthwash and toothpaste with trays?

Keep going!
