Currently, there is a special going on over at the

http://ora-md.com website.

This is a blend of the essential oils of Peppermint, Almond and Spearmint.

I’ve seen peppermint pop up in some other oral care products for gum health too.

The idea is that this blend will help you kill the bacteria that cause gum disease / gingivitis and bad breath.

One bottle will last you approximately three months. I have found that to be true. In fact, sometimes a bottle lasts me a lot longer.

I just use two or three drops on my tongue or a tooth brush and either swish the mixture in my mouth or brush with it.

It mixes with your saliva and that two or three drops really turns into something. You can taste the power in the formula.

If you read some of the testimonials, you’ll see quite a few happy people. It is fun to read what they have to say about the product.

The bottle has a spill proof top that really works! I can carry the bottle around in my pocket all day long under the roughest of activities and it has never leaked. Not many products can boast of that.

Anyway, at the time of this writing they are having a nice special .

Background: Gingivitis starts out as a mild inflammation.  Bleeding gums may be evident when you brush or floss at this point.  Gingivitis can move into various stages of gum disease a.k.a periodontal disease.   All three terms, gum disease, periodontal diseases and gingivitis are various stages of the same disease.

Another word for the inflammation of the gum tissue is periodontitis.  This literally means ‘inflammation of the periodontal tissue”.  As you may have surmised by now, periodontal means the flesh that surrounds the tooth.

Swollen gums are another symptom of diseased tissue.  When gingivitis progresses to gum disease, you may start to see receding gums.  This is something to avoid at all costs.  Currently, there is not much that can be done to return the tissue short of surgery.  Therefore it is very important to keep your gums healthy and well.

If things progress to far, you will find the teeth begin to get loose.  Before this happens, you should be under the care of a periodontist.  A good one can help you avoid tooth extraction or help to ’save’ the tooth – prevent it from falling out! You may or may not even have a toothache.  That is one reason that gum disease is so insidous, it really sneaks up on you.  If you are not on your guard, it can really progress and leaving you wondering, “What happened”?

Periodontics is simply the profession, made up of periodontists who are concerned with the treatment of these periodontal diseases.  Take good care of your teeth now and you may never need a receding gum treatment (surgery).  Read the oradr reviews.

However, I want to warn you that simply using a product that kills bacteria may not be enough to avoid future gum treatments.  You must focus on the mechanical, daily distruption of plaque.

To learn more about this I have created a free report entitled: How To Stop Gum Disease.  For more in depth information about stopping gum disease and trying to prevent gum recession treatment, read the book: What You Should Know about Gum Disease.

The book is available at http://www.GingivitisKiller.com in e-book form – You can read it immediately.

It is also available in print (and kindle too) at online book sellers. As well as my own online dental health store.

Avoiding advanced gum disease is very important to your dental health – not to mention towards keeping your own teeth. There is no need to scare you with gum disease pictures because you have probably already seen those! Make your gums healthy again. At the online dental health store, you will find many useful tools. Any purchase from this page or from that store entitles you to a free copy of What You Should Know about Gum Disease in digital (e-Book) form. You will literally read it from the comfort of your own computer desk!

To claim your copy: After making a purchase of the oramd product or any product from my online store (ToothyGrinsStore.com), simply use this contact form: http://www.ToothyGrinsStore.com/contact to send me your purchase receipt and to request your free copy of the book.

This product review is also about my story of fighting back against gum disease. The Hydro Floss was the first tool that I found to actually be useful in that struggle.

It helped my gums to stop bleeding. But it wasn’t just about bleeding gums which are more or less indicative of gum disease.

You see, for years my gums would bleed while the hygienist was cleaning them. I didn’t know any better. I thought it was normal and I didn’t think much of it. I wasn’t told any different and obviously I wasn’t told what to do about it.

Therefore, the problem got progressively worse. It seemed as if it was sudden, but it actually took years to get to this point. One day, I was told that I needed a root scaling and planing treatment because there was tartar (hardened plaque) under my gums.

You see, a root scaling and planing isn’t like a regular cleaning. They actually numb your gums up and then proceed to scrape below the gums down along the root surface. That sounded like it was going to be excruciating when the anesthetic actually wore off. I just plain didn’t like the sound of that.

To make matters worse, I was told that I had to sign a waiver that stated if I didn’t get this cleaning done, they wouldn’t be responsible if I lost my teeth. At this point, I was a little bewildered. I wondered why there wasn’t any warning of this given to me in the past.

I didn’t like what I was experiencing one bit. I decided to refuse the root scaling and planing treatment and try to figure out if there was something else I could do instead.

I searched and searched and decided that I would try the Hydro Floss.

The Hydro Floss is an interesting device that uses magnets. A Journal of Periodontology study had shown good results with the Hydro Floss.

I decided to get one and try it. It was a little messy to use at first. But fortunately it came with an instructional video. I quickly got the hang of it.

The Hydro Floss has turned out to be an indispensable part of my oral care routine. I still use it on a daily basis.

After about five months of using the Hydro Floss, I went back to the dentist for my regularly scheduled cleaning.

The dentist and hygienist seemed a bit perplexed. I was actually told that there was no more tartar build up under the gumline and that whatever I was doing, I should keep it up.

Of course, I’m absolutely delighted by the results. I didn’t have to get that root scaling and planing treatment after all.

That is my story about utilizing the Hydro Floss. I’m glad that I found it and I still use it daily and plan to continue using it on a daily basis.

I would want another one if something happened to mine. Fortunately, they appear to be of very sturdy construction. I’ve had mine for two years and it is still going strong.

The nice thing about the hydro floss is that it helps you to clean your mouth in a better way than just brushing and flossing, in my opinion.
I think this is a good tool to have for many reasons. It’s nice to use it after a meal to get all the food particles that are stuck between your teeth out. It can leave you with a nice, clean feeling that you might not get with regular brushing alone.

One unit comes with 4 tips, so a single Hydro Floss can be used by the whole family.

Hey, it stopped my gums from bleeding!

This is an essential oil blend of spearmint, peppermint and almond oils.

I use this as part of my gum care regimen which also includes regular brushing and flossing, the use of the hydrofloss, the use of mouthpaste, the use of oxygenated compound and dental picks.

I carry this bottle which has a leak proof top (a cap that actually works- I’ve never had one drip or leak yet and I carry it extensively and the bottle gets jostled a lot. ) around with me in a pocket or bag.

If I eat a meal and don’t have access to the mouthpaste mentioned above, I will often use this essential oil blend instead. I use it with a toothbrush or without a toothbrush.

The way it works is that you take 1 to 3 tiny drops and place them on the end of a toothbrush or just your tongue if you don’t have a toothbrush.

You then brush normally (gentle is always best with a toothbrush). Or if you don’t have a brush, just swish the three drops in your mouth and it will mix with your saliva. It has a bit of a bite to it.

They say that the oils kill the germs that cause gum disease and bad breath. I believe that is true. They also say that it creates ‘a barrier’ against those bacteria. That I don’t know about, but I definitely use this tool in my oral care regiment.

For me, ensuring good gum health means preventing the build up of those bacteria that cause gum disease and the plaque that they live in. This essential oil blend is one tool that I use to help me do that.

At the time of this writing they currently have a special: Buy 3 bottles of the essential oil blend and get one free for a $ 19.93 savings.

If you use the oil blend three times a day, a single bottle will last about three months. Therefore, it is a pretty good deal. And they offer free shipping. This product is available around the world.
