<p>This is a review of the Therabreath product line. I have personally used them and find them to be quite good.</p>
<p>The premise of the products is their potent oxygenated compounds. Oxygenated compounds have the power to eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath, gum disease and other problems.</p>
<p>Many of the therabreath products come in various forms such as mouthwash, gum and toothpaste. I&#8217;ve used the <a href="http://www.perio-therapy.com" target="_blank">Perio-Therapy mouthwash </a> and toothpastes as well as the <a title="Aktiv-Oxigen Serum" href="http://www.oralirrigatordiscount.com" target="_blank">AktivOxigen Serum</a>. Specifically, I like to put the AktivOxigen drops into my <a title="HydroFloss coupon" href="http://www.oralirrigatordiscount.com" target="_blank">hydrofloss</a> (an oral irrigator) before irrigating my teeth and gums.</p>
<p>This practice seems to have been very beneficial. This is, of course, a subjective observation, but still real to me.</p>
<p>There are multiple ways to utilize the therabreath products. Doctor Katz has researched bad breath and even has demonstrated on stage the power of his oxygenated mouthwashes. For example, he bit into an onion and tested his breath using a halimeter ( a device for dtermining the level of bad breath you have). This of course, prompted a very high reading on the halimeter.</p>
<p>Upon using his mouthwash on himself, he showed how the reading on the halimeter was drastically reduced when he retested his own breath.</p>
<p>You see, when it comes to bad breath, the bacteria that cause us problems do so because they release &#8216;volatile sulfur compounds&#8217;. These sulfur containing chemicals are the cause of our bad breath. Reduce them or eliminate them and you may be able to kiss bad breath goodbye.</p>
<p>When it comes to <a href="http://www.gingivitiskiller.com">gum disease or gingivitis</a>, the problem is the anaerobic bacteria that secrete toxins onto and around our gums. When these bacteria are exposed to oxygen, they tend to die or stop reproducing. Either way is a win for you.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.whatyoushouldknowaboutgumdisease.com" target="_blank"><img height="269" alt="book[1]" hspace="10" src="http://tobeinformed.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/book1-1.jpg" width="183" align="left" vspace="10" title="Gum Disease Treatment   What You Should Really Know" /></a>A gum disease treatment is something that your doctor will do in-office. It may involve minor surgery, the use of lasers or in-office &#8216;deep cleanings&#8217;. However, these in-office treatments by themselves &#8211; may not provide the results your are looking for or the problem may recur later.</p>
<p>This is because there is a critical component to gum disease treatments that you should be aware of. Namely, you need to take care of your gums at home. This requires knowledge and daily work. Failure in this area will limit the success of your doctor&#8217;s in-office treatment.</p>
<p>You can ask your doctor or any dental professional. The key to improved gum tissue health revolves more fully around what you do at home. Without this work at home on your part, it is very possible that more expensive and possibly painful (during the recovery) treatments will be on the horizon.</p>
<p>The good news is that most people can improve their gum health at home and even avoid expensive treatments through good oral care maintenance at home. The bad news is that like an ostrich with its head buried in the sand, your unprotected end is exposed to whatever may happen next.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, even your doctor and other professionals in the office may not tell you what you can do at home, beyond basic brushing and flossing, to improve your gum health. Some do, but many do not.</p>
<p>This creates a puzzle for patients that many are not even aware of. This puzzle must be solved. Having the right tools and right understanding about combating gum disease is crucial to your success.</p>
<p>At the bottom of this article, you will find links that can greatly enhance the quality of your life and oral health.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80">As with most of these website offers, yours is bogus as well and designed to drive someone to the point of giving up.</font></p>]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I received this from someone. This was a bit irritating.</p>
<p>But it happens every so often. This is what happens when we get frustrated and don&#8217;t understand the situation:</p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80">As with most of these website offers, yours is bogus as well and designed to drive someone to the point of giving up. Instead, I&#8217;ve chosen to give you some feedback. There&#8217;s is no way in hell to obtain the offer from coupon code A-PER10 as advertised on your website. It applies free shipping (big deal&#8230;&#8230;..there&#8217;s free shipping with a $99 offer normally!) and free tube of toothpaste. There&#8217;s no way to get the serum that is advertised, and my guess is that the book and other information after the product is received would never be forthcoming either. Thanks for yet another frustrating website offer experience&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..</font></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>This is my very patient reply:</p>
<p>
It seems strange that you would write this to me. The free shipping may be on 99$ orders and up but it is not on available on a 98 dollar product with this vendor. You can only get that with the coupon code or if you bought something extra to push you over the 99$ minimum.</p>
<p>The coupon code does work. And you automatically get the AktivOxigen serum in the same box your Hydro Floss comes in.</p>
<p>It clearly states on the site that you email me your receipt and in exchange I send the link to download the e-book for free.</p>
<p>I put a lot of time and effort into writing that book and it shares a whole lot of information that it is very likely your dentist never told you.</p>
<p>I could focus on the negative aspects of your email, but I choose not to do that.</p>
<p>Instead, I have written back to you clarifying the facts. If you have some further questions, you may ask.</p>
<p>Here is the reply and my follow up. A simple misunderstanding or frustration or what???</p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80">If I would automatically get the serum, why does your website add the normal price into my order? Why would I give a credit card number on an order that should be $98 according to the coupon code (including shipping, toothpaste and serum) when even after applying the coupon code the website gives the credit on the toothpaste but adds in the normal price on the serum? Would you do that? If the coupon code is legitimate, then I would expect the total cost to be $98, including the shipping, toothpaste, and serum. I would suggest that you pretend to place an order yourself, and if it works for you, then please share the &#8220;secret&#8221;, and I will be happy to place my order.</p>
<p>Thank you.</font></p>
<p>My Reply:</p>
<p>
You must have accidently added the serum to your shopping cart.</p>
<p>If you look at the actually line that says Hydro Floss on it, you will see that it says something like:</p>
<p>&#8220;Hydro Floss with Aktiv-Oxigen Serum&#8221;</p>
<p>Why don&#8217;t you try removing the Serum from your shopping cart which will also remove any additional charge?</p>
<p>
Person&#8217;s reply and the final outcome:</p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80">Yes, I&#8217;ll try that &#8211; thank you for getting back to me</font></p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80"></font><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff">Then:</font></p>
<p><font style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffff80">Thank you Dave &#8211; I obviously misjudged your website/advertising, and I apologize.  Thank you for walking me through this &#8211; I look forward to receiving all products.</font></p>
<p>
Wow &#8211; This was a strange communication in my book and speaks to how many of us, including me, tend to react when we feel we have been wronged some how.</p>
<p>Comment below if you have anything you would like to reflect about this conversation.</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Dave</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.oralirrigatordiscount.com"><img style="width: 143px; height: 115px;" src="http://tobeinformed.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/hydrofloss1-8.jpg" border="0" alt="hydrofloss[1]" hspace="15" vspace="10" width="178" height="164" align="left" title="Hydro Floss   Product Review" /></a> This product review is also about my story of fighting back against gum disease. The <a href="http://www.oralirrigatordiscount.com">Hydro Floss</a> was the first tool that I found to actually be useful in that struggle.</p>
<p>It helped my gums to stop bleeding. But it wasn&#8217;t just about bleeding gums which are more or less indicative of gum disease.</p>
<p>You see, for years my gums would bleed while the hygienist was cleaning them. I didn&#8217;t know any better. I thought it was normal and I didn&#8217;t think much of it. I wasn&#8217;t told any different and obviously I wasn&#8217;t told what to do about it.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You see, a root scaling and planing isn&#8217;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&#8217;t like the sound of that.</p>
<p>To make matters worse, I was told that I had to sign a waiver that stated if I didn&#8217;t get this cleaning done, they wouldn&#8217;t be responsible if I lost my teeth. At this point, I was a little bewildered. I wondered why there wasn&#8217;t any warning of this given to me in the past.</p>
<p>I didn&#8217;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.</p>
<p>I searched and searched and decided that I would try the Hydro Floss.</p>
<p>The Hydro Floss is an interesting device that uses magnets. A <a href="http://tobeinformed.com/228/study-on-the-hydro-floss-indicates-effectiveness/">Journal of Periodontology study</a> had shown good results with the Hydro Floss.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Hydro Floss has turned out to be an indispensable part of my oral care routine. I still use it on a daily basis.</p>
<p>After about five months of using the Hydro Floss, I went back to the dentist for my regularly scheduled cleaning.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Of course, I&#8217;m absolutely delighted by the results.  I didn&#8217;t have to get that root scaling and planing treatment after all.</p>
<p>That is my story about utilizing the Hydro Floss. I&#8217;m glad that I found it and I still use it daily and plan to continue using it on a daily basis.</p>
<p>I would want another one if something happened to mine. Fortunately, they appear to be of very sturdy construction. I&#8217;ve had mine for two years and it is still going strong.</p>
<p>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.<br />
I think this is a good tool to have for many reasons. It&#8217;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.</p>
<p>One unit comes with 4 tips, so a single Hydro Floss can be used by the whole family.</p>
<p><strong>Hey, it stopped my gums from bleeding!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>My Dentist Told me NOT to get a Hydrofloss.</strong></p>
<p align="left">I was told that I was going to need a &#8216;root scaling and planing&#8217; by my hygienist and dentist.  I couldn&#8217;t believe what I was hearing.  They said I had tarter buildup under the gum line.</p>
<p>They said I had <em>gingivitis</em> and possibly <strong>moderate </strong>periodontal disease</p>
<p align="left">But let&#8217;s get something straight right from the start, <strong>I did buy a hydrofloss. </strong> And I&#8217;m glad I did. Read on to find out why. </p>
<p align="center"><img height="225" alt="hydrofloss[1] Hydrofloss   My Dentist Told Me NOT to Buy One" src="http://tobeinformed.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/hydrofloss[1].jpg" width="225" title="Hydrofloss   My Dentist Told Me NOT to Buy One" /></p>
<p>But I always took good care of my teeth, I silently protested to myself.</p>
<p>I did everything I was supposed too. I brushed many more times a day than recommended and I flossed virtually daily.</p>
<p>Then they told me what an &#8216;under the gum&#8217; cleaning was and what it entailed.  They want use an anesthetic to kill the pain and then use a metal instrument to get underneath the gum and scrape the neck of tooth all the way to the root. </p>
<p>I thought to myself, &#8220;that cannot be good for my gums&#8221;.  If anything it seemed to me they would do more damage than good. </p>
<p>Worse &#8211; They wanted to get started right away!. </p>
<p>Fortunately, I have enough experience and wisdom to know that it isn&#8217;t always wise to do something spur of the moment, especially something like this.</p>
<p>I told them I needed to think it over and do some research.</p>
<p>That turned out to be one of the wiser moments of my life.  </p>
<p>I went home and researched the snot out of gum disease and this &#8216;root scaling and planing&#8217; stuff.</p>
<p>Everything out there seemed to indicate that I needed to get this &#8216;root scaling and planing&#8217; done and that it was no big deal.  But &#8211; I was still incredibly skeptical. </p>
<p>So I started asking around.  And you know what?  I found out that a lot of people are having this treatment done, including my own sister!</p>
<p>She told me that she felt that it made her gums WORSE!.  She didn&#8217;t seem happy about it at all. Seems like dentists across the nation are pushing this kind of treatment recently.  I didn&#8217;t like that.</p>
<p>Ok, so this left me with a dilemma &#8211; The dentist even told me that if we didn&#8217;t do something that I could lose my teeth! </p>
<p>I wasn&#8217;t about to let that fly.  No Way am I going to lose my teeth.</p>
<p>But I wasn&#8217;t going for this &#8216;root scaling and planing&#8217; stuff either.</p>
<p>I dug deeper in my research. Little by little the truth seemed to emerge.</p>
<p>It is no longer any surprise to me that people get gingivitis  and periodontal disease.</p>
<p>It seems that dentistry has known for a while that it is important to wash the neck of the teeth. (the place where the gums visibly meet the teeth. It looks like the neckline of a shirt) But for some reason they don&#8217;t tell us that.  And for the majority of people, not doing this leads to gum disease.</p>
<p>Busted.</p>
<p>I think it might be a lot like tires that never wear out for the life of the car or a carburetor that get 120 miles to the gallon.  We have the technology but creating such products would hurt the bottom line of certain industries.</p>
<p>Shoot, I bet that a lot of dentists don&#8217;t even know the truth!</p>
<p>Anyway, I was looking to find out what I could do to <strong><em>save my teeth and restore the health of my gums</em></strong>.</p>
<p>I stumbled across this:</p>
<p><img height="90" alt="hydrofloss[1] 1 Hydrofloss   My Dentist Told Me NOT to Buy One" src="http://tobeinformed.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2006/10/hydrofloss[1]-1.jpg" width="90" align="left" title="Hydrofloss   My Dentist Told Me NOT to Buy One" />They Hydrofloss &#8211; Your friend! </p>
<p>Your personal tooth and gum redeemer! </p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>I called my dentist, she told me <strong>NOT</strong> to get one, that I didn&#8217;t need it, and to save my money on a cheaper product.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;d done enough research to know that I shouldn&#8217;t always blindly take the advice of &#8216;professionals&#8217; in any field. </p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t listen.  I got the Hydrofloss.  I used it.  I loved it.</p>
<p>And most importantly of all,</p>
<p><strong>IT GOT RESULTS!</strong></p>
<p>When I went back to my dentist and hygienist six months later they were impressed.  It seems they believed I no longer needed the root scaling and planing and that the tarter buildup was NO LONGER below the gum line.</p>
<p>My dentist even said, &#8220;keep it up&#8221;.  Meaning that I should keep taking care of my teeth and gums with the Hydrofloss.</p>
<p>But did my dentist apologize for telling me not to get the Hydrofloss?  NOT.  </p>
<p>Interestingly enough she didn&#8217;t care that she told me not to get one.  But if I hadn&#8217;t gone ahead and bought the Hydrofloss against her advice, I may not have experienced healthier gums.</p>
<p><strong>But  even if you buy or have bought a Hydrofloss, do you know how to use one?</strong></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve had my Hydrofloss for a long time now and I&#8217;ve learned a lot of tips and tricks on how to use it.</p>
<p>And remember &#8211; I was on a mission to SAVE MY TEETH.</p>
<p>So I focused in with laser like intensity on how to use the Hydrofloss to keep my teeth and save my gums!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong, the directions that come with Hydrofloss are good, but I don&#8217;t think they are as good as what I&#8217;ve come up with.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve put a lot of time into learning how to use the Hydrofloss to get the maximum benefits. </p>
<p>And I know what other tools to use in conjunction with the Hydrofloss to get the maximum benefit with the least amount of effort. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m putting all of this knowledge into a report that you can have for <strong>FREE.</strong></p>
<p>Here is  how you get my free report along with your very own Hydrofloss.</p>
<p>1. Click on the Link Below.</p>
<p>2. Order the Hydrofloss</p>

<p>It&#8217;s that simple.  But don&#8217;t delay, do it right now, because your teeth and gums need this and you know it.</p>
<p>I know how it is, I&#8217;ve procrastinated so many times it isn&#8217;t funny. But this is serious and you need to get over the procrastination hump and do the right thing for your teeth and gums.</p>

<p>The sonicare is an important part of caring for my teeth and gums.  The sonic vibration is useful for breaking up plaque and debris that adhere to the teeth.  This is a particular problem around the gum line. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Dentistry &#8211; The Potential for Abuse  </strong></p>
<p>Just like any profession, the potential for abuse exists in dentistry. Being armed with a little knowledge can save you monetary expenses and unnecessary physical pain. I&#8217;m going to share with you some experiences I have had with dentists to help make you aware of some of the potential abuses to watch out for. </p>
<p>While I was in the Navy, I had an unfortunate experience. I was about 20 years old at the time, perhaps younger. I went in for a dental check up and was told that I had some gum loss around the area of a particular tooth. The dentist said that he could do what was called a gum graft. </p>
<p>The gum graft consisted of removing a section of gum tissue from a &#8216;good&#8217; area and flapping it over the area of gum loss with the hope that it will fuse to the gum tissue and tooth in the receiving area and eliminate the gum recession there. </p>
<p><!--adsense#Big--></p>
<p>I was told the gum graft did not take when I returned after the surgery. The dentist was eager to &#8216;try again&#8217;. Fortunately for me, I declined. Later the assistant let it slip out that the dentist had just learned this procedure. </p>
<p>I realized that this doctor was actually experimenting on me. There was no emergency or crises here and my tooth and gum line have continued to survive many years since with no problems whatsoever. And there were no cosmetic problems with the affected area either. </p>
<p>So what was going on here? It seems to me that this dentist saw a young, healthy candidate for him to practice on. That is why he was so eager to &#8216;try again&#8217;. There are so many things wrong with this scenario. He didn&#8217;t have the proper experience to be doing this kind of procedure without supervision from someone who was accomplished in it. Yet, he never disclosed the fact that he had just learned this procedure to me.  </p>
<p>I&#8217;m so happy that his assistant was able to level with me. I think she realized what was happening too, saw my distress and the fact that I was unwilling to &#8216;try again&#8217;. This also taught me a valuable lesson: licensed professionals can&#8217;t always be trusted to adhere to the highest ethical standards. </p>
<p>Later, after I left the military, I went to visit a dentist who had taken care of me as a child. When I went in for the checkup, I told this gentleman that I was experiencing some pain from a particular tooth. It was an on again, off again type pain. He looked at the tooth for a total of about 5 seconds. He said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t really see anything wrong, we could do a root canal.&#8221; I had just enough sense to know that a root canal is fairly serious. Fortunately, I declined. </p>
<p>I later learned that it is sometimes normal to experience temporary pain from your teeth. This pain in many cases disappears without treatment of any kind whatsoever. And that is exactly what happened, the pain went away after a few days, never to return. </p>
<p>Had I allowed him to treat me, it would have cost either me or the insurance industry an expense that was unnecessary. Furthermore, he would have dug out the root of my tooth, which is what a root canal essentially is. What this means is that the tooth dies. It no longer receives what it needs to survive and it dies. The dead tooth will eventually turn brown, which is why they must put a dental crown over the tooth.  </p>
<p>Recently, I had another experience. I visited my dentist for a routine check up. She took her dental instrument and found a &#8220;sticky&#8217; area, she jammed her instrument up there and dug around a bit. This didn&#8217;t hurt at all because essentially there was no problem. But she wanted to, &#8220;open it up and make sure there was nothing wrong in there&#8221;. </p>
<p>I felt that something was amiss at this point and I declined treatment. But I asked her some questions and as I did so, she began talking faster. Then she finally let it slip that there are two kinds of possibilities, reversible pulpitis and irreversible pulpitis. This sounded an additional warning in my mind. Reversible to me means that it could go away without treatment. When I returned home I looked up reversible pulpitis and sure enough, the prognosis is good without treatment. </p>
<p>At the end of my cleaning she reiterated that her &#8216;recommendation&#8217; was to, &#8220;open it up and see how deep the problem goes&#8221;. She tried to scare me a little with some talk about little pinpoint problems going all the way into the tooth and sometimes you don&#8217;t feel anything. She said that by that time it is &#8216;too late&#8217;. Then she said that, &#8220;we believe in preventative dentistry here&#8221;. My gut feeling was not good at this point. Six months later, another dentist told me that she saw no problem in the area. </p>
<p>I never had a problem with this dentist before and I had been with her for about 2 or 3 years. What happened? I can only speculate. At the beginning of our session, she mentioned that she was getting married in a couple of months. I suspect that she was feeling the financial pressures of the wedding and moving into a big house, honeymoon expenses, and the list goes on. I think she was trying to find creative ways to increase her income. </p>
<p>If true, it is possible that she is not the only dentist to succumb to this type of temptation. I remember a coworker of mine who said that she had gone to a dentist who found so many cavities in her mouth that it seemed odd.  Another dentist informed her that she had no cavities at all.  </p>
<p>I have been to many dentists and there are many who have used a very gentle touch when examining my teeth. This tells me that there is no reason to be forceful with a dental instrument and if you ever experience this you should be on your guard immediately. </p>
<p>In today&#8217;s world, with the ever declining moral standard, you can&#8217;t be sure about the professionals you put your trust in. Take your time when making decisions, do some research and consider consulting with a couple of other professionals in the same field but with no ties to the original person you talked to. </p>
<p>A profession has specialized knowledge which essentially puts the consumer at the mercy of the professional. They have knowledge that patients do not. This means that they could potentially take advantage of you in ways that might be a &#8216;grey&#8217; area legally, medically or ethically.  What I mean is that they could easily explain away certain choices or decisions to others in their profession or if questioned in a court of law. </p>
<p>As in the example of my experience, the dentist might say something like, &#8220;I believed I saw a problem there so I chose to take appropriate action to protect my patient&#8221;. On the surface this sounds very noble, as if she were taking good care of me, etc. But the reality is this is a grey area. However, if this is reversible pulpitis then there really is no need for her to do anything. But, she can&#8217;t &#8216;be sure&#8217; that it isn&#8217;t, so drilling into the tooth to check it out might sound plausible. </p>
<p>Not to me, this is my money and my body.  I&#8217;m not going to just say yes to a treatment without taking my time and making sure I know what is really going on. </p>
<p>Having said that, here are a few tips to consider: </p>
<p>Tooth sensitivity to cold is considered normal, tooth sensitivity to warm or hot may be cause for concern. </p>
<p>If your dentist likes to take a lot of x-rays, ask if it is really necessary. You may be surprised. You can always sign a waiver that you don&#8217;t want to be x-rayed. This protects the dentist against suits for not finding a problem. </p>
<p>However, X-rays can show problems that may not be visible from the surface. There could be an infection brewing that you can&#8217;t see with just a visual exam.  There could also be cavities between the teeth that might not be easily visible.</p>
<p>You always have the right to consult with another dentist from a completely different office that has no association with your dentist. </p>
<p>Ask your dentist if he or she thinks it might be a reversible condition that could go away without treatment.  Ask other questions too, you have a right to know and understand what is going on. If the dentist becomes impatient with your questions, consider consulting with another dentist to see if they have the same opinion. </p>
<p>Look for clues that a dentist might make unethical or grey area choices. Dental offices can be expensive, as is a dentist&#8217;s education. And many dentists may feel the need to live an above average lifestyle that must be paid for. </p>
<p>I personally like to get my teeth checked and cleaned by the dentist and hygienist every six months. Just be aware of the potential for &#8216;grey&#8217; areas. </p>
<p>I am not a dental professional and this article is not meant to prevent you from seeking dental advice or treatment. The article&#8217;s only purpose is for information. You definitely should take care of your teeth and gums and get regular checkups from your dentist. I am not against dentists or dentistry, this article is only to share my experiences and perhaps make others aware of potential problems.   If you have or think you might have a dental or health condition of any kind, seek the advice of a licensed Doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment. </p>
