Oral Irrigation Can Save Your Dental Health…

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

HydroFlossCI find it to be surprising the number of people I hear from and the benefits they get from oral irrigation. However, these folks are not just using any old oral irrigator.

Irrigators are not all created equal. Some have a special technology that allows them to reduce more plaque build up than others.

The principle behind reducing plaque is very simple. Actually, reducing it isn’t actually the goal, although reducing it does help.

You see, plaque is a very mundane term for something that is a bit more insidious when explained. Plaque is a alive! It is a living biofilm made up of a number of substances, the worst for us being bacteria.

The plaque creates a problem for us human beings. Since it is a film, it produces a more or less airtight space. It is in this space that something terrible happens. Some bacteria, when they do not have oxygen, revert to a form of metabolism called ‘anaerobic’.

This form of metabolism is harmful to the human host because of the toxic byproducts that come from it. These acidic, toxic substances can harm our dental enamel and our gum tissue.

This explains the reason why you have been told to brush and floss daily. Trouble is, that may not be enough. The proof is in what dental health care professional and public health workers know. Statistics say that up to 75% of people have some form of gum disease in their mouth right now!

It is staggering when you think about it. Most people brush, fewer floss, but even if you do both, you may still be headed for trouble.

Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and researchers suspect that it can lead to many systemic diseases such as heart attacks and stroke.

Interesting Story Involving the Hydro Floss…

Friday, December 11th, 2009

This is the story of an interesting call that I received. I

I’ve been selling the Hydro Floss at the Toothy Grins Store for a few months and I receive a call from a man in Michigan. He just heard about the Hydro Floss from his dental hygienist a few days prior.

However, the REALLY interesting part is that this gentleman works in public health! He said he has two good friends that he went to college with. One is an oral surgeon and the other is a periodontist.

After he brought up the Hydro Floss to them. They both said they personally use it. I thought that was interesting and telling all by itself.

But what he said next really got me thinking. He said that the oral surgeon also uses the Pocket Pal Jet Tips as a PREVENTIVE measure to protect her gum health!

I thought I would share that interesting tidbit because I think it reveals a new secret to using the hydro floss that many have not thought of.

Why Don’t You Just Go To Dental School?

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

A person wrote to me recently and seemed to be berating me for not being a dentist because I talk a lot about dental health. He questioned the quality of my book – which it appears he has never read.

He asked me, “Why don’t you just go to dental school”?

So I thought I would address that question a bit, because it looks like now and in the future, there will be people who will want to know who I am and what I’m about.

I hope this will help to shed light on it:

I learned the basic life sciences as a chiropractic student. However, I’m not a chiropractor. You could say that I’m a chiropractic school drop out. I don’t mind…

I’m not licensed or credentialed in any way, shape, or form and I have never claimed to be nor would I dare to claim any title or credential that I’m not entitled too. I do not put letters after my name. I’m a layman with his own mind and proud of it.

I left chiropractic school with perhaps 1.5 to 2 years left before graduation. I was the student body president at the time. I left for a variety of reasons. One reason was that I was disturbed by my peers and what they really cared about – making money and getting through school. They weren’t focused on patient care and health. Many of my teachers did not have my respect either – though some certainly did.

Because of my background in the life sciences, I was able to recognize that my dentist was not acting in my best interest.

I started doing my own personal investigation and I realized that there is a lot of information that many professionals don’t bother to tell their patients. Perhaps they are unaware themselves? In either case, the net effect is the same.

She could have told me about things like the Hydro Floss , xylitol and other lower cost alternatives to her expensive treatment that probably would have needed to be repeated later.

[I have to add that I respect professionals in all fields. I would like to work in the spirit or cooperation with ethical and caring professionals. No matter what sampling of the population you take, there are good and bad people - that is unavoidable.]

My book is excellent and quality. A periodontist, a dentist, two medical doctors, and a dental hygienist have seen fit to endorse my book.

There are many ways that professionals are restricted. Some is financial, some is by peer pressure. Then there are peer review boards, state boards and other governing bodies. The fear of blacklisting looms large over many scientific and medical researchers.

Some professionals have dared to come out with greater truths about various health related things- but very few when you consider the total numbers. Many others simply want a big paycheck and that is their focus.

I’m over 40 and I do not wish to go back to school at this point. The cost is expensive and locks you in to the need to open a practice and make money the same way most professionals in these fields do. There is nothing wrong with that. What I’m currently doing is different from that.

I will say that whatever you are doing and whoever you are and in whatever field you are operating within – if you don’t value the best interest of your client, patient, or other people in general, then perhaps there is a problem. Looking inside yourself is the only way you will find the right answers to that. Only you can police what you really think and do. No one else can effectively do that.

I hope that answers your question?

Comment on Band 2 and 3 treatment:

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

This is a comment to the post on Heena Modi’s blog:

http://www.heenamodi.com/2008/04/10/what-to-expect-from-your-dentist-before-you-are-treated/

While the post is informative and Heena appears to have covered the basic facts, there is something missing.

And it is just not this blog post but many and it is a reflection of the lack of awareness about dental health that is out there.

‘Prevention is worth more than a pound of cure’ is the saying that is apropos here. I hope that the public can start to become aware that prevention of dental disease is where it is at!

You can save yourself from expensive painful and costly treatments with a bit of prevention at home. And I’m not necessarily talking about regular brushing and flossing either!

Just thought I’d ad my 2 cents!

Lynn’s View of the HydroFloss and My Work…

Wednesday, July 8th, 2009

David,

I went to the periodontist and he wanted to do laser surgery. I purchased the hydrofloss along with the mouthwash and toothpaste from Dr. Katz. My gums look good and feel great. (My gums never were red or swollen and they did not bleed, that is why I was dubious about the surgery).

Of course I was not going to have the surgery because I heard from another dentist that it could cause more damage than what it is worth.

I called my perodontics office and ask if there was an alternative to sugery. They told me that if my pockets were more that 3 mm that I could not clean the pockets myself. I would need a dental hygienist to clean them every 3 months and that my pockets probably would not get any smaller but the hygienist could keep them much cleaner than I could.

They did not tell me about the hydrofloss but I heard it from a friend of mine who is a dental hygienist. That is how I learned about you.

Isn’t it strange they don’t want to tell you about using the hydrofloss?

I’m using the hydrofloss and it works great. I believe my pockets are much smaller and I am going to keep track of the sizes when I get my teeth cleaned next week.

Thanks for all the information about gum disease.

Lynn [last name omitted for confidentiality]

 

Response: Thanks Lynn! I dare to say that you are right on with this experience. Thank you for sharing. I hope that other’s can learn and benefit from what you have shared.

Monday, May 18th, 2009

book[2]I know a lot of people are confused about gum disease and what it is, let alone how to stop it. I’m a big believer that what you know about gum disease is far more important than the products you use to combat it. A little knowledge can help you to understand and defeat gum disease. This is my attempt to help ease the burden and the learning curve for you.

Hi Dave,

He also said wait for it my gums were as healthy as a teenagers! Praise indeed. He was impressed with the hydro floss and said he will be recommending to his clients. I think I should be on commission for them I think I have got at least 10 people to buy one!ha ha thanks again.

Rhonda

Hi David,

I read your literature, took your advice and had the BEST dental checkup today in years! There was some pain during the cleaning but nothing like it had been. I could tolerate the whole process much better. The dental hygienist was very impressed with my home care. My gums weren’t inflamed like they had been. Usually when the hygienist checked the pocket depths, it felt like she was shoving straight pins into my gums. There were just a few areas where I still got that sensation…

…I am personally convinced that they work. I don’t need anymore proof than what I have personally experienced. I really am grateful for your information. I was initially skeptical but am a true believer now. Thank you!

I want to commend you on your information. It is great and I hope it reaches out to many, many people.

Therabreath – Are They Worth It?

Therabreath – Are They Worth It?

Therabreath Coupon Codes

therabreath-coupon

This is a review of the Therabreath product line. I have personally used them and find them to be quite good.

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.

Many of the therabreath products come in various forms such as mouthwash, gum and toothpaste. I’ve used the Perio-Therapy mouthwash and toothpastes as well as the AktivOxigen Serum. Specifically, I like to put the AktivOxigen drops into my hydrofloss (an oral irrigator) before irrigating my teeth and gums.

This practice seems to have been very beneficial. This is, of course, a subjective observation, but still real to me.

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.

Upon using his mouthwash on himself, he showed how the reading on the halimeter was drastically reduced when he retested his own breath.

You see, when it comes to bad breath, the bacteria that cause us problems do so because they release ‘volatile sulfur compounds’. 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.

When it comes to gum disease or gingivitis, 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.

Check below for valuable coupons that can help you save when looking for Therabreath products. One of my favorite coupons is the one for the Hydro pulse sinus irrigator.

The USFDA has not evaluated statements about products in this article.
