This really comes as NO surprise given the fact that I already have known for a long time that the Hydro Floss is a very special tool for home dental use.

Used correctly, often times it can help people prevent very expensive dental treatments.

I have my own experience and I hear from my customers about theirs frequently.

I am delighted that we have the Hydro Floss and I’m basically on a mission to make sure more people hear about it.

Why The Hydro Floss Is The Best Oral Irrigator

by

hydrofloss oral irrigatorI put a post up at the Toothy Grins Store blog about the Hydro Floss and I thought I would share it with you.

This really is the most powerful, in my opinion, irrigator.  Power doesn’t necessarily mean pressure.   In this case, power has to do with effectiveness.

How do you measure effectiveness?   In this case, I measure it as the machines ability to save you money, pain and expense.  This could apply to right now, in the future or both.

You owe it to yourself and your family to learn all that you can about this Machine:

The Best Oral Irrigator – With Video

Of course, anytime someone uses the word ‘best’ it comes down to a matter of opinion.

I’m going to attempt to support my opinion with information and experience.

Here Is My Personal Story About Using The Hydro Floss

I had always been a little annoyed that my gums would bleed during dental cleanings. But, I thought it was normal and no one told me otherwise for years!

Then one day the hygienist and dentist decided that I would need what was called a SRP treatment or Scaling And Root Planing.

This was a shocker for me because no one explained that I was in any real danger. Nor had that dental office spent any time educating me about gum disease, which I finally figured out was the problem.

No previous diagnosis of this from my dentist.  I wasn’t given information at all in the past, except that I should think about ‘using mouthwash’ in addition to regular brushing.

The worst part of all, they wanted to do the SRP that day! Right away, I didn’t have time to think it over.

I don’t like being pushed, which is what it felt like.

I decided to say: “No”.  After all, I could always have it done later if it was necessary.

I started doing my research and I began to understand a lot more about  gum disease.  Did you know that about 75% of people have some right now?  As in my experience, most people have no clue that they have this problem.

They won’t know until it is time for expensive dental work to be performed.  Or, when they lose a tooth.

I have talked to enough people over the last few years to know that my story is NOT  at all  unique. Many people have similar or even worse ‘wake-up calls.’

Searching For The ‘Right’ Answers

I continued looking for solutions and tried some things like essential oils, oil pulling, Vitamin C and Co-Enzyme Q-10, but nothing was really having an impact.  In fact, it seemd that some things may have made it worse.

Then one day I read about the Hydro Floss with its magnetic technology. It frankly sounded a bit strange to me at the time.

But, I figured I needed to do something, because that Scaling and Root Planing is nothing that I wanted to experience.

I used the Hydro Floss ‘religiously’ (more than I actually needed to as  I later found out) for five months!

When I went back to the same dentist she looked at my mouth and I could see the look of amazement on her face as well as that of the hygienist.

Finally, the dentist said after several minutes of staring into my mouth, “Whatever you are doing, keep it up. You don’t need that treatment anymore.”

 

The Journal of Clinical Periodontology published two studies on the Hydro Floss

The first was in May of 1993 and the second was in April of 1998. The second researcher, I have been told, intended to prove the first set of results wrong.

To her surprise, she actually obtained slightly better results than the first study.

What were those results? Simple, they showed that the Hydro Floss was about (not exactly) 50% better at reducing tartar and plaque build up between office visits than irrigators tested without the magnetic technology.

Tartar and plaque are where gum disease really gets its strength.

In scientific research a figure like 45 or 50% is considered “statistically significant”. That basically means it is outside the range where you might suspect the results were ‘accidental’ or perhaps ‘not meaningful’.

These two studies were both published in the professional journal of periodontists mentioned above.

Why Don’t You Just Go To Dental School?

by

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?

When Do You Use The Hydro Floss?

by

Question:

David,

I hope you received my last email. I did get your book and I am using the hydrofloss. It works terrific and your book is great.

I have a question. Do you brush you teeth first and then use the hydrofloss? I have been using the hydrofloss first then flossing & brushing.

Thanks again for your book.

Lynn

Answer:

Hi Lynn,

Great question. I use the Hydro Floss once, then I brush and floss and use the perio-aid and then I hydrofloss again it again…

Since brushing and flossing are for breaking up the plaque, you want that bacteria out. That is why I hydrofloss again at the end.

Once the plaque and bacteria is loosened up, you don’t want it floating around in your mouth. Therefore, I also use the hydrofloss at the end of my routine.

Hope that answered it.

David

 

Lynn’s Reply:

Thanks for replying so fast. That sounds like a good way to do it. I know my mouth feels so refreshed after using the hydrofloss.

Hi Dave,

I am doing great thanks to your book and the buying of a hydro floss plus the 3 deep cleans I had, I am completely free of gum disease my periodontist said he did not expect this kind of result and I did not even really need my last deep clean. 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.

Can the Hydro Floss Be Used with Baking Soda?

by

Dear David,

I am someone who has advanced periodontal disease and who has been getting some really good results from flooding my pockets with salt and baking soda using a dental syringe. An oral irrigator would be better for getting the salt/baking soda solution into the pockets but I have a question as to whether this kind of solution would be bad for the hydro floss oral irrigator. Do you know if it is possible to use a salt/baking soda solution in this irrigator without harming it?

I did read on a review about the hydro floss oral irrigator that a man said that he was putting hydrogen peroxide into the water and that after using the irrigator 200 times the peroxide damaged the motor. I haven’t read anything about salt and baking soda.

Thank you,
Brenda

 

Hi Brenda,

I do not think you can put baking soda into the Hydro Floss.

Instead, you could use Aktiv Oxigen compound – this will not hurt the hydrofloss as you only put 8 drops in.

Here is a link to the compound:

If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Hydromagnetics – How Does it Work?

by

Adrianne wrote:

Hi Dave,

I found your video on youtube, great info. I was wondering if you can just explain a little bit about ‘hydromagnetics’?

Thanks,
Adrianne

 

Answer:

Hi Adrianne,

What makes the Hydro Floss so valuable when compared to other irrigators is the fact that it uses hydromagnetics to achieve the goal of superior reduction of plaque build up in between office visits.

There have been two studies conducted on this efficacy in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology. Read more about one of the studies on the hydrofloss.

The way that I understand it is that there is a charge placed on the minerals in tap water when they pass by the magnet in the handle of the HydroFloss Oral Irrigator. This charge makes it easier to remove the bacteria and plaque that contribute to gum disease.

Adrianne, please let me know if that answered your question. If you want you can use the comment function below.

Thanks for asking this question, it is a good one!
