She was wondering what to do because she was always being told that she needed expensive treatments.
1. Two SRPs in the last 4 years. She said they did nothing to change her periodontal pocket depths. SRP treatments often cost $1500 but can cost more. (in the US)
2. Now she is being told she needs laser surgery $5000
3. She was also told that she needed two teeth pulled and implants installed. - another $5000
She felt that something wasn't quite right.
Note: You should always be under the care of a dentist or periodontist. But, you do have the right to go get a second or third opinion. You also have the right to 'fire' your current dentist and get another one if that is what it takes.
So, anyway, she was reading about the Hydro Floss.
She understood the importance of the periodontal pocket depths and of getting those pocket depth readings down to 3mm or below.
No one can guarantee that it will work for every single person. Nothing works 100% of the time for 100% of the people.
BUT: You can find out relatively quickly if it will work for you.
How?
Then go back to your dentist to get your pocket depths measured again. Have they gotten better? Then perhaps you are headed in the right direction.
Have they all moved to 3mm or less? Fantastic! You did it. Keep it up to help maintain your periodontal health.
Hopefully, your doctor or hygienist will be excited about your progress. If they are not excited, you might consider getting a new one! They should be very happy to see your gums get healthy again.
Generally speaking, most dental health professionals will consider your gums healthy, when you get those pockets to 3mm and below.
It's always important to keep getting your regular cleanings and check ups at your dentists office. Keep on using your Hydro Floss.
She ended up going with the Hydro Floss and Pocket Pal combo that you can see here.
