Gum Disease Facts
Gum disease is the number one reason people lose their teeth. Many people don't realize this is the truth.
The second shocking truth is that approximately 3 out of every 4 people, or 75% of people have some gum disease now.
I learned a long time ago that keeping my periodontal pockets under control is the best defense against this awful problem that has plagued mankind for thousands of years.
The one tool that I can recommend to you that has helped me to do this is the HydroFloss:
Keeping your periodontal pockets to 3mm or less is the key. When the pockets are that shallow, you may prevent the bacteria from destroying bone and flesh.
You can have your dentist or hygienist measure the pockets for you. Make them do it on every visit. This is the only objective way to know where you are at.
