HydroFloss Is Different Than A Water Pik

The HydroFloss is Not A Water Pik

Most of my customers are well informed about what a Hydro Floss is and how it is different from a Water Pik (or any other brand of oral irrigator).   Many get the Hydro Floss on the recommendation of their friend or their doctor.

In the case of a friend, it is usually someone who discovered that using the Hydro Floss helped their dental health to improve.   They realize it is saving them money over the long haul by reducing the need for expensive treatments.   Dentists recommend it because they also know that it has a positive affect on periodontal (gum tissue) health.

Since 75% of people, according to dental professionals, have some gum disease,  this becomes ever more important.   Dentists and hygienists are on the front line, they see periodontal issues all the time, probably every day or multiple times per day!

Limit On Pressure

The HydroFloss is limited to 60 PSI an amount that is considered safe for gum tissue.   However, many other brands of oral irrigators go as much as 50% higher.   I've used the HydroFloss for many years now and believe me, the pressure is plenty strong enough.   You don't need more and it is better to be safe than sorry.   The reason the Hydro Floss works so well is: 

The Magnet

The Power of the Hydrofloss comes from its magnet.   The magnet places a charge on minerals that make it easier to reduce plaque and bacteria.    Researchers found that this magnet resulted in a significant reduction of plaque and tartar build up between office visits, when compared with other brands of irrigators.

If it matters to you, this was documented twice in a professional, peer review journal called: The Journal of Clinical Periodontology.  

Why I Bring This Up

As I mentioned before, most customers do understand why the HydroFloss is important to them because they have read the information about it in depth or they have a personal experience or their doctor recommended to them.

I do occasionally run into a customer who doesn't know the difference.   I do not have the heart to say anything negative.   I only bring up this topic because I do occasionally run into a customer who doesn't understand and I would like more people to be aware.

My most recent experience was with a customer who bought a hydrofloss because the man who sits next to him and his wife for all the basketball games (they have season tickets) told them how great the Hydro Floss was.   The wife decided to buy a Hydro Floss.

The man called me and mentioned that he wanted to return the Hydro Floss because they did not realize it was 'like a water pik'.   "Well, sir, it is really not like ... "

I hope by now, you understand why it is not 'like a Water Pik'.   I'm not putting any brands down here.  I am only explaining that there is a difference.    In fact, we may start carrying Water Pik for those customers that really want them.   But I digress...

This post is about the Hydro Floss,  if you want to know more about it, I have put a lot of information on this page. 

I respect all brands.  I am just explaining the differences here between a HydroFloss and other Oral Irrigators.    It seems that many people think of a single brand when they think of an oral irrigator and that brand happens to be Water Pik - which is a credit to their long standing in the marketplace.

In case you are wondering, I still use a Hydro Floss daily and intend to keep on doing so.  

If you are still not clear on the differences,  read this page or call me at 1-888-586-6849 .  You can also read about the customer reviews.

Imagine This Scenario

I can imagine the first time a person hears they have gum disease.   Generally, they are completely taken off guard and the response is usually something like: "What Are You Talking About"?  Or:
I have always taken good care of my teeth.

To make matters worse, the person usually hears this in conjunction with being told that an expensive surgery or treatment is needed.   This can be very irritating to a person.

It kind of makes you wonder:  "How did this happen all of the sudden"?   Most of the time, it did not happen all of the sudden.  Usually it progresses for a long period of time before you are told that you need an expensive treatment.

You may then wonder:  "Why wasn't I told about this before"?   That is a very intelligent question.  I don't want to say too much about that.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.

What Is Gum Disease?

It is a problem that affects somewhere between 40 - 80% of people, depending on who you listen to.  Generally, in my experience, most dental professionals will quote 75%  as being the number of people who have some form of gum disease.

BTW, you can be six years old and have gum disease.   Many people believe this problem is reserved for older adults.  That is not really the case.  Instead, the damage becomes more obvious over time.

Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss.  Replacing teeth usually costs a good bit of cash.

Prevention And Mitigation

Perhaps it is better to learn more about this problem and what can be done about it?
Prevention is worth a lot.   But what is prevention?  Many people say brushing and flossing is prevention.  That is true.  But it isn't enough for most people.  If it were, would 75% of people be walking around with this problem?

Mitigation is stopping an existing problem in its tracks and then returning your gums to a healthier state.   The erosion of your gums and the bones that support them is the progression of the disease.

When enough supporting tissue (flesh and bone) is destroyed / lost, the tooth becomes loose and can even fall out or be removed.   Expensive?

Imagine what it would be like if you had a good understanding of this problem and what you can do to stop it.  Now imagine if you could help your friends and family members to have a better understanding to the point where they might save their own teeth.    Is there value in that?

I suspect there might be some value there.   What do you think?

Gum Disease is a Serious Problem For Too Many People

Unfortunately,  too many people suffer from this problem.   Equally unfortunate:  Most of those people do not know they have it!

Since many people do not believe or think they have this problem, they naturally do not do anything about it.   This might lead to gum recession and tooth loss.

Gum disease is considered to be the number one cause of tooth loss.   Replacements, such as implants are quite expensive.  Implants don't always work the first time.  This requires a waiting period and a second try.

The costs are high and who knows what the pain and recovery factors are.   I would prefer to keep my own natural teeth than find out.  You?

Brushing and Flossing

 These are certainly a good idea and should be done daily or at your dentist's recommendation.   However, are brushing and flossing enough?

For some people, they may be all that is needed and they may never develop gum disease.   However, it is a mistake to think that people who have gum disease don't 'take care of their teeth', because that isn't necessarily the truth.

Of course, not brushing and flossing is probably going to help a problem develop.   However, as stated before, dental pros tell us that  75% of people seem to have some gum disease.

In my way of thinking, this says that brushing and flossing are not enough for all people to remain safe from gum disease.  Therefore, while important, they may not be the answer for the majority.

I say that because a lot of people think that if a person has gum disease it means they do not take care of their teeth.    In reality, a person can brush and floss 'religiously' and still develop gum disease.

Don't be fooled by that simple mentality, the problem of gum disease can be a bit more complicated - but not too much so.

Fear of Going To The Dentist

Many people are afraid to go to the dentist and this is a fear that must be overcome.   On the other hand, it is very important to find a 'good' dentist.  That would be one that actually cares about you and is not willing to charge you for unnecessary treatments or diagnostics.

Unfortunately, we live in age where many people just routinely take advantage of others.  They think that is 'normal', but it is not.   It is a very perverse mentality.

I think people should be under the care of a good doctor and get their teeth cleaned on a routine and regular basis.   There is, in my opinion, real value in regular office cleanings.

But again, it is imperative that you find a good doctor.   Fear is not necessarily unfounded.  Finding a doctor that has a high moral standard is very important.

Unnecessary work can be irritating, painful and very costly.  You need a doctor you can trust.   I do believe it is not so easy to find such doctors today.  But, I do believe they are out there.

I have indeed heard a number of horror stories over the years and I have my own bad experiences with some 'professionals' as well.

What You Do At Home Is Important

While it is very important to be under the care of a good and honest doctor, it is also important to focus on what you do at home.  Every good dental practitioner will agree that the greatest positive or negative effect on your dental health, under normal circumstances, has a great deal to do with your home care.

This is because the plaque or biofilm that house the 'bad' bacteria must be mechanically disrupted daily in order to stay ahead of any problems.   You can only see your dentist a few times a year and certainly not every day.   Therefore, what you do at home is extremely important.

If brushing and flossing every day where ALL that was needed for everyone, then you wouldn't see so many people with gum disease.  That is a clue and something to think about.

I speak in general terms only.  Specific questions about your unique dental health situation should be directed to your dental health provider of choice.

I Wrote This Book For a Reason

One reason I wrote this book was to let the average person know some basic things that can really save them a lot of time, money and pain down the road.   I am convinced that people just need a little bit more of an understanding.  And that little bit can make a big difference.

Personal Experience

I was once faced with an expensive treatment and was given very little time to make a decision.
I felt pressured by the dental professional who was taking care of me.

I did not like that pressure and figured there had to be some answers out there to be found.

That personal investigation paid off by saving me approximately $1600 on an expensive treatment.  The treatment in question may also have had longer term consequences such as the need for more care (which probably cost more as well) in the future.

In addition, I have read some things about that treatment that leave me with a big question mark about the possible destruction of gum tissue as well.

Keeping out teeth for a lifetime of good use is very important.

Implants Are Expensive

They cost a lot and sometimes they don't 'take' the first try.   Then you have to wait several months before 'trying' again.   If you need one of these, one tip is to find a very experienced (at least ten years) doctor.  This can increase your chances of having it work the first time around.

But, they key point is to prevent the loss of teeth in the first place.   Perhaps the information that I packed into this book will help you to do just that?
