The Reasons
Let's say you are having some periodontal issues going on. Maybe you have bleeding gums when you brush or floss your teeth and your doctor has told you that you have gum disease.
Maybe you have receding gums due to the same problem. Or maybe you are one of those people that have been told you need a '
deep cleaning' or a
SRP (scaling and root planing) treatment?
The the Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is a better choice for you - I'll explain why.
What's going on?
Gum disease is something that about 75% of people have some of. It IS a BIG problem because gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss, so you will want to get rid of it.
Don't be surprised if your doctor wants to do expensive treatments on you. What they want to do, generally speaking, is to get your periodontal pocket depths under control.
When your periodontal pockets measure above 3 millimeters, generally speaking, most dental professionals will say that your gums are unhealthy. Therefore, you want to get them to 3mm or less in all parts of your mouth. Why? Because, generally speaking again, at 3mm and less, most dental professionals will say that your gums are HEALTHY again.
In addition, any bleeding from brushing or flossing should also disappear at this point.
So, you can see what it is advantageous to get those pockets down.
For that, the
Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is definitely, in my opinion, better than the Water Pik.
Why Do I Say That?
The Hydro Floss, which uses a magnet, has been shown to be about 50% more effective at reducing plaque and tartar build up than irrigators that don't use a magnet. This is why I say the Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator is better than the WaterPik.
Reducing plaque and tartar build up is important to you because it is under the plaque and tartar that the 'bad' bacteria grow. They cause gum disease.
Reduce the plaque and tartar and you are essentially reducing the 'bad' bacteria population. The more you do that, the better off you are. The Hydro Floss is better at obtaining this goal. Perhaps you will see your periodontal pockets shrink to normal levels? It worked for me. I has worked for others. Maybe it will work for you too!
This is a simple explanation and I hope that it made sense. If not, give us a call at 888-586-6849 and we'll chat further.
