Read More About The Hydro Floss
In this video, I attempt to explain why this device should be an essential piece to your home dental care.
One of the most powerful aspect of his is the peer reviewed journal documentation. This device has been shown to be more effective than irrigators that do not possess the Hydro Magnetic quality that the Hydro Floss has.
One of the objections you hear sometimes is: "Water cannot be magnetized". That is absolutely true!
It's not the water that is being magnetized. A charge is placed on the MINERALS that are in the water when they pass through the magnet.
This scientific principle goes back to the time of Michael Faraday. He demonstrated the principle originally.
Why Don't More People Know About This?
That's a mystery to me as well. Many people have obtained improvement in their periodontal health. For me personally, I was able to remove the need for a 'deep cleaning' or 'scaling and root planing' treatment.
This was verified by my dentist at that time. Previously, that dentist had told me that the SRP (deep cleaning) treatment was the ONLY thing that would help me. She was wrong as she verified herself months later.
I remember the look of utter confusion on her face as she examined me that time. After a long period of peering into my mouth, she said, "Whatever you are doing, keep it up. You don't need that treatment now."
What I found to be somewhat disturbing is that as perplexed as she was, she didn't bother to ask what exactly I was doing. You would think she would want to save her other patients from the expensive and possibly damaging treatment. But that question was never asked.
I moved on after that to another dentist. The next dentist actually taught me a little bit more about periodontal health. I started researching the topic myself after that and wrote the book: What You Should Know About Gum Disease: A Layman's Guide to Fighting Gum Disease.
You can find that book at ToothyGrinsStore.com , amazon and a variety of other online retail sites.
Cost Savings
Of course, you always want to be under the care of your dentist or periodontist. And you should ALWAYS go in for your regular checkups and cleanings.
But with this cool machine added to your at home arsenal, you have a better chance of preventing expensive problems. If I was able to reverse the problem I had, it makes sense that it has the potential to prevent the problem as well.
The cost of those deep cleanings, as far as I can tell, average around $1500 in the United States (for the whole mouth). Typically, patients need another 'deep cleaning' in 1 to 3 years.
Then there is the laser gum surgery, designed to do something similar. I think they cost around 3 to 5 thousand dollars. I don't think many people relish the thought of spending that kind of money.
There is no guarantee that the Hydro Floss will prevent these problems, but it sure worked for me. Based on the many conversations I have had with my own customers over the years, it sure sounds like it is working for others too!
We have a lot of customer reviews on this site as well. There is a link on the right side bar if you want to find them.
There is more. Gum disease is the number one cause of tooth loss known to mankind. Gum disease is responsible for more tooth loss than anything else.
An implant can cost you $2000 or more. What if you have several teeth to replace? Do you think it makes financial sense to prevent the loss of teeth via gum disease? I think the answer is clear.
Dentures can also be costly, not to mention annoying. Why have to deal with that if you can possibly avoid it.
I once met a man who told he spent $26,000 getting new teeth (implants) installed. And he is not the only person, by far, to pay that much money for a new set of teeth.
You can lose teeth for other reasons. But if gum disease is the number one reason, so it only makes sense to save yourself the expense along the way (deep cleanings and gum surgery) and also save yourself from the cost of the ultimate results of gum disease - replacing teeth with artificial things.
Does that make sense?
Have Questions?
Do you have questions on anything I've written here? Give me a call at 1-888-586-6849. ask for David if I don't answer. I'll be glad to discuss all of this and more in general terms. Of course, specific questions about your dental health should go to your dentist.
There is a saying that 'some' doctors have: Prevention doesn't pay.
I'm not saying that all doctors are like that. There are certainly good ones out there. But it is something that is said 'behind the scenes' so to speak by some.
Prevention does pay, however. It pays YOU, the patient. And especially with dental health, it is so vitally important that you pay attention to prevention.
You can help yourself to prevent cavities, gum disease, bad breath and if what they say about the connection between oral health and systemic health is true (and it probably is) - you may save yourself in many other ways too!
Dental Health Connections.
I've written plenty on this site about all of these topics. You can use the search bar at the top right to find plenty of information all over this blog and site.
`In addtion, if you want to talk about anything, give me a call. There is no obligation. So don't be shy about it.
Watch Your Periodontal Health Like A Hawk
Staying on top of your dental health doesn't just mean avoiding cavities. The bigger threat to your teeth is gum disease as I talked about before.
One of the objective measurements that dental professionals use to determine your periodontal health is your periodontal pocket depths. Generally speaking, 3mm and less is considered healthy. You can get those readings at every visit and modify what you do at home based on whether you need to do a better job or not. The Hydro Floss has the potential to help you a lot in this arena - as previously mentioned. You'll find a link to the HydroFloss in the side bar to your right.
My Book(s) Discuss the Hydro Floss
My two books,
What You Should Know About Gum Disease and
How To Stop Gum Disease In 4 Easy Steps both discuss the Hydro Floss a lot.
You know why? Because I have found this device to better than all the other products and tips out there. It seems to work the best for the most people! And that is saying a lot.
There are all kinds of products out there to make your gums healthier, but out of the ones I've utilized, it seems to be the Hydro Floss that produces the best results.
I talk to people who use electric toothbrushes all the time. Yet, they still have periodontal issues. There is nothing wrong with an electric toothbrush, but it may not be the full answer.
The reality is that people have to work to varying degrees to obtain better dental health. For some people a toothbrush and regular dental floss is enough. But for most people that is NOT the case. They need more.
Why can I say that with confidence. Simple! Dental health professionals tell us that about 75% of people have gum disease. That's three out of every four if you do the math. I'm sure that a good chunk of those 75% are brushing and flossing daily. So, this little statistic tells us that more is needed.
I hope what I'm saying sounds reasonable and sensible. I think it is so.
Sigh, despite, my hard work at helping people to understand what this machine is, I really feel that I'm under appreciated. While many people do thank me, many more seem to either miss the point entirely or just don't care.
I've often thought that it would be cool to reach more people with my message. That would mean that more people either need to come to this blog, read my books or call me for that to happen.
Well, I guess I'll just keep at it and see what happens.
Don't Be Afraid To Get A Second Opinion When Facing Expensive Dental Work
As crazy as it sounds, even dentist are aware that you will often get three very different opinions about what work you need done if you go to three different dentists. This is however, a fact that many lay people are completely unaware of.
Therefore, if you are suddenly confronted with a lot of expensive dental work, do not be afraid to go to another dentist. You don't even need to tell them what the last dentist said. Let them come to their own conclusion. You might be shocked at how different the two viewpoints are.
I think some dentists won't be happy that I wrote that. But if I didn't tell you, the reader, about this, it just wouldn't be right.
On a related note, we went to a lawyer to draw up a contract the other day. The lawyer told us it would be a VERY SIMPLE contract for her to write. Do you know that it still costs us the equivalent of over $1,000 US dollars? A simple contract?
So, you see, there are some problems in this world we live in. It's better that you are aware of them rather than burying your head in the sand.
Again, THERE ARE good dentists out there. You just have to find them and be good at filtering out those who are more interested in what is in your pocket than what is in your mouth.
I suppose if you came out of school over $200,000 in debt, you might have some temptation too, right? The time for thinking that someone who wears a white coat is far above us is long over. It was never a valid concept anyway, more like a strange myth that someone reached gigantic proportions.
Sometimes, it pays to stop and think about these things a little bit.
A Story To Share
I'll share a story with you, regarding the previous paragraphs. I was once in the chair with a dentist who did her own cleanings. There was no hygienist involved.
She was poking around inside my mouth all over the place. Suddenly, she starts pressing hard on one of my teeth. She is asking, "Does That Hurt"? The answer was no. It actually didn't hurt me one bit, but I could feel that she was pressing super hard.
I was concerned that she might damage my tooth by pressing so hard, so I pushed her arm away.
I told her that it didn't hurt at all, which was the truth, and that I didn't want her to press so hard.
She said to me, "Well, there is a sticky spot there. I think we need to drill that to see how far it goes. We practice preventive dentistry here".
This is a true story folks. I was shocked. I couldn't believe it. In retrospect, she had just finished telling me about her upcoming wedding. I wonder if there was a connection there?
Anyway, to finish the story, I left shortly thereafter and declined the secretary's attempt to get me to sign up to get my 'cavity' filled. I was so sure there was no cavity that I wasn't even concerned about it.
Six months later, I came back to the same office, but say another dentist. I asked her if there were any cavities. She said, "no".
I said, do you see what Doctor X wrote in my chart last time? She said: "Yes, but I don't see anything there."
Well there you have it. That is a true story and I tell it to you to help you understand some key points. Do ~NOT be afraid to get a second opinion when needed.
Conclusion
I hope that I was able to adequately explain why I think the Hydro Floss is better than nearly every other tool or product dreamed up to help you with your dental health.
Whether you agree with me or not, is entirely up to you. The Hydro Floss is documented to do more than other oral irrigators. There is little more to add to that.
All I can say from here is that you have plenty of resources here on this blog to check out. There are many in the sidebar to the right and you can also use the 'search\ function (top right).
