Of course, we do. I can understand the concern. You might not be sure of what you are getting from other sites that have no specialization and no real information about the Hydro Floss.
In addition, many of those sites end up with bad reviews. The reason why is no one explains to the customers what the Hydro Floss is and what it can do for them. That's a real shame because there are probably a lot of people out there who could get really great results from their machine, but they don't know now.
It's kind of like having a high performance race car but not knowing how to drive it any differently from a Yugo or Volkswagen. All that potential is basically wasted.
Here at Toothy Grins Store, we take the time to help our customers understand how to get the most out of their Hydro Floss. Without this understanding they cannot get the best performance.
The goal is to improve your dental health. Without the right understandings or knowledge, that is hard to pull off. That's the reason you see bad reviews on other sites - in my opinion. The reviews on our site tend to be positive.
Our customers tend to know how to get the most out of their machines.
Yes, we have brand new Hydro Floss Oral Irrigators, you can check them out here. Oh, and they are real Hydro Floss machines too. They are not imitations or knock offs. You can be sure that you are getting real genuine Hydro Floss machines from us.
The Hydro Floss oral irrigatoris one of the most powerful tools, in my opinion, for the promotion of dental health at home.
Peer reviewed, journaled studies have shown it to be about twice as effective as an irrigator that does not have its patented magnetic technology. These studies were published in the prestigious Journal of Clinical Periodontology in may of 1993 and again in April of 1998.
Why that is important to you is because reducing the plaque and tartar build up between your regular office cleanings is key to protecting your tooth and gum health.
Bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease like to hide under the plaque and tartar. When they are shielded from oxygen (which is the reason they create plaque and tartar) is to shield themselves from oxygen.
Once that happens, they begin to use a form of metabolism that secretes acid waste byproducts. These byproducts or 'waste' products attack your gum tissue and your teeth. This can lead to cavities and gum disease.
Since dental professionals commonly tell us that about 75% of people have gum disease today, it is important to understand the advantages that the Hydro Floss can provide you - even over other brands of oral irrigators.
Since gum disease is the number one reason people lose teeth and need dentures and implants, it only make sense that you will want to fully understand what the Hydro Floss can do for you.
It's easy to understand and quick to use. I even wrote a free guide on this machine called : How To Stop Gum Disease In 4 Easy Steps. - You can get your copy here.

This irrigator is made for travel. It is small and compact and runs from two AA batteries.
However, there is a drawback. The chamber that holds the water, as you will see in the video below, is a bit small.
If you don't mind refilling it a few times to do an adequate irrigation job, then that would be no problem for you. But, if you are not sure you want to do that, this might not be the right irrigator for you.
Of course, in order to be 'portable' it needs to have a small chamber. You are likely to run into the same problem with other portables too.
The nice thing is the battery chamber. You can use a small coin to open the twist part and the two batteries go inside that chamber. No need to worry about chargers or power cords!
Not As Powerful As This:
Of course, this little baby is not as powerful as the hydro floss and it also lacks the hydromagnetic qualities that the hydro floss offers. But, for a short trip, it is much better than nothing at all.
I did hear form a Hydro Floss customer once who told me that she wanted to travel with her Hydro Floss. She travels a lot as a bank VP. Once she found out how the Hydro Floss improved her dental health, she didnot want to be without it.
Her Solution?
She told me that she kept the original packaging that the Hydro Floss came in. That packaging encases the Hydro Floss in a nice protective snugly fitting dress of Styrofoam. She said that it protects her Hydro Floss nicely and she is happy to travel with it.
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.
