Improving Dental Health and Avoiding Expensive Dental Bills May Be Easier Than You Might Think?

I have a unique position from which to comment on what may work for dental health home care. When I say, "work", I mean something that has the potential to keep gums and teeth healthy for the long haul.

The reason I have this unique view point is because I sell a particular dental tool. This tool is the primary thing that I utilize for my own dental home care. Of course, I still go to the dentist on a regular basis for a checkup. The difference now is that I get to hear that my gums are healthy, pocket depths have been minimized and they continue to stay that way. I also avoided the dreaded ‘deep cleaning’, which is also known as a Scaling and Root Planing or SRP.

I was astounded by this particular tool and I began to write about it several years ago. In fact, I mention it in my own book on gum disease. Later, I began to sell this tool directly to consumers.

What follows is shocking even though I probably should have expected it. I hear from customers on a regular basis about their own experience with this tool. On the same day that I wrote this article, a customer told me about how the very next day after his first use, he found his gums to be firmer. He said that he has never seen his gums that firm before.

Now, I am not one to make health claims and granted that there should be sound scientific studies and clinical tests to validate such things. I cannot validate what he said is true. However, I am astounded by the number of people that relate stories about this dental health device to me. This man’s story is not at all unusual – at least from my perspective.

I recently spoke to a woman who said her dentist told her she had a 70% improvement in her gum health in under two weeks of using this tool. She was facing another ‘deep cleaning’ after recently having a $3000 surgery to clean her gums up.

She had reached an end to her tolerance for these expensive procedures that did not seem to permanently solve the problem. She began looking for answers. This same type of experience is what prompted me to write a book about gum disease from the layman’s perspective.

In today’s world, actually in yesterday’s world as well – dental disease is a huge problem. Many people think they are free and clear but they are unaware of the silent minor tragedy that is growing in their mouth. Sooner or later many of them encounter the term ‘deep cleaning’ or SRP from their dentist or hygienist. Going beyond that, patients might have been told that they need teeth extracted and implants or dentures installed. In my personal case, I was told that such a ‘deep cleaning’ was the only thing that would help me.

I did not believe a ‘deep cleaning’ was the best answer for me and I started searching for answers. After several months of using the same device mentioned above, I returned to the dentist. She and the hygienist both told me that things were looking a lot better and that whatever I was doing I should keep it up and the dentist said that I no longer needed that ‘deep cleaning’ treatment after all!

I was delighted to say the least. Now, I am finding, because of my interaction with customers that many of them have similar stories to tell. I would like for everyone to know about our experiences. If more people can save their teeth and save themselves from expensive dental treatments then it was worth it to write this article.

Must Your Gums Recede When You Age?

gum disease

Do you believe that gums must recede as we age? If you do, then it might seem natural to you to lose teeth. I have known people in their late 80’s and I am surprised to see that they still have their complete set of teeth. They say that they have been very cautious when it comes to the food they intake and with proper home care.

Funny how some elderly would stick out their dentures and scare their grand children away – happy bonding time with the family, something really worth reminiscing. But do you know that there is more to life than just making the children in your family have a good time when they see you play with your dentures? Besides brushing and flossing, have you tried the hydrofloss yet? 

Perhaps you are making it appealing to them so that they tend to like the idea or at least accept that they would lose their teeth one by one. I have actually asked a child who had his first permanent molar extracted at the age of 12. Imagine how many years more he has to live without his first molar. This does not bother him as he is actually enjoying the idea that he may soon wear dentures. Wouldn’t it be better to use a mouthwash like therabreath?

Some patients sound weird as they talk to the receptionist that they are having several incisors extracted due to little discolorations. I thought to myself, I am so fortunate to have mine complete never having to undergo multiple extractions and never ever considering having one. Essential oils, like those in Oramd may be helpful. 

And I realized that the greatest secret of the successful ones is that they meticulously cared for their teeth throughout their lifetime. You don’t have to lose your teeth as you grow old. Gum recession does not have to be part of the aging process.
