The Power of Water-Benefits of Oral Irrigation

Water is . . . Unconstrained, Uninhibited, Free to Move, Free to Form, Essential for Life, Cleansing, Refreshing, Pure, Dilutes, Rinses. Disrupts, Cleans, Dislodges, Flushes, Removes Toxins, Pollutants and Microbes.
The benefits of oral irrigation are numerous, but unfortunately
have been unknown to most. So what do we know ? Most folks brush and clean their teeth . . . but what about cleaning the gums ? what about the tongue ? The focus that we have given to our teeth has been towards those that are most visible. We'll typically brush in the back quadrants of the mouth until we taste our minty fresh toothpaste . . maybe, hopefully . . for 5 seconds.
Oral irrigation will "fill in the gap" of our home dental care. Brushing and Flossing are necessary, Oral Irrigation will complete the cleaning job.

Water is unconstrained in the fact that it will saturate and clean in the tightest of areas.
It will reach beyond that of the bristles of a toothbrush, and the reach of dental floss.
Water can and will reach subgingivally; even deep enough to reach the areas of infection caused by bacteria. Water is Free to Move and Free to Form in those commonly "overlooked" areas of the mouth. A toothbrush and dental floss is great to disrupt plaque, but not as sufficent to remove it. Follow this up with oral irrigation and the remaining plaque will experience further disruption, and also be diluted, then it will be gently flushed and rinsed from the mouth. This is a removal of food debris, toxins, pollutants and microbes (bacteria).

Not only is this benefical to one's oral health, but also to one's overall health. The mouth is the main portal of entry for sickness and disease; so by keeping the mouth clean, we are reducing our chances of becoming sick, along with the reduction of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease.
Here are a few signals to look for to determine whether you are successfully cleaning your teeth, gums, tongue and mouth. The first and most obvious is the smell of your breath . . that's right, (hold your hand up to your mouth, breath into it, then smell . . if that doesn't help, take note of the people you talk to and watch their expressions as you talk, if their nose scrunches up and they start gasping for air, that probably is a confirmation that you have bad breath) and secondly is the taste in your mouth, thirdly is how your teeth feel when you rub your tongue over them.
A major deception for us all is our minty flavored toothpaste. There's some great tasting stuff out there, but over a short period of time that flavor intensity fades away. Keep this in mind while you brush, and brush longer (2 minutes . . can you do it? . . sure you can). You can rest assure by following up with oral irrigation, that your mouth can and will be cleaner. Take note that flavored toothpaste and minty mouthwash will only mask and temporarly cover bad breath. Bad breath is primarily caused by toxins produced by bacterial plaque. So to remove this bacterial plaque will eliminate the cause of most bad breath.

So consider adding a Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator to your home care regimen, you'll feel and see the difference. The Hydro Floss is a professional grade medical device, Swiss designed and engineered, utilizing Magnetic HydroDynamics that has increased the benefits of oral irrigation by 50%.

Best to You, Steve
