Author: 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.

In the course of my daily work, I get to hear from a lot of people. The stories are often marvelous. Most of them are in relation to dental health but I also get to hear stories about peoples’ experience in overcoming other disease conditions as well.
One of the stories I recently heard was from a customer of mine. She bought a special device from me. She had a dental appointment in less than 2 weeks from the time she received the package. I was not certain that two weeks was enough time for this tool to work its magic, and she had even less than that amount of time.
The results were outstanding. She said that the hygienist told her that there was a 70% improvement in her gum health. She was absolutely delighted. This was a person who had, just a few months prior spent thousands on a dental surgery to help her gums.
Unfortunately, just a short time later, she was being told that she needed another ‘deep cleaning’ treatment. This is also known as a scaling and root planing or SRP treatment.
The first time she called me, she was very distraught over this constant ‘need’ for expensive dental work. She could not understand why she had spent so much money and continued to need even more treatments!
I understand her feelings all to well. Though I managed to avoid the first expensive treatment that was recommended, I still dread the idea of getting charged for something that ultimately is only a treatment that will very likely need to be repeated later on. This is what she found annoying too!
There are many things that can be done to improve dental health from home. In fact, if you ask any dental professional they will tell you that what you do at home has more impact on your dental health than what they do in the office.
However, as patients we are seldom told WHAT to do at home beyond simple brushing and flossing. Unfortunately, the same professionals will tell you that up to 75% of the population suffers from some form of gum disease right now! The only reasonable conclusion is that most people need more to gain and maintain their dental health than mere brushing and flossing has to offer!
We are in need of a revolution in home dental health care. Your dentist will be delighted to see the health of your gum tissue improve. Since gum disease really is the number one cause of tooth loss, you can bet that getting this area of your life under control can really help you to save your teeth and even keep them while you get older even while your friends may be getting more and more tooth replacements in the form of implants or dentures.
Having and keeping your own natural, living teeth is superior to having either implants or dentures. As the old saying goes: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"!

Dental disease, specifically those affecting the gums, is one of the most common diseases that affect virtually millions of people. There are many factors that could cause this. As opposed to what some may say about gum disease and tooth loss being only an outcome of plaque and too much intake of sugar, there are actually some other factors that may not have been well disclosed to many as well.
For instance, pregnancy can actually cause the onset of gum disease faster. This is because hormonal changes during pregnancy can create an environment where it is much easier for plaque to flourish and where the gums are more susceptible. So if you are pregnant, you may want to go ahead and see your doctor for preventive procedures as well.
On a side note, oral contraceptives are also shown to increase an individual’s susceptibility to gum disease. People who are taking medications on a regular basis are also prone to dental diseases. Medications can often dry the mouth which also allows bacteria to flourish.
If you are in the habit of grinding your teeth, it is also high time you reverse it, as grinding creates more space in between the teeth and increases the likelihood of pocket traps in the gums.
You may also be interested to know that there is now a test to determine whether you are genetically susceptible to gum disease. This is important because for those who are genetically predisposed to this condition, the amount of oral hygienic measures they take will prove useless in the long run unless other preventive measures are taken.
