Hydro Floss Parts Vs Getting A New HydroFloss

HydroFloss parts are important if you want to save the cost of purchasing a new one. However the cost of ownership is very low. If your HydroFloss only lasts 3 years (most last longer than that) you have paid less than $3 per month for the cost of ownership.

Therefore, the cost for purchasing a brand new HydroFloss is very, very low. If you believe that the HydroFloss can help you keep your teeth for a lifetime of good service, as I do, then it is a no brainer.

You can purchase a brand new HydroFloss:

Hydro Floss Machine Reservoir

February 23, 2019 by David

The Hydro Floss machine reservoir can be completely replaced. Or, if you just need the o-ring or the plastic insert they can also be purchased

Replacing your Hydro Floss Machine Reservoir can save you money. No need to buy a new machine just because you dropped the tank on a tile floor and it shattered.

Putting something sticky or gritty in your HydroFloss is also problematic to the health of your reservoir. In order to avoid this thoroughly clean all surfaces after each use.

Hydro Floss Machine Reservoir Best Practice

Avoid putting anything in your Hydro Floss, aside from regular tap water. The reason: Using your hydrofloss machine without additives is not only possible, but desirable. Learning how to use your HydroFloss properly can lead to better results. Also, it can lead to a longer life for the machine itself.

Hydro Floss O-Ring Or Plastic Insert Available Separately

Sometimes, you don’t need the entire Hydro Floss machine reservoir. You may only need the plastic insert or the o-ring.

The plastic insert can fall out and get lost. This is relatively rare. However, it does happen.

The o-ring can become loose or lost. Therefore, you’ll want to replace it. If the o-ring or the plastic insert are missing, your Hydro Floss machine reservoir may start to leak.

The reservoir does come with both the plastic insert and the o-ring in them. Therefore, if you buy a hydro floss machine reservoir as a replacement part, you will not have to worry about buying an extra plug or o-ring.

However, they are both available separately, should that be all you need. Replacing one or both of them is significantly less expensive.

Hydro Floss Machine – Discover A Hidden Secret

October 4, 2018 by David

hydro floss machineHydro Floss Machine

The Hydro Floss machine is one of the most powerful devices that you can have at your command for your in-home dental care.   This device has helped many people to reduce their periodontal pockets, thereby improving their gum health.  I also have my own personal experience to share.

Periodontal Pockets

This is the objective way to measure your gum health.  Generally speaking, when your pockets are 3mm or less, most dental professionals would deem your gums to be healthy at that point. Since this is a measurable item, you can keep records of how you improve of fail to improve.   Theoretically, when your pockets are 3mm or less, tissue damage, due to gum disease, stops.  This would include bone loss.

The Hydro Floss Machine Is The Best

This machine has helped a lot of people reduce their periodontal pocket depths.   I have personally spoken to people where this has been the case and it has also been the case for me personally.

Being told that you have gum disease is sometimes a frightening experience.  Hearing that you need an expensive or advanced treatments is equally scary.  The pressure is on,  what will you decide to do?  I know the feeling:  You don’t want to lose a tooth or multiple teeth. 

My Personal Experience

I had been told back around 2005 that I had moderate gum disease and that I needed a special treatment.  This treatment is often referred to as a “Scaling and Root Planing Treatment”, a SRP or a “Deep Cleaning”.   These types of treatments can be expensive.  Sometimes they like to do one quadrant at a time.  Other times, they like to do two quadrants at a time.  In any case, the average for such a treatment that may take multiple visits is around $1500.  In some parts of the country it is much higher.

Expense

Expense is not the only factor.  There is also pain.  They may choose to numb your gums during the treatment as they use instruments to reach down and scrape ‘under the gum line’.   The narrative they offer is that tartar has built up below the gumline and they need to scrape it away.

Pressure

Often times, they claim that this is the only way to get rid of built up tartar under the gum line.   I did not want this type of treatment after I heard about it.

They were very insistent that I get this treatment right away, like that very day.   I declined to get the treatment, feeling in my gut that it would be a mistake to do so.  They threatened that if I did not get the treatment that day, they would force me to sign a waiver that it was not their fault if I lost my teeth.

Fortunately, I stood my ground under this onslaught of fear mongering.  I’m glad I didn’t cave because what I figured out later proved, to me at least, that there are other ways to get your gums back to a healthy state again.

Insurance Will Pay – By Itself, Not A Good Reason To Do A Procedure

They also used the argument that if I got the treatment right away instead of a regular cleaning that insurance would pay for it.   In my opinion, getting something done just because insurance will pay for it at that time, is not the best reason to get any kind of treatment from anyone.   It’s more like a sales tactic.

I declined, despite the pressure, fear mongering and appeals to my wallet.

I Should Have Left Them Behind For Good

What I should have done next would be to leave them for good.  But I kept going back,  but I never let them do the ‘deep cleaning’ treatment.

I Tried Many Different Things In An Attempt To Make My Gums Healthy

Instead, I tried many things to get my gums healthy again.   I tried different mouthwashes, essential oils, oil pulling, various toothpastes and dental flosses.   But nothing worked.  Every time I went back, they insisted that I still had a problem.

I Finally Tried The Hydro Floss Machine

Then, I finally tried the Hydro Floss Machine.  I am glad I did.

The next time I went back the experience was great. The dentist and hygienist stared at my mouth in disbelief.  The pockets had shrunk.

The dentist said to me, “Whatever you are doing, keep it up.  You don’t need that treatment anymore”.    I was delighted, but later, I was disappointed in the dentist because she didn’t seem to want to know what I did.  It seems she didn’t want to find out and tell her other patients that were probably feeling as desperate as I was.   That was disappointing to say the least.

The Dentist Didn’t Want To Know

Why didn’t she want to know what I was doing?  I cannot say for certain, I can only guess.  If people have a way to get healthy gums on their own, it could interfere with a dental practice’s revenue.  Again, that’s just a guess, but it is hard for me to think there could be any other reason.   Maybe there is.  I’m not sure.

The Hydro Floss Machine Turned Out To Be The Best

At the end of the day, the Hydro Floss Machine turned out to be the best solution out of everything I tried.  The Hydro Floss proved itself as the easiest, quickest and also a relatively simple way to get the job done.  I continue using it to make sure that I keep my gums healthy.   I now sell the Hydro Floss at Toothy Grins Store  –  https://ToothyGrinsStore.com   That’s how much I believe in it.

I Don’t Want To Lose My Teeth – Please Help!

August 19, 2018 by David

I Don’t Want To Lose My Teeth

“I don’t want to lose my teeth” is  a perfectly understandable feeling.  No one in their right mind would choose the option of losing one or more teeth if there was a better alternative.  On this page we are going to talk about if there is a better alternative for YOU.

There are different situations, including one that needs immediate attention from a professional, read on to learn more about that.  Even if your situation is not immediately critical, you should always be working with and under the care of a dental professional.    Not all dental professionals are equal.  They vary in their knowledge, actual skill at implementation and importantly, their level of greed or lack thereof.  Level of actual or true care about and for patients is often difficult to discern clearly.  You’ll want to do your best to find someone you both trust and like. That’s a good start, but there is always more.  When it comes to your teeth, not just any doctor will do.

Don’t worry, we will get on to what you can do for yourself.  But first, there is something important to get out of the way.

One Circumstance Requires Immediate Attention

There is one circumstance where  I would caution you to forget this page (and the rest of the Internet) and go to a PERIODONTIST immediately!   That circumstance is this:    DO YOU HAVE A LOOSE TOOTH RIGHT NOW?   If you do have a loose adult tooth right now, stop what you are doing and find a periodontist.  That feeling of,  “I don’t want to lose my teeth”, is a little more valid in this case.   But there is still hope, even in this scenario.

The reason why is that you can no longer do self help if a tooth is loose.  You have to find a good periodontist who will save the tooth!   Read that again,  you are in crisis mode and you must find a periodontist who will SAVE the tooth.   Notice that I did not write that you need to find a periodontist who will PULL the tooth and install an implant.  I did NOT say that.   I said to find one that will SAVE the tooth.  Be sure to tell him, “I don’t want to lose my teeth”, so that he will understand that you want to have them saved and not pulled!

The Best Professional To Seek Out For This Type Of Problem

Periodontists have the best skill set out of all the professions to do this.  That is why I chose to send you to one immediately if you have one or more loose adult teeth.   Now, there is still a problem to look out for.   Many periodontists today will not utilize their skill set to save your tooth.   Because it is more lucrative and even easier to pull a tooth and do an implant, there is a danger. Find a professional who wants to save your teeth, not pull them.

It might take some work and may take visiting more than one periodontist, but go find a periodontist who will use his training to SAVE YOUR TOOTH or TEETH.

Again, if you have a loose adult tooth, close this page and the entire Internet and go find a periodontist who will save your tooth or teeth right now.  Do not pass go and do not collect $200.  Stop what you are doing and get this taken care of immediately.  You have a bit of a crisis on your hands and this is no time to play around if you want to keep your loose tooth or teeth.

If  Your Adult Tooth or Teeth Are Not Loose, But You Are Concerned About Losing Them, Then Read On

If you are reading this, there is a good chance that your dental health professional has said or done something (or both) that has scared you to the core.  I understand, I had a similar experience.  I was very, very concerned and even worried.  But I didn’t need to worry.  After some hard work, personal exploration and searching for answers, I was able to figure some things out and I eventually found the tool that I needed to help my gums become healthy again.

I’ll put a link at the bottom of this post to the tool that worked for me, if you want to skip ahead.  But I encourage you to read this entire post.  You can give me a call if you have questions as well.

Was The Fear Of Losing My Teeth Being Used To Manipulate Me?

I was told some outrageous things by my dental professionals.  They wanted to do a SRP, which is also called a Scaling and Root Planing or Deep Cleaning treatment, on my mouth.  The problem is they are expensive and potentially painful and typically have to be redone in one to three years.   I didn’t think that was a great solution to the problem.   Some dental literature also indicates that this type of treatment might cause gum recession all by itself.

I was also told that if I didn’t let them do that treatment THAT DAY, that I had to sign a waiver that if I lost my teeth it wasn’t my their fault. There was that fear that comes from the thought, “I don’t want to lose me teeth”.   There was a willingness on my part to sign that waiver, because I figured there had to be a better way.   Somehow, after all that fuss, there didn’t actually seem to be a waiver to sign.  Interesting?

There Had To Be An Answer That Made More Sense

I was determined to beat this problem.   I tried oil pulling, essential oils, various toothpastes and mouthwashes, but not of that seemed to work.  Every time I went back to that dentist’s office, they would tell me that I wasn’t any better and that I better get that treatment done.

That all changed one day. I found something that I used and when I went back in, both the dentist and hygienist was shocked.  I could see the look of disbelief on the dentist’s face.  At first, I thought she had horrible news for me, her face seemed to express a stern grimness.   But when she said that I everything was better and I know longer needed ‘that’ treatment – the SRP, I understood that look was one of shock.   She said that whatever I was doing I should keep it up.   But she didn’t follow up with the obvious question:  “What did you do to get your gums healthy again?”.

Stopping The Fear

The link below will take you to what I used to make my gums health again.   If you are worried about losing your teeth, you need to keep in mind that the key, in most cases, is to make your gums healthy again.   Unhealthy gums, or gum disease, is the number one cause of tooth loss.  Nothing else even comes close.  Make your gums healthy again and there is a good chance that you can keep the teeth you have for a lifetime of good service.

If you still have that feeling of “I don’t want to lose my teeth”,  don’t despair.   I’ve talked to many people over the last 10 years and for most of the people I have talked to, this worked for them too.

One final word on how you will know if this works for YOU personally, or not.   The key is an objective measurement called “periodontal pocket depths”.  Have your dentist measure them at every visit.  Generally speaking, if you can get and keep your pockets to 3mm or less, most dental professionals will call that healthy gum tissue.   Problem solved.

I hope you can now put that bad feeling to rest and that you won’t struggle with the pain of the thought, “I don’t want to lose my teeth” anymore.  I hope you can put that fear to rest for good.
