HYDROFLOSS: High Tech Dental Care

According to the Surgeon General of the United States, periodontal disease (gum disease) affects 75% of adults at some point during their lifetime. That's 3 out of every 4 adults! Numerous illnesses and diseases of the body have been linked to periodontal disease, such as diabetes, stroke, anemia, kidney disease, heart and lung disease, low-birthweight and premature births. Gum disease is also the number one cause of tooth loss, but if detected early, is usually treatable.


The best approach in the treatment of gum disease is prevention through plaque control. Plaque is a sticky mix of different types of bacteria that attach to tooth surfaces above and below the gumline. Because plaque is the primary cause of periodontal disease, it is essential to remove it daily as thoroughly as possible. There are many gadgets and devices on the market to assist us in cleaning our mouths, and the HYDROFLOSS is one of the best hi tech home dental care products, when used regularly.


The HYDROFLOSS is an oral irrigator that shoots a stream of pulsating water out of the tip to effectively remove food debris, germs, and bacteria that brushing and flossing alone can miss.

It can help in controlling the formation of plaque, and will remove deposits above and slightly below the gumline, where bacteria is often hiding. The HYDROFLOSS will leave your mouth feeling refreshed and clean, but best of all, it's almost twice as effective as other oral irrigators. The difference lies in the hydro-magnetic technology of the HYDROFLOSS. A 44-64% reduction in plaque bacteria was found during studies that were published in the Journal of Clinical Periodontology.

It's important to see your dentist regularly, brush and floss, and use the HYDROFLOSS daily for a great addition to your home hygiene program. Many of our patients have benefited from using the HYDROFLOSS at home and are experiencing better peridontal health at their dental visits. And it's safe to add your favorite mouthrinse for a fresh taste.
