Using hydro Cleaning: A Video by Dave
Friday, April 4th, 2008Hydro Cleaning to Remove Plaque and Tarter
Friday, April 4th, 2008Plaque and tarter create a poor oral health environment. The build up of these toxins lead to the onset of Gingivitis & Periodontitis. The sticky film allows bacteria to take hold. Once the bacteria embeds into the gum line, Gingivitis follows leading to periodontitis if it is not removed.
Gum disease is not the only problem that can develop from plaque and tarter. Cavities will develop as the tooth enamel is eroded away.
Oral bacteria can also cause discomfort from itching if the immune system is compromised. Yeast and molds can grow quickly within the oral cavity causing allergic reactions. These same mold and yeast infections cause itching along the roof of the mouth, sneezing and watery eyes. In short, it can make life miserable.
An effective relief to these toxins and the build up that results is hydro cleaning. The regulated spray allows water to ‘blast away’ at the bacteria that hides just under the gumline.
An outline of this dental cleaning procedure is explained here.
This is an inexpensive method with a small one-time investment.
Brushing daily with OraMD will also kill these deadly bacteria. Hydro-cleaning and daily use of OraMD is a deadly combination for any oral bacteria which also arrests the build up of mold and yeast infections.

Regular Checkups can Prevent Oral Cancer
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008The preceding post to this shows a video by Blythe Danner. She gives a serious warning to all of us about oral cancer. This terrible disease took the life of her husband. It should help us to make the wise decision to see the dentist at least twice a year. It’s a routine that should not be taken lightly. Sadly, the misfortune of another leads to taking a more serious look at our own mortality. It’s a very tough way to learn an important lesson.
The check up takes about five minutes. It is painless. The lips, tongue, gums, cheeks, palate and throat are given a thorough examination in the process.
The dentist will notice any unusual swellings or tongue-color change. The texture of these organs can also tell if something has gone awry.
Tobacco and alcohol are very irritating and can bring about oral cancer. The same is true for chewing tobacco. Any tobacco product that is held in the mouth for an extended period of time can lead to oral cancer. There is an undeniable, observable connection that dentists have seen for years. It’s no longer a ‘theory’.
Symptoms:
- White or Red Patches anywhere within the mouth.
- Sores that do not heal after a few weeks and may bleed.
- Any lumps or strange changes in the organs or skin surface. This could mean ulcers or forming tumors.
- Loose teeth.
- persistent pain or numb sensations.
Any noticeable sore or growth should be examined. One of the common mistakes about these changes is to think that it’s no big deal. The onset of cancer due to these sores is often painless and then overlooked.
Dental Health: Dental Check-ups for Oral Cancer
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008In this video, Blythe Danner gives a warning about Oral Cancer. She informs us that we should take the disease seriously. We should check for this condition with frequent routine dental check-ups. The loss of her husband due to this killer, the pain and heartache is an unfortunate way to have a ‘wake-up call’.
A simple 5 minute test could be the difference between life & death.
Dental Health Risks from Lead-Based Crowns
Monday, March 31st, 2008You may have heard about the massive recall of toys by Mattel last year. This was due to toxic lead found in the paint of many toy items. These toys were manufactured and imported from China.
Similar issues have been found with dental crowns manufactured in China. Several patients that became ill after dental work had their illness traced to high levels of lead entering the bloodstream after having these crowns placed.
It is your right to insist that your dentist uses standard high-quality crowns and other dental items from the most reputable suppliers.
A good dentist is well aware of these issues and is very careful to select suppliers. Your dentist will not take offense to such a question. Your doctor is there to enhance and protect your health by using the most advanced techniques. He will also use the highest quality supplies available.
Lead is linked to Parkinson’s disease. Lead poisoning could also lead to irritability, muscle weakness, learning problems and (this is ironic) higher rates of tooth decay! these are just a few of the symptoms.
Lead may be fine for certain industrial items. It has no place in a person’s mouth!

New Holistic Viewpoint of Dental Health
Friday, March 28th, 2008I read a fabulous post today. It’s from a doctor who makes a wise comment regarding the overall health of the body. She says that the state of our oral health reflects the overall state of our body. It’s quite brilliant and will get you thinking about your own overall health. When you look at the condition of your mouth, you will get a reflection of what’s going on physically, mentally and spiritually.
Detecting what is wrong within; addressing the issues and healing them will enhance the overall health of the body.
The holistic approach is one of great wisdom. Everything is connected. The systems of the body need to operate smoothly and efficiently. If one part of the body is in trouble, it will reflect in the performance and general health of the rest of our body. Conversely, as we strengthen and heal each individual part of us that is in sub-health, it will reflect in a greater overall health.
Let’s get a simple example. Let’s say you have a toothache, how will you feel going through your day today? How will you face some annoyance that is normally a brush-off? Of course, that small annoyance will be greatly magnified. The physical pain decreases our mental and spiritual health to some degree.
Stress: Oh that wonderful popular word of our times!
Stress is directly linked to the breakdown of oral (and overall) health. During the time that I had a sudden deterioration of my gums leading to periodontitis, I was dealing with an enourmous amount of stress due to family issues. The fact was impossible to deny. Stress is a killer. With mounting economic pressures and world issues, it is important to protect ourselves from the negativity that we are bombarded with in our day to day existence.
Exercise and meditation are a great buffer for stress. Finding solace in your respective religious practice will help relieve stress and illness within the body.
Take time to laugh. No matter what is going on, grab some time away from the daily routine and laugh. What movie always made you laugh? Get a copy and watch it. What comedian do you enjoy? Pick up their CD or find downloads on the web. So many of these treasures are available today for free. I always loved Rodney Dangerfield and Sam Kinison. Both men are gone but never forgotten. whenever I want my sides to split, they fill the order.
Have GRATITUDE: No matter what is going on in our life, there is much to be grateful for. I’ve read several books by Dr. Joe Vitale (highly recommended). At one point in his life, Joe was homeless, negative and leading a miserable existence. This all changed when he started finding things to be grateful for. He started, I believe, with a pencil in his pocket. He thanked “the universe” for the pencil and started to roll-out all the things that he could be grateful for. His life changed. He is a best-selling author and millionaire today. Gratitude was the beginning of such a dramatic change in his life. Gratitude, by the way, is a constant attitude. Be grateful always!
An exercise in Gratitude:
I did this, it works. I frequently repeat the process- highly recommended:
Lie on your back, relax and then think of one thing that you can be grateful for. I gave thanks for the clean room that I was in, my comfortable bed, having a roof over my head and a refrigerator full of food. After that, the floodgates opened. You soon find that there are thousands and thousands of “free” gifts in life to be thankful for! How about your senses, or the fact that blood is flowing through your veins bringing life by a heart that will beat continuously until our final day? Pretty amazing, right?
Gratitude is an amazing “strategy” for changing life for the better.

Care for your gums daily with a few drops of OraMD. The ‘extra-strength’ OraMD will heal receding and bleeding gums quickly.
Be thankful for all the good things in life. It works.

Dental Health Expense Tips
Wednesday, March 26th, 2008Dental expense can be overwhelming. Cavities, root canal, gum disease and other advanced dental problems demand treatment that can seriously affect one’s financial health. Without a good (and expensive) insurance plan, most people are forced to neglect this vital care.
If you find yourself in this position, here are a few tips that can help:
Ask your dentist to prioritize treatment. In this way , you can space-out treatment appointments. Take care of the most urgent issues first. In between treatment you can seek other options to fund or offset the overall cost.
Discuss some options to your treatment plan. Your dentist may find other ways to treat the same issues which could be less expensive. Being ‘creative’ in this way does not have to compromise proper treatment.
Many dentists will work out a finance plan for you. If your dentist has been your doctor for some time, this could be a good option.
Of course, we always need to examine our eating and general health habits. What has caused the cavities, the gum disease and other problems? Poor eating habits with junk food, soda and other sweets will cause extensive damage over time. Altering diet to make more healthy selections will not only preserve the teeth but our overall health.
Exercise is not only good for the muscles and cardiovascular system. Blood flow from exercise also helps to maintain healthy gums. Healthy gums enhance the teeth which creates a better resistance to harmful bacteria. Exercise does a great deal to enhance the immune system. All the systems of the body work together. Work the holistic approach.
Use a soft toothbrush and don’t brush hard. If not, the enamel breaks down over time and this leads to complications.
Dental Health: Gum Disease & Clots
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008Gum disease infection and openings put the entire body at risk. If the infection enters the bloodstream, there’s a tendency for serious health challenges to develop.
Bacteria that enters the bloodstream contacting a weakened area within any major artery can lead to clotting. Clotting is a natural healing response. However, a clot within the major arteries of the heart can lead to a heart attack. Clotting near the brain can lead to a stroke.
This article gives a complete overview of clotting. It explains what a clot is and the many issues that can seriously affect your quality of life. Of course, a heart attack or stroke can also be fatal.
Our job is prevention. Daily cleaning is imperative. We should observe for any cavities or gum disintegration at least twice a week. A 6 month check-up will reveal the issues that only an expert can find. A dentist can then correct the issue before it becomes a more serious health challenge.
Knowledge is not only available but free for all these concerns on the internet. Any issue can be researched by simply typing the word into your search browser. The many articles written by doctors and health experts can very well save your life. Use this gift freely and often.
