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.

A simple 5 minute test could be the difference between life & death.
