What You Should Know about Gum Disease

I did not see the President’s speech at all, but I can see by the activity on twitter that he mentioned the relationship between gum disease and heart disease and something about flossing.

While flossing is certainly a useful practice and everyone SHOULD floss and brush daily, it is important to note that flossing and brushing are not always enough to prevent gum disease. In fact, chances are that many people will develop the disease anyway.

How do I know this? I know by the statistics that dental professionals agree upon. Up to 75% of people in the United States have some gum disease Right NOW!

While Mr. Obama is correct in that researchers have noted this connection, he may not be aware that flossing might not be the ultimate solution to stopping or preventing gum disease.

However, I’m very delighted that he mentioned the connection and I hope that people will soon learn that there are many other connections between gum disease and other diseases too!

Sincerely,

Since I have begun selling the Hydro Floss oral Irrigator at the Toothy Grins Store, I have had the good fortune to speak to many people.

A very interesting conversation occurred this past week. A gentleman from Minnesota called me and we had quite the conversation.

He was looking to purchase a hydro floss for his own use. I typically ask people if they have used one before and I have grown use to people telling me how much they like the hydro floss and how it has helped them personally.

This time, a slightly different story came forth. He was initially told about the Hydro Floss by his hygienist. This is not unusual at all, many dentists and hygienists recommend the Hydro Floss to their patients.

But he took things one step further. He has two friends, one is a periodontist and one is an oral surgeon and he asked them both about this device. He was surprised to hear that they both personally use the hydro floss.

But the oral surgeon did something a little differently and it was an eye opener for me. It is one of those moments when the ‘light bulb’ goes on.

She also uses the Pocket Pal Jet Tips. This surprised me because I had believed the Pocket Pal’s were only needed for people who had 5 to 6 mm pockets. Well, you can bet this person, an expert on oral health has gums that are in good shape. SHE uses the pocket pals as a preventive measure.

I hadn’t considered this before. While the regular tips are made to be used at right angles to the teeth and gums. The pocket pals are used to shoot water directly into the pockets.

So, I thought something like, “It makes sense to use them to maintain / improve the health of gum tissue”. Since that conversation, I’ve been using the pocket pal jet tip after my regular use of the Hydro Floss and I think it is a good practice for me personally!

David,

Wait until you hear this!!! I am so happy and thankful for your advice. I went to a new periodontist today for a second opinion. He said my gums were in excellent shape and keep using the hydrofloss and whatever else I am doing.

In May when I visited the first periodontist he said I needed surgery. Today my gums are healthy and no surgery. I am so happy and what a savings. It would have cost be $5,000 for the surgery.

I can’t thank you enough for all the advice you have given me. Your book is terrific!!

People will often ask, periodontists - what do they do? A periodontist, just like your regular dentist, makes a living by helping you to care for your teeth. This is a very important specialty in the dental field, which requires extensive schooling.

After it is recommended by your regular dentist that you see a periodontist, you will have a visit scheduled for a somewhat usual teeth cleaning. During this visit the periodontist, with the aid of his dental hygienist, will use this cleaning as an opportunity to see how much plaque is able to be removed. During this visit you will also be instructed on the importance of proper dental hygiene.

Scaling is a procedure which will likely also be used at this time is an attempt to eliminate any pockets and remove more stubborn plaque. If you have caught this gum disease in it’s early stages, this may be enough along with good dental habits, in order to prevent a bigger problem.

Gum disease which is further progressed, may require that your periodontist perform surgery. Performing surgery for this purpose as well as others pertaining to dental needs is not at all uncommon for your periodontist. They regularly perform surgeries which include the removal of gum tissue, jaw realignment and quite a few others. In fact this is the predominant purpose of his or her job.

Your periodontist will instruct you in the best means of caring for your teeth. Their goal is to help you to achieve the best dental health which is available. It is in your best interest to follow all of his or her advice and direction regarding dental health and hygiene. This will help you to keep your gums and teeth healthy and looking great.

Hi Dave,

I am doing great thanks to your book and the buying of a hydro floss plus the 3 deep cleans I had, I am completely free of gum disease my periodontist said he did not expect this kind of result and I did not even really need my last deep clean. He also said wait for it my gums were as healthy as a teenagers! Praise indeed. He was impressed with the hydro floss and said he will be recommending to his clients. I think I should be on commission for them I think I have got at least 10 people to buy one!ha ha thanks again.

This is what a dental hygienist in Pennsylvania had to say about my book:

David Snape saves!!! He may save teeth, money, time, and pain, but most importantly, he may save lives. Now that links have been established between the infection of chronic periodontal disease and many systemic illnesses like Diabetes, Heart Disease, Stroke and Low-weight pre-term birth his words are invaluable!

Dave’s new guide, “WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT GUM DISEASE” is a great layman’s handbook about how to care for your teeth and gums.
He has thoroughly researched gum disease and has written an easy to read guide for people to help themselves, yet gives balance to the need for professional care. This book is a must read for people who are afraid to go to the dentist, people in underserved areas or those who just can’t afford professional dental services.

Dave makes the reader aware of the signs of gum disease and what they can do to help themselves.This book should be in dentist and doctor’s office waiting areas and health clinics for the poor and working poor.

He is respectful to the importance of Dentists and Hygienists in their role in helping people achieve good oral and systemic health, but also helps inform the public how to be better patients!
Definitely a valuable book to have handy on everyone’s bookshelf!

Not sure how this one slipped past my radar until now, but it happens sometimes. I always try to tell you about the good deals out there.

There is a sale right now, buy 2 get one free. Here are the products that are on sale:

–> http://tinyurl.com/cka9c8

You can get some good deals now, but the sale is ending soon.

Specifically for gum disease, look for anything labeled Perio Therapy -

These are the gum disease fighting mouthwashes and toothpastes.

What is special about them?

They have pecially formulated oxygenated compounds.

If you have read my book, then you already know about the Perio Therapy formulas.

If not - The bacteria responsible for gum disease are anaerobic in nature. Oxygen kills them.

There are very few mouthwashes on the market that have oxygenated compounds in them. Perio Therapy is one of them.

Perio Therapy formulas also contain other powerful ingredients such as zinc and pyrophosphates - pyrophosphates are for stopping / reducing plaque build up.

And you’ll be happy to know that Therabreath sells my book as well. (though it is not part of the special)

Check out the Perio Therapy and other products on special at:

http://tinyurl.com/cka9c8 <–

Hint: They have lots of bad breath fighting products too - including those for fighting your dog’s bad breath!

But hurry, the counter on their website says the sale ends in less than 14 hours at the time I sent this message was posted (11:33 AM 4/30/2009)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Tip: Try using one of the coupons at http://www.therabreathcoupon.com to increase your savings further.

I’m not 100% sure that works, but I think it might… Can’t hurt to try.
