David,

I went to the periodontist and he wanted to do laser surgery. I purchased the hydrofloss along with the mouthwash and toothpaste from Dr. Katz. My gums look good and feel great. (My gums never were red or swollen and they did not bleed, that is why I was dubious about the surgery).

Of course I was not going to have the surgery because I heard from another dentist that it could cause more damage than what it is worth.

I called my perodontics office and ask if there was an alternative to sugery. They told me that if my pockets were more that 3 mm that I could not clean the pockets myself. I would need a dental hygienist to clean them every 3 months and that my pockets probably would not get any smaller but the hygienist could keep them much cleaner than I could.

They did not tell me about the hydrofloss but I heard it from a friend of mine who is a dental hygienist. That is how I learned about you.

Isn’t it strange they don’t want to tell you about using the hydrofloss?

I’m using the hydrofloss and it works great. I believe my pockets are much smaller and I am going to keep track of the sizes when I get my teeth cleaned next week.

Thanks for all the information about gum disease.

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!

Get the Hydro Floss

This article is about the Hydro Floss Oral Irrigator and it is based on my personal experiences. The Hydro Floss is something that has value and should be discussed.

Several years ago, my dentist told me that I had a little problem. She and the hygienist were very serious in their conversation and demeanor. They wanted to do a special treatment on me.

Their plan involved something called a ’scaling and root planing’. This is also referred to as a SRP.

As they explained, I really didn’t enjoy the picture that was forming in my mind. I did not get a comfortable warm feeling from this discussion at all. I was wondering if I could pass.

The assistant told me that she would dig down underneath my gums with specially crafted tools that would allow her to get rid of an accumulation of tartar. She would also smooth the surfaces under there to make it harder for it to return.

This procedure appeared to be even worse than I first imagined. It was no comfort to hear her say that she could numb my gums up so that I wouldn’t feel a thing!

At this point, I knew it was going to hurt whenever the medication wore off. This was not the kind of life experience that I would remember fondly.

I was then told that If I did not accept this procedure that I should put my signature on a waiver to signify that I understood they were not responsible for what might happen to my teeth. This was another red flag for me.

Candidly speaking, I imagined that I was becoming the victim of some slick marketing tactics. It was hard for me to see the request to sign a waiver as anything more than a trick.

Then there was the ‘final straw’ for me. The hygienist told me that it would be best if they started today. She wanted to do this instead of my regular cleaning routine.

The logic she used made sense. The problem was with insurance. Should I get the standard, regular cleaning procedure now, insurance might not be inclined to pay for the advanced one later. But, I felt in my heart, that this was something I would need time to ponder before committing to it.

There was a voice in my mind that was very strongly opposed to going through with this new protocol, so I said no. Oddly enough, the waiver issue did not come up again.

The entire predicament seemed very surreal to me. There had to be another way for my gums to be healthy again.

Later, I found out that a person I know had this protocol done to her. She told me that she was unhappy with the outcome.

I hunted around for a possible solution. I stumbled upon the Hydro Floss oral irrigator. I sent away for one.

I felt eager to get started when the box was delivered to my door. I looked for an instructional disk inside, but I could not find it.

I sent a note off, asking for the video that was not included in the package. There was no problem from that point on and it was mailed to me. I felt upbeat after watching the video.

I felt confident that this device was going to work for me. As a result, I utilized it several times per day.

Several months after I started using the Hydro Floss, I went back to the same dental office. Judging by their reactions, I made a good choice.

Both the dentist and the hygienist examined my mouth and gums. They both agreed that I was looking a whole lot better and that I didn’t need their SRP treatment after all.

You can probably understand that I was elated to hear this good news. I still use the Hydro Floss irrigator daily, except when I am out of the country or my home town.

Take a gander at my signature box below and you will find a link to a coupon for a great deal on the HydroFloss. Is the Hydro Floss worth it? In my opinion, based on my experience, it is.

This short essay is based on my experiences with the HydroFloss Oral Irrigator. This is a story about how I found the HydroFloss and why I was looking for it – even though I didn’t know exactly what I was going to find when I was searching for answers.

A while back, my dental doctor and her trusty hygienist assistant told me that something had to be done about my gum disease issues. They were quite sober and determined in their explanation of what they felt was a necessary treatment.

They further explained that what they wanted to do was referred to as a ’scaling and root planing’ procedure. It is also called a SRP.

As they explained, I really didn’t enjoy the picture that was forming in my mind. I did not get a comfortable warm feeling from this discussion at all. I was wondering if I could pass.

The hygienist explained that they would go down below the gumline with some special tools to scrape built up tartar / calculus. She would also ’smooth’ the root to get rid of rough spots that allow for the accumulation of plaque build up.

Again, I thought this can’t be a lovely thing to go through. Even more scary was the fact that she felt that I need not worry because she could make my gums feel numb while she worked.

At this point, I knew it was going to hurt whenever the medication wore off. This was not the kind of life experience that I would remember fondly.

Then she mentioned that if I refused the treatment that I needed to sign a waiver stating that they were not responsible for what happens to my teeth from there on. I didn’t like that either.

Being completely frank, I felt like I was being sold a ‘bill of goods’. It just seemed plain silly that they would request the signing of a waiver.

Then came the part that made up my mind. The assistant stated that I should start on this today, instead of having my regular routine cleaning done.

The logic she used made sense. The problem was with insurance. Should I get the standard, regular cleaning procedure now, insurance might not be inclined to pay for the advanced one later. But, I felt in my heart, that this was something I would need time to ponder before committing to it.

There was a voice in my mind that was very strongly opposed to going through with this new protocol, so I said no. Oddly enough, the waiver issue did not come up again.

The entire predicament seemed very surreal to me. There had to be another way for my gums to be healthy again.

Afterward, I talked to someone who had this treatment. She did not seem very satisfied with the results.

I started searching. A device called the HydroFloss Oral Irrigator came to my attention. I felt that I should give it a try and I purchased one online.

I was very optimistic when the package showed up on my doorstep. I noted that there should have been a video instruction disk included with my purchase but it just wasn’t there.

I wrote to the company and asked them to send me one. They did. When the video showed up, I watched right away.

I was pretty optimistic that the HydroFloss would work for me. Therefore, I started applying its usage often throughout the day.

Approximately, twenty weeks later, I went back to visit the office of my dentist. The reaction I received from them made my very happy.

The same assistant and doctor took a good look at my gums. Each agreed that there was a vast improvement. In fact, they told me that there was no need for that scaling and root planing now.

You can imagine that I felt really good at that point. I still use my HydroFloss daily, except when traveling.

I thought I would share with you a little note that I found in my inbox a few days ago. I want to thank Jill for sharing her story with us: Thank You Jill. This is exactly the kind of thing that people need to know about and hear!

Hi David,

I just thought I’d drop you a note to tell you that the Hydrofloss has saved my teeth and saved me thousands of dollars. I had gum disease 6 years ago. I went to a periodontal surgeon and he said there was nothing I could do that it was too far advanced and I needed to have 4 teeth extracted. Being that he was the expert, I let him remove two of my teeth in the back of my mouth. After the surgery (which was awful) he told me he had removed the better two in my mouth and that the really bad ones needed to come out next. I never went back to him.

I have a friend that has implanted teeth and her dentist told her not to use floss but to get the Hydrofloss instead. Well, I bought one also. Not for the same reason as she, but thought it couldn’t hurt to try it. It is now 6 years since my surgery. I have used my Hydrofloss (I’m on my second one) religiously every day (even when I travel I take it with me) at bedtime.

My dentist has told me I have no signs of gum disease, do not need my other teeth removed and to keep up doing whatever I’m doing. He really wasn’t interested in knowing about the machine (even though I keep trying to tell him). That’s the only thing I don’t like about him.

I’m sure you must get other letters like this but I just felt that I wanted to share good news. My son is using his all the time now too.
Thank you.
