Comment on Is getting dental care from the residents at the dental clinic at a university hospital? by health buff

health buff — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 11:57:36 +0000

Do not hesitate to choose a university dental facility for your dental care. The students’ work is checked step by step by supervising dentists. The work is very, very SLOW and methodical, but very THOROUGH and will be your most affordable option.

Comment on Bleeding Gums Turning Your Toothpaste Red? by Emery C

Emery C — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 18:32:14 +0000

You have an excellent article on bleeding gums! Your right – proper dental hygiene is so important in combating gum disease. There are many herbal medicines for bleeding gums but even with proper brushing, one must be aware of the toothpaste that they are using. Most toothpaste’s contain “sodium lauryl sulfate” known as SLS.
SLS is a foaming agent used in the commercial industry for industrial cleaners. It is put in toothpaste to make it foam, leading you to believe that the toothpaste is really doing a good job cleaning your teeth. However, SLS is a big irritant to your gums. Manufacturers won’t tell you this. Your article is very informative and educational.

Comment on Flossaid Dental Floss Holder – 3 Pack by T. Ramlochansingh

Having fairly bad peridontitis, I was getting scolded by my dentist because of my continuous high plaque scores. So I hopped onto Amazon to see if there was a device that would do away with my clumsy style of manually flossing with my fingers. I was convinced enough by the reviews of the Flossaid so I decided to buy 3 3-packs. I gave 8 to relatives and kept one for myself. This Flossaid is really great. Initially I had some difficulty manouevering it, but after practicing in front of a mirror, I have gotten the angles right. The Flossaid is sturdy and reaches all the spots. Mine is only about 3 weeks old. The only thing that could go wrong is if the wheel stops holding the floss tightly. With proper care, it should last years. I can really get down into the sulcus (gum between teeth), up and down the opposing sides of my teeth and with a bit of a twist, I get a fair amount of the cheek side and the tongue side. Don't rush flossing. Go slow. I takes me about 20 mins or more to make sure I do a thorough job. I know when my teeth are really flossed now. My only complaint is that they should separate the attachment points for both ends of the floss. Sometimes the ends tangle up around the wheel, and takes a while to undo the floss and move it over. Attachment points near the end of each prong would save some floss and be easier to move it over. Overall a big boost to my oral care. My last plaque score three days ago was 17% and my dentist gave me a pat on the back. I think I can still do better than that. Don't assume kids will floss properly, you need to use the mirror approach and make sure they scrape the full length up from the base of tooth surfaces and not just side to side scraping on the gum line. I definitely recommend this product. And remember to use it every night, after your last meal!

If you crank the pressure up on this thing it will strip the skin from the inside of your mouth. And I'm not exaggerating. It's also SUPER LOUD so be prepared. The dual tank thing is more of a pain than a benefit. If you ever need to switch to the other tank you have to sit there and turn the pressure knob up and down until liquid begins to shoot out. Not a deal breaker by any means though. It works well and I'm still using it to this day.

Comment on Suffering From Dental Phobia? by Jesse James

It is wonderful that you are helping people to overcome their fears of going to the dentist.

As long as you have a good dentist you should have nothing to fear.

conair water pik
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
I originally purchased this item after getting my wisdom teeth removed (after healing, but before the spaces filled in). It did the job getting the food out of the spaces, and then I started using it regularly because I liked the other benefts of using a water pik. I have been blessed with great teeth, but I have never been one to get myself to floss, this does a great job of replacing flossing, but it also does a great job leaking all over my bathroom counter. I did get a good year out of it, so for the price that’s ok. I am going with a Waterpik model that is rated better, but a little more costly, now that I know I will keep using it.

Dental Waterjet
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I love this! I am a water jet freak for my teeth and have owned several. All of which have either broken or become non functioning which I expect this one will also someday. But for the time being, it is great. I love the double tank which allows me to use a dental rinse as well. There are plenty of attachments to my husband can have his very own.

Deadly dental tools
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I was hoping these would allow me to keep the plaque off my teeth. They are dangerously sharp and not at all suitable. Strictly for non dental useage.

Very ineffective product
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I bought one of these when I could no longer find the Oral B Hummingbird in stores. (I’ve since found the latter on-line at Amazon, hurray!) The plastic tips are limp to begin with and soon curl after the briefest use. They do not effectively remove particles. I’ve been using my last remaining Hummingbird for a check after doing my best with the Waterpik flosser and it consistently removes particles missed by the Waterpik. Moreover the set of plastic tips provided runs out long before the battery does. I am throwing it in the trash now that I have found that I can order the Oral B Hummingbird.

Rating:2 out of 5 stars
THE NEW/OLD PACKAGE COLORS ARE HARD TO DECIPHER. HOW ABOUT THE OLD PACKAGE. PEOPLE DO NOT WANT DIFFERENT COLORS EVERY TIME THEY SHOP. ARM AND HAMMER NEEDS TO SLOW IT DOWN – OR GO TO HELL. I’M TIRED OF GUESSING WHAT’S INSIDE THE TOOTHPASTE BECAUSE OF COLORFUL UPDATES.

Still a good toothpaste
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I agree with the other reviewers that all the Arm & Hammer changes to their toothpaste formulas and packaging is confusing and frustrating – they shouldn’t change a good product that customers like to use. However, this one seems pretty decent, and I didn’t experience any allergic reactions. (I don’t have any allergies except to chocolate, which gives me canker sores) I actually use this baking soda toothpaste to reduce the canker sores I get occasionally. I guess baking soda makes the mouth less acidic, which seems to help.

Maybe they’ve changed to ingredients again or the other fellow listing the ingredients had a different product, but this one contains the following ingredients:

Sodium fluoride, sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), water, glycerin, sodium saccharin, PEG-8, flavor, cellulose gum, sodium lauryl sulfate, and sodium lauroyl sarcosinate.

Not good.
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Unfortunately it does not work that well because the water automatically starts shooting and to stop the flow you have to press a button, so if your finger slips there is water all over the place. They should make it so that the button is press whenever you want the water to flow instead. Very disappointed with it. It sometimes leaks from the hose, which of course is also messy.
