The Oral Irrigator, A Multi-Purpose Device

The Oral Irrigator...What For?

With it, you can floss in a fraction of the time it would take you to floss manually and will reverse gum disease in only a few days.

It also has the ability of effectively removing tonsil stones when used correctly. Irrigators are true marvels of ingenuity!

FLOSS AND REVERSE GUM DISEASE

Anaerobic bacteria find the gum line perfect to settle. It’s a very low oxygen environment and provides great shelter against oxygen rich saliva. For those who don’t floss, the food trapped between teeth will also provide the bacteria with a food source.

When this condition is left unchecked, the bacteria will eventually reproduce in vast numbers and attack gum tissue. That’s right, they will literally begin to desolve your gums! That’s when you begin to bleed.

Bleeding gums will provide another food source for the bacteria already present in the gum line, but also in the rest of the mouth. When blood is ingested by these bacteria, they release a gaseous waste (volatile sulphur compound) called Methyl Mercaptan. This compound smells of feces…feces is the technical term for ‘crap’.

At this point, you should be aware that you have gum disease. You might think this condition to be of no severity, I’d suggest you think again. When bacteria reach far enough in you gums, they have the ability to penetrate the tiny blood vessels in your mouth and travel to other parts of your body through the blood streams! When they do, they can cause heart disease, strokes, and even diabetes.

If anyone reaches this point in gum disease, chronic bad breath will become the least of their worries.

How to use the Irrigator for Flossing purposes

It’s very simple. Once the it is turned on, simply point its tip towards your gum line and ‘spray’ water throughout your mouth. The water will penetrate in the gum pockets inside the gum line flushing out the accumulated bacteria and food debris.

The first few times, you can expect your gums to bleed abundantly. But after a couple of days, your gums will begin to reinforce themselves and heal. The result is quiet extraordinary.

It’s important that you take the time to ‘evolve’ with the oral irrigator. Start with a low setting and progressively work your way up. You will need to proceed this way if you don’t want to further damage your already weak gums.

The Oral Irrigator and Tonsil Stones

Tonsil stones, also called tonsilloliths, really are a pain in the butt to get rid of. Most people will try the manual approach, using their finger nail or the like of tooth picks or the wrong side of a comb, but those are not very hygienic and can be downright dangerous.

The right approach is with the irrigator. Because tonsil tissue is extremely delicate, it’s very important to set it at a minimum setting before proceeding!

Get a flash light to illuminate your mouth to the back of your throat and simply aim the oral irrigator's water stream towards your tonsil crypts. By flushing them out, the thin stream of water will push the stones out of the crypts and on your bathroom sink.
