I guess this paper would be classified as a review of the hydro floss oral irrigator based on personal observation and use. It is a device that is worthy of being talked about.

A long time ago now, my dental professional was very concerned about the state of health of my gum tissue. Her hygienist agreed that I needed some specialized attention. They were business like and stern as they explained what was needed.

That treatment was called a SRP or scaling and root planing treatment. It is quite common to be on the receiving end of 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 doctor’s helper articulated with precision that she intended to dig out tartar that had piled up inferior to or underneath the place where my gums met my teeth. The assistant also planned to make those areas smooth so that it would be more difficult for calculus 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!

I thought, “Great, you need to make my gums numb. I wonder how much it is going to hurt when the medicine wears off?”

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.

To be perfectly honest, this sounded a lot like a marketing ploy to me. I thought it was ridiculous that they should want me to sign such a waiver.

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.

Her given rationale had to do with insurance. If I got the standard treatment, instead of the special one, insurance might not pay for the advanced procedure later. Therefore, it was perfectly logical to have this done now. I knew that for something like this, I was going to need time to consider it.

I saw or felt one of those big warning signs in my mind that indicated, “Don’t do this!” I said that I did not want the treatment. Apparently, she felt that I didn’t need to sign the waiver after all.

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.

When it arrived I was very hopeful. For some reason, they were supposed to send me a video with the HydroFloss but it was not to be found in the package.

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.

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.
