Hi. This is Carrie with Natural Gumption and today we're going to talk about the Hydrofloss,
how it can be effective, and how to use it.
So, today we're talking about the Hydrofloss. The Hydrofloss is an oral irrigator and oral
irrigation works really well where your toothbrush and your floss just can't get to. Oral irrigation
works to help control bleeding gums, it helps to control bad breath due to plaque build-up
underneath the gums, and it also really helps to massage the gums so that you're getting
fresh oxygen to the gum tissue, which not a lot of people talk about, but it's really-really-really
important to get fresh oxygen into those gum tissues. So the Hydrofloss oral irrigator
is a type of irrigator. It's magnetized so it helps with tartar build-up as well as plaque
accumulation, and it is pressure-regulated so that it doesn't do any damage to the gums.
So one of the great things again about irrigation is that you're bringing fresh oxygen to the
gum tissue, and what that means is you're bringing fresh blood as well. When you clean,
if you have healthy gums, this is a healthy bone area. You're able to clean underneath
there, but then also if you have gum disease, if you have deep pockets, this is what it
looks like. Your bone is actually deteriorated and so you have a lot more space in there
that you have to clean and so the Hydrofloss allows you to do that really effectively.
Here we have the unit set-up and ready to go. Here's what it looks like when it's on
your countertop. That little square thing that you see on the handle, that's a pause
button, and then this is just a standard tip. Usually most people prefer to use warm water
because if you have any sensitive areas, it just tends to be a little more comfortable.
And then once you put it on—put the tank on, you are just going to give it a little
press-down and make sure that it's on all the way. If you add any medication, you would
add it now. We use Periogen because it's a tartar-dissolving solution. It's the first
product on the market that has ever been able to do that, so we're really excited about
Periogen. But anything that you would add, you would add it right now and then take your
tip, turn your unit on, and let the water cycle through so that you mix it.
Okay, here we go. So again, you just want to make sure that your mouth is down towards
the sink and that your lips and your cheeks are relaxed so that the water is just flowing
down into the sink instead of getting everywhere else. What you want to make sure that you
do with that tip is you want to make sure that when you first start using it, just go
ahead and touch the tip so that you can figure out where you are supposed to be. Once you
get used to using it, you actually don't want to touch the tip to the tooth. You want to
allow the pulsating water to do that. Make sure you get inside and out every which way,
and that's Hydroflossing. I hope you enjoy it and thanks for stopping by.
