Rotadent - Toothpicks |
|
If you want your smile to look great, long term, the smile,
the gums, and the face need to look healthy. Unhealthy gums
cause bad breath. Since most people will not floss we have
developed an easy system for our patients to properly clean
their teeth and gums without having to use floss. In addition
to using your regular tooth brush, we recommend using a special
gum brush called Rotadent and special plastic tooth picks called
Rotapoints that are University tested to keep your gums healthy.
No other brush has such soft brissles that can get under your
gums where the bacteria are hiding at 90,000 brush sweeps a minute
it can really clean the teeth and gums. |
The Rotapoint tooth picks are made of plastic so microscopic splinters
will not break off into the gums and create more problems like wooden
tooth picks. In addition they are shaped like the space in between your
teeth (a triangle) for maximum cleaning, strenghtening and stimulation of the gums.
The next three items we recommend to use on a daily basis are Closys II mouthwash,
toothpaste and tongue scraper. This product contains no alcohol. Store bought alcohol
tends to dry out the mouth and make bad breath worse. |

Halimeter |
|
This product is unique in that it breaks sulfur bonds which is the cause of bad breath.
Other store bought products just cover bad breath up for a short amount of time. This
system will eliminate bad breath forever.
If you are ever concerned about the odor of your breath we have a halimeter that will
electronically test your breath for odors.
Come in for a 15 minute consultation to have your breath tested for only $15.00 by mentioning our website. This is a $65.00 dollar value to you.

Another major part of our program is the use of pharmaceutical grade vitamins.
I believe that the most important component that has been missing in the care,
prevention and treatment of gum disease is strong nutritional support.
Due to our country's depleted food supply and the significant increase in fast-food intake,
our bodies are no longer receiving quality nutrients.
Therefore our ability to defend against multiple diseases has been dramatically
reduced or eliminated.In many instances this nutritional deficiency and weakened state
of defense appears first in the mouth with the onset of periodontal disease.This is far
more serious than just bleeding gums or the loss of ones teeth.

|
Numerous medical publications support the fact that gum disease has been linked to the
leading causes of death such as heart disease, respiratory disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's,
to name a few and has even been shown to cause low-weight premature birth.
In order to provide this essential component with the optimum nutritional support, our practice
uses nutraceutical formulas exclusively from a company called Pharmaden.

| Pharmaden Products |

The two main reasons I chose Pharmaden are 1) Pharmaden's vitamins and minerals were specifically
formulated and clinically proven for improved oral health and 2) because Pharmaden uses only the
finest pharmaceutical-grade nutrients proportioned in the optimum balance. Pharmaden's products
are manufactured to the same high and exacting standards required for prescription medicines.
The first product I place every patient on that has been diagnosed with any stage of gum disease is
Pharmaden's PerioTherapy. The perio patients with Gingivitis through Class II receive
1 capsule twice daily for 60 days (with meals). The Class III & IV patients receive 2 capsules twice
daily for 60 to 90 days. (Each bottle contains 60 capsules.)

In addition to PerioTherapy , I also start my patients on OsteoTherapy
to provide the optimum mineral/ vitamin support such as Calcium, Magnesium and Vitamin D (3 of the 13 ingredients).
I believe that bone re-mineralization support is not only critical for my patients who have lost bone and are at
risk of tooth loss, but should also be used as a preventative by all patients before they experience loss of bone.
All patients are given 2 capsules twice daily with food
(one bottle contains a 30 day supply of 120 capsules). The OsteoTherapy
is then used continuously for bone support, and OsteoTherapy is also the finest
calcium supplement I have ever found as a preventative for Osteoporosis.
|
|
Once a patient completes either 60 or 90 days of PerioTherapy ,
I then place them on a maintenance/prevention regimen with Pharmaden's PerioCare .
All Classes of patients take 1 capsule twice daily (one bottle of 60 capsules is a 30 day supply).
My patients remain on PerioCare and OsteoTherapy so we can
maintain their treatment results and to provide their bodies with strong nutritional support to
help fight off further disease and infection. I cannot stress strongly enough how essential
this nutritional support is to both the results.
The addition of pharmaceutical-grade, nutritional support to my perio treatment protocol has produced
greater results than anything else I've experienced in my 20 years of practice. I was so impressed that
I personally take the PerioCare and OsteoTherapy as a preventative
of gum disease as well as for my daily nutrition protocol for overall disease prevention.
|
These products only work if I can gently clean (with no shots) the bacteria from under the gums so
there is a clean start to a healthy mouth. Come in for a free gum evaluation by mentioning our Website.
