This short essay is based on my experiences with the HydroFloss Oral Irrigator. This is a story about how I found the HydroFloss and why I was looking for it - even though I didn’t know exactly what I was going to find when I was searching for answers.

A while back, my dental doctor and her trusty hygienist assistant told me that something had to be done about my gum disease issues. They were quite sober and determined in their explanation of what they felt was a necessary treatment.

Their plan involved something called a ’scaling and root planing’. This is also referred to as a SRP.

Just listening to the description was pretty scary to me at the time. I didn’t really feel as if this was an experience I wanted to undergo.

The assistant told me that she would dig down underneath my gums with specially crafted tools that would allow her to get rid of an accumulation of tartar. She would also smooth the surfaces under there to make it harder for it 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 was beginning to imagine the pain that would set in when the medication wore off. Yikes!

Then she mentioned that if I refused the treatment that I needed to sign a waiver stating that they were not responsible for what happens to my teeth from there on. I didn’t like that either.

Being completely frank, I felt like I was being sold a ‘bill of goods’. It just seemed plain silly that they would request the signing of 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.

The reason she gave was that insurance might not pay for as much of this treatment later, so it would be best to just do it now. I thought that there was no possible way I was going to do this without thinking it over.

There was a voice in my mind that was very strongly opposed to going through with this new protocol, so I said no. Oddly enough, the waiver issue did not come up again.

This whole situation was a bit disturbing to me. I decided that I needed to find another solution.

Afterward, I talked to someone who had this treatment. She did not seem very satisfied with the results.

I started searching. A device called the HydroFloss Oral Irrigator came to my attention. I felt that I should give it a try and I purchased one online.

I was very optimistic when the package showed up on my doorstep. I noted that there should have been a video instruction disk included with my purchase but it just wasn’t there.

I wrote to the company and asked them to send me one. They did. When the video showed up, I watched right away.

I just knew there was a good chance this was at least part of the answer I was looking for. Because of that, I had no problem working with it more than a couple of times each 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.

Both the dentist and the hygienist examined my mouth and gums. They both agreed that I was looking a whole lot better and that I didn’t need their SRP treatment after all.

You can imagine that I felt really good at that point. I still use my HydroFloss daily, except when traveling.

If your gaze wanders to the resource box below where my information is, you will find a nifty link to a nice coupon code for the HydroFloss oral irrigator. Based on my very own experience, the Hydro Floss has been more than worth the cost to me!
