    Play TV And Computer Games And Be At Risk From Acid Attack


    2010 - 06.18

    Why your dental health can be damaged by video gaming.

    Parents have been complaining for years that their children are stuck in front of a monitor all day playing video games instead of being outside playing sports. Your overall health can be improved by partaking in physical activity; this is a well-known fact.

    Improvement of your physical health is not likely if you spend hours sitting in front of a PC monitor or gaming console. Things are even worse as a recent study shows. According to this study, snacking whilst video gaming can result in weight problems and a deterioration in oral health.

    There is evidence that those who spend a lot of time in front of a games console are twice as likely to suffer from tooth decay than those who prefer sports. This is a topic of grave concern to dental insurance providers who often actively encourage the general public to participate more fully in both physical and dental health activities

    The research suggests that teenagers who spend most of their time gaming are more likely to consume foods and snacks with higher levels of sugar. This is as likely to lead to tooth decay as it is to obesity and diabetes.

    Not only youngsters, but many adults are now addicted to their online games and in-home gaming systems. The obsession with the game can lead some people to ignore such matters as personal hygiene and oral care. Dr Nigel Carter, Chief executive of the British Dental Health Foundation, said “This study helps our understanding of the dietary habits and subsequent decay risk of gamers when the effects have previously been unknown”. He went on to highlight how important a stable diet was to maintain good oral health.

    Gamers are under acid attack

    Habitual gamers spend hours in front of the gaming consoles surrounded by bottles of fizzy drinks and bags of snacks on which they are continually snacking. Whilst the gamer is attacking video opponents his teeth are being attacked by the food he is eating.

    Snack foods are higher in preservatives and sugars. The teeth continue to be attacked by the acid derived from the sugar in the snack for nearly an hour after consumption. The reaction between plaque and sugars will lead to an increase in the amount of bacteria attacking the teeth and gums.

    Foods containing acids can do just as much harm. Gums and teeth can suffer more damage as a result of eating a packet of salt and vinegar crisps than by eating sugary foods. The vulnerability to attack of the teeth is increased by the fact that the acids in the snacks soften and weaken the enamel.

    Why parental rules are so important.

    The study focused on teenagers between the ages of 12 and 16. It found that those who avoided snacking whilst playing games or watching TV were less likely to develop tooth decay or gum disease than those who continually snacked.

    By watching TV and snacking under parental control the chances of developing serious tooth and gum problems was reduced by 30%.

    Avoid snacking, which leaves acid and sugar in the mouth for a long time; instead take regular meals in order to minimize this contact with the teeth and gums.

    You can help your children to have healthy teeth and gums by regulating what and when they eat.

    Looking after your natural teeth while you still have them can be done only by maintaining a decent diet, a good daily oral hygiene regimen and regular checkups with your dentist. Dental checkups are complete within a half hour and are very inexpensive. You can even get your dental health insurance plan to cover a check-up or oral hygiene visit and really put a smile on your face.

    Why Getting Supplemental Dental Plans are Vital


    2010 - 03.27

    Most people think about why they should even get supplemental dental plans when they already have health or medical insurance plans. However, what most people don’t realize is that a health or medical insurance plan is fairly different from dental plan coverage.

    [Supplemental dental plans]

    For instance, when you say medical insurance this usually covers treatment for diseases or illnesses that happen to you. Dental diseases or problems, though, are often preventable; hence, dental plans usually for prevention instead of fixing or curing.

    In addition, when you have medical plans, it will not mean that you are also covered for dental treatments. It’s either that or if you are covered, it will be limited.

    If this is the case, then this is where you would need a supplemental dental plan. Generally, your health plan coverage might only include basic options like teeth cleaning or x-rays, fillings and maybe jackets.

    However, if you go for a supplemental dental plan, you would be covered for complex treatments that your teeth might require.

    Maybe you need to have a crown fixed or have bridges. It can also be helpful if you have problems or diseases with your teeth and gums such as periodontitis and gingivitis.

    Plenty of dental insurance providers give out this coverage for both groups and individuals. Some plans would provide you an opportunity to pick your own dentist while other plans would require you to pick from a list.

    You would have to work hard if you are looking for supplemental dental plans that will work for you.

    You will notice that there are plenty of providers available, but most of the time they will not give out the best deal. If you are looking for a reliable provider, you need to look for them.

    Before, you would need to visit different offices just to get quotes and compare policies. Alternatively, you can also spend several hours on the phone calling up potential insurers.

    However, there is an easier way to find coverage and that is through and the Internet. There are plenty of great dental insurance websites that offer free quotes for a supplemental coverage.

    [Find out more]

    All you have to do is type the right keywords in any major search engine like Google, Yahoo!, or MSN. And in a couple of seconds, you’ll have a long list of websites to choose from.

    All you need to do is pick two or three of these sites and get quotes that they provide. Just make sure that you would be entering the correct information so that you will get good results.

    Once you managed to get all of the possible quotes, compare the results that you got from one site to another site. Narrow it down to two or three and then call them to ask any questions or clarifications you might have regarding their plan.

    If you do your search this way, you should be able to find the right supplemental dental plans with as little time as possible.

    Avoid Pain and Expensive Dental Bills – Save Your Teeth


    2010 - 03.27

    I find it to be surprising the number of people I hear from and the benefits they get from oral irrigation. However, these folks are not just using any old oral irrigator.

    Irrigators are not all created equal. Some have a special technology that allows them to reduce more plaque build up than others.

    The principle behind reducing plaque is very simple. Actually, reducing it isn’t actually the goal, although reducing it does help. The hydrofloss is the tool that has been shown to reduce plaque build up between office visits.

    You see, plaque is a very mundane term for something that is a bit more insidious when explained. Plaque is a alive! It is a living biofilm made up of a number of substances, the worst for us being bacteria.

    The plaque creates a problem for us human beings. Since it is a film, it produces a more or less airtight space. It is in this space that something terrible happens. Some bacteria, when they do not have oxygen, revert to a form of metabolism called ‘anaerobic’.

    This form of metabolism is harmful to the human host because of the toxic byproducts that come from it. These acidic, toxic substances can harm our dental enamel and our gum tissue.

    This explains the reason why you have been told to brush and floss daily. Trouble is, that may not be enough. The proof is in what dental health care professional and public health workers know. Statistics say that up to 75% of people have some form of gum disease in their mouth right now!

    It is staggering when you think about it. Most people brush, fewer floss, but even if you do both, you may still be headed for trouble.

    Gum disease can lead to tooth loss and researchers suspect that it can lead to many systemic diseases such as heart attacks and stroke.

    Improving Dental Health and Avoiding Expensive Dental Bills May Be Easier Than You Might Think?


    2010 - 03.24

    I have a unique position from which to comment on what may work for dental health home care. When I say, "work", I mean something that has the potential to keep gums and teeth healthy for the long haul.

    The reason I have this unique view point is because I sell a particular dental tool. This tool is the primary thing that I utilize for my own dental home care. Of course, I still go to the dentist on a regular basis for a checkup. The difference now is that I get to hear that my gums are healthy, pocket depths have been minimized and they continue to stay that way. I also avoided the dreaded ‘deep cleaning’, which is also known as a Scaling and Root Planing or SRP.

    I was astounded by this particular tool and I began to write about it several years ago. In fact, I mention it in my own book on gum disease. Later, I began to sell this tool directly to consumers.

    What follows is shocking even though I probably should have expected it. I hear from customers on a regular basis about their own experience with this tool. On the same day that I wrote this article, a customer told me about how the very next day after his first use, he found his gums to be firmer. He said that he has never seen his gums that firm before.

    Now, I am not one to make health claims and granted that there should be sound scientific studies and clinical tests to validate such things. I cannot validate what he said is true. However, I am astounded by the number of people that relate stories about this dental health device to me. This man’s story is not at all unusual – at least from my perspective.

    I recently spoke to a woman who said her dentist told her she had a 70% improvement in her gum health in under two weeks of using this tool. She was facing another ‘deep cleaning’ after recently having a $3000 surgery to clean her gums up.

    She had reached an end to her tolerance for these expensive procedures that did not seem to permanently solve the problem. She began looking for answers. This same type of experience is what prompted me to write a book about gum disease from the layman’s perspective.

    In today’s world, actually in yesterday’s world as well – dental disease is a huge problem. Many people think they are free and clear but they are unaware of the silent minor tragedy that is growing in their mouth. Sooner or later many of them encounter the term ‘deep cleaning’ or SRP from their dentist or hygienist. Going beyond that, patients might have been told that they need teeth extracted and implants or dentures installed. In my personal case, I was told that such a ‘deep cleaning’ was the only thing that would help me.

    I did not believe a ‘deep cleaning’ was the best answer for me and I started searching for answers. After several months of using the same device mentioned above, I returned to the dentist. She and the hygienist both told me that things were looking a lot better and that whatever I was doing I should keep it up and the dentist said that I no longer needed that ‘deep cleaning’ treatment after all!

    I was delighted to say the least. Now, I am finding, because of my interaction with customers that many of them have similar stories to tell. I would like for everyone to know about our experiences. If more people can save their teeth and save themselves from expensive dental treatments then it was worth it to write this article.

    Important: Saving Your Gums and Teeth and Avoiding Very Expensive Dental Bills?


    2010 - 03.24

    If you are concerned about the high cost of dental care and the almost complete lack of cost coverage – even when you have insurance – you are definitely not alone. One thing we should not overestimate is the importance of our dental health.

    You may scarcely notice your teeth when everything is fine. However, when something hurts, you have a cavity or perhaps need a root canal, you do notice. Most likely, at that point, you are willing to pay the price to get this dental work done. That price, as you undoubtedly know, can be very high, depleting your savings or causing you to ‘make payments’ to your dentist or credit card company.

    What if there were some simple things that you could do to actually prevent expensive treatments in the first place? Here are some things to keep in mind.

    1. The pH balance of your mouth is extremely important. Bacteria multiply more rapidly in an acidic environment and foods and beverages that are acidic can leach the calcium and phosphate right out of your teeth causing them to weaken and be more susceptible to – you guessed it – cavities!

    Beverages like soda and coffee can drive the pH balance to the acidic side. You can sip on milk or water while eating or drinking such things. That will help, but you really should consider a pH balanced rinse or chewing xylitol gum after eating such meals.

    2. Plaque build up – This is an amazing simple, yet complicated problem. It should be obvious to you that brushing and flossing are not a fool-proof method of avoiding dental problems. If there were, there would not be a need for so many dentists. The key here is that plaque is actually relatively easy to disrupt. No need to brush hard, just often! Consistency can help you win the fight against plaque.

    3. The same acidic foods and drinks can increase plaquing as well. Even some ‘healthy’ foods can do this. Blueberries are one of the worst foods that contribute to plaquing.

    Is the answer to avoid all ‘bad’ foods. That, in my opinion would be impossible.

    As I write this, I am situated inside a coffee shop in Kansas City. There is literally zero healthy food here. When I get hungry, I end up eating a cookie or piece of cake or an unhealthy sandwich loaded with meats and cheese – it doesn’t even taste good. But, when you are hungry, you will eat anything!

    Therefore, to counteract the effect of acidic foods and beverages, I try to keep some xylitol gum on hand. Xylitol has a powerful pH balancing effect. But not all xylitol gums are created equal. Some barely have enough put in by the manufacturer simply so that they can claim it on the label. It is virtually useless and because of the other ingredients in it, it could very well be harmful!

    Xylitol, pH balanced mouthwash, milk and water can all help you avoid the long term damage that can come from exposing your teeth and gums to harmful, acidic foods. Do not be the person who sips on soda or coffee all day. You are constantly putting acid in and doing nothing to change your mouth pH, you are doing this all day long! What do you think will happen long term – after years of this behavior?

    The same conditions that improve your chances for dental caries also can contribute to the development of gum disease. Both conditions can be expensive to treat.

    What You Do at Home Has the Greatest Impact on Oral Hygiene and Avoidance of Expensive Treatments


    2010 - 03.15

    In the course of my daily work, I get to hear from a lot of people. The stories are often marvelous. Most of them are in relation to dental health but I also get to hear stories about peoples’ experience in overcoming other disease conditions as well.

    One of the stories I recently heard was from a customer of mine. She bought a special device from me. She had a dental appointment in less than 2 weeks from the time she received the package. I was not certain that two weeks was enough time for this tool to work its magic, and she had even less than that amount of time.

    The results were outstanding. She said that the hygienist told her that there was a 70% improvement in her gum health. She was absolutely delighted. This was a person who had, just a few months prior spent thousands on a dental surgery to help her gums.

    Unfortunately, just a short time later, she was being told that she needed another ‘deep cleaning’ treatment. This is also known as a scaling and root planing or SRP treatment.

    The first time she called me, she was very distraught over this constant ‘need’ for expensive dental work. She could not understand why she had spent so much money and continued to need even more treatments!

    I understand her feelings all to well. Though I managed to avoid the first expensive treatment that was recommended, I still dread the idea of getting charged for something that ultimately is only a treatment that will very likely need to be repeated later on. This is what she found annoying too!

    There are many things that can be done to improve dental health from home. In fact, if you ask any dental professional they will tell you that what you do at home has more impact on your dental health than what they do in the office.

    However, as patients we are seldom told WHAT to do at home beyond simple brushing and flossing. Unfortunately, the same professionals will tell you that up to 75% of the population suffers from some form of gum disease right now! The only reasonable conclusion is that most people need more to gain and maintain their dental health than mere brushing and flossing has to offer!

    We are in need of a revolution in home dental health care. Your dentist will be delighted to see the health of your gum tissue improve. Since gum disease really is the number one cause of tooth loss, you can bet that getting this area of your life under control can really help you to save your teeth and even keep them while you get older even while your friends may be getting more and more tooth replacements in the form of implants or dentures.

    Having and keeping your own natural, living teeth is superior to having either implants or dentures. As the old saying goes: "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure"!

    As I Listen to The Dental Woes of Others I Become More Irritated?


    2010 - 03.10

    As part of my work, I get to talk to a lot of people about dental health and from listening to their stories of pain, suffering, solutions and treatments that do not provide long-term relief is something I find very frustrating! I think that by now, in our modern age, better answers should be provided to us from ‘professionals’ and ’scientists’.

    Unfortunately, I am convinced that we have been sold a ‘bill of goods’ in the notion that brushing and flossing are all that you need to maintain your dental health and prevent problems.

    My proof that is not true is self-evident. People still get cavities, their teeth still crack or break and they still get gum disease. In relation to the last term, the stats say it all! Most dental professionals agree that up to 75% of people have some form of gum disease right now.

    Therefore, you tell me, is it sensible to believe that merely brushing and flossing is enough for the majority of people to maintain their dental health? The reality of today’s state of dental health is very frustrating because the lack of knowledge about what dental disease is and what you can do about it is insidious.

    In addition, I challenge you to ponder these simple questions. Dentistry has been with us for a very long time, yet why do so many people still need cavities filled, root canals, crowns, gum grafts, and other ’special treatments’? Do you think that no one has ever come upon good answers to prevent these problems in all the years that ‘modern’ dentistry has been around?

    I certainly do not claim to have all of the answers, but I do think that I might have some of them. I was able to avoid one of those popular ‘deep cleaning’ treatments. Even if you have not heard that term from your dentist before or the terms, ‘SRP’ or ‘Scaling and Root Planing’, the chances are pretty good that someone you personally know has!

    For an oral irrigator, I  believe that the hydrofloss is the best.

    Chew xylitol gum for the healthy dental benefits discovered by Finlanders 6 decades ago.

    Try a pH balanced, oxygenated mouthwash

    I would further challenge anyone reading this article to dig deeper and discover the knowledge, understandings, tools and products that can truly help promote better dental health and save you and your loved ones from unnecessary expense, pain and prevent the need for harsh treatments!

    Dental Health Should be a Primary Concern For Everyone…


    2010 - 01.12

    When dental health is the topic, I can see images of teeth running inside my mind. Nothing more than visions of teeth – healthy and not, then I started to realize, it is not just about teeth but the underlying tissues and bones. I have been missing a lot because I have focused myself on just caring for my teeth.

    When we say dental health, it should be the entire oral cavity. It is not just caring for your pearly whites, you might be missing a lot, like me and my very little knowledge about it. I have learned through research that you may have really white teeth with the crowns unblemished but you can’t really tell if it is healthy. I have encountered once, a patient waiting in the dental reception sharing to me his story what terrible condition he has. I can see his teeth almost brilliant white and he told me he is totally caries-free. A portable oral irrigator can be useful when travelling.

    So what could be the problem? It startled me when he actually pushed his incisors with his tongue and I saw the incisors literally moved into slanting position. And then it suddenly came to me, he has putrid breath too. I can see how sorry he is having overlooked his dental obligations because aside from time constraints, he thought his dental health is perfect. This is a really pitiful situation but I couldn’t tell him anything that could calm him, at this point when I am so unsure even of my own condition. An oral irrigator can help to fight / prevent gum disease

    I tried to consult every search engine and it is surprising to find out that what could have gotten the case worse is improper oral hygiene practice. But of course there could be certain conditions that have aggravated the situation. It is funny how we have lived our lives with our oral cavity and how little do we know about it.  Learn how to stop gum disease before it is too late.
