Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Hi Akkama, Sonicare (Sonicare.com) is what I use in the evening and Alum/Salt for the morning cleansing. Go to http://www.erc.montana.edu/CBEssentials-SW/bf-basics-99/bbasics-01.htm for some real hardcore research on the subject of Biofilm which cover Plaque and Tartar. After seeing a movie at the website showing the effectiveness of the Sonic technology I immediately got on Ebay and scored their newest model (unopened) for better than 55% off of Suggested Retail. I later talked to a friend who said that after having used the Sonicare he went to his dentist for his yearly cleaning and was told "there was nothing to clean". Exact words. See the movie http://www.erc.montana.edu/Res-Lib99-SW/Movies/2002/02-M010_M013.htm Sat Nam, Dharam akkamahadevi avanti wrote: > SAT NAM, > What are you thoughts on some of the best ways of > dental cleansing and preventing teh tartar from > accumulation? > I feel regular dental cleansing widens the teeth gaps > and increases > and the problem rather than providing a solution. > thanks > Akkama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Thanks for the info Dharam, Could you please detail further on using Alum/Salt to brush? Also, where can I find Alum? My concern to sonicare is What effect will those vibrations have on jaw, skull and other facial organs? - Thanks Akkama Protect your identity with Mail AddressGuard http://antispam./whatsnewfree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 14, 2003 Report Share Posted November 14, 2003 Sat Nam Akkama, Regarding Alum and Salt, we've had enough discussion on this subject to Gag a horse.......a large horse. Check the Archives doing word searches for Alum, Salt, Gag, Gagging, Mucus. Gagging is great but lets not repeat what has already been laid out in full color and gory details. Regarding Sonic care, I had/have the same concerns you had, but more so with regard to the 84 meridians that are in the mouth. What effect, positive or negative, might this have? Nonetheless, the more you understand Biofilm and how difficult it is to remove (eg. 75 minutes of soaking in chlorine still only removed 70% in one experiment) the more you can appreciate this ultrasonic method. Fifteen seconds of Sonicare brushing removed 99.9% of the film and bacteria in one experiment. Check out that site by the University of Montana and Bill Costerton...he IS the man in Biofilm Engineering. BTW, cleaning is my business and in reviewing my methods I ran upon this info on toothcare absolutely by chance. http://www.erc.montana.edu/CBEssentials-SW/bf-basics-99/bbasics-01.htm There are several very good "micro" movies at this page Sat Nam, Dharam P.S. One must also weigh in the known connection between tooth/gum health with immunity issues and heart health vs an unknown effect, if any. akkamahadevi avanti wrote: > Thanks for the info Dharam, > Could you please detail further on > using Alum/Salt to brush? > Also, where can I find Alum? > My concern to sonicare is > What effect will those vibrations have on jaw, skull > and other > facial organs? > - > Thanks > Akkama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
