Diving in Bali

Greetings
We are here in Bali and the diving is fantastic.  I understand that it is not too nice at home.  March is a wierd month for weather in Seattle.  The picture is of a sea fan on a wall dive.  It is pretty incredible.

An Easy and Effective Way to Clean Your Teeth!

If you haven’t heard about water flossing yet, you will. 
I am convinced that it is the single most important aid
in keeping your gums healthy.  It’s giving flossing a run for it’s money!

1. It Reduces the Periodontal(Gum) Infection:  One of the primary benefits of the Water Flosser is that the pulsating action actually expels the bacteria from the pocket. 
2. It Reduces the Inflammation:  Studies have shown that people who add the Water Flosser to daily homecare, have less bleeding than people who do not use it.
3. It Helps People with Diabetes:  People with diabetes tend to be at greater risk of gum disease and often have more severe gingival inflammation therefore, it is a great adjunct.
4. It is Safe and Gentle Around Implants:  Maintenance of implants is critical to their long-term survival.  The addition of diluted chlorhexidine in your Water Flosser can aid even more.
5. There is Nothing Better for Cleaning Around Orthodontic Appliances:  I can attest to that!  Studies show that the Water Flosser reduced bleeding over 50% more than toothbrushing alone.
6. It Gets Deeper into the Pocket than Dental Floss.  For people with periodontal disease and deep pockets, it can penetrate up to 7mm as opposed to about 3mm with dental floss.
7. It Removes Plaque:  Studies from the University of Southern California Center for Biofilms found that a three-second application of water flossing with the classic jet tip at medium pressure removed over 90% of the plaque.
8. It’s Easy to Use:  Using the Water Flosser is easier than dental floss because it requires less manual dexterity.  It takes about a minute to rinse the entire mouth.  I personally use mine over the sink with a small amount of mouth wash. Another method is to use it in the shower.  Just be careful it doesn’t spray all over.
9. It is a Clinically Proven Alternative to Dental Floss:  Many of you have trouble with dental floss.  If you do, this is a great and easy way    to improve your dental health.
10. It is Evidenced Based: The use of the Water Flosser as an effective alternative to dental floss is a new concept that has been consistently demonstrated in three separate studies
