The Grease Barrier

Monday, June 29th, 2009

The excrement from the anaerobic bacteria is the taste and smell in the mouth upon waking up in the morning. Not only is it acidic, it also forms a sticky hydrophobic (water resistant) shield around the tooth, called plaque. This is why water alone does not work to remove plaque. In addition, gums act like a gasket around the tooth, further preventing air or water to reach the anaerobic bacteria along the gum line. Something else is needed to break through the grease barrier.

Bacteria in the Mouth

Monday, June 22nd, 2009

Both periodontal disease and tooth decay (or gingivitis) is caused by bacteria.

Bacteria can be divided into two types: aerobic – those that live off and reproduce in air – mostly beneficial and anaerobic – those that live in the absence of air – mostly pathological.

 There are hundreds of different species of bacteria in the mouth. There is no other place in or on the male or female body that houses this diversity of bacteria. The mouth is a dark, moist, acidic environment with a constant warm temperature and a steady supply of carbohydrates. These are ideal bacteria growing conditions – particularly in between teeth and under the gum line.

Definition of Periodontal

Thursday, June 18th, 2009

Before we get into the definition, thought you might like to see Baci the Dental Dog on vacation at the Beach in SC. Baci in SC

Periodontal disease…”peri” means around and “dontal” means tooth. Periodontal disease and tooth decay are the most prevalent diseases on the planet earth. It is a chronic infectious inflammation. If the total surface area of loose tissue around your teeth were unwrapped and measured, the area would be about nine square inches; about the size of your forearm. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, “80% of all adults have had some degree of periodontal disease”, but because it’s in our mouth, out-of-sight, we put it out-of-mind.

Using the Dental Air Force System

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

This might help some users on the best way to use the Dental Air Force System….

Thanks for the product and the site update.

Having just received my equipment today, I’d appreciate more details on techniques for using it. The first time I tried, I assumed I needed to keep my mouth closed whilst the machine is in operation, and very rapidly had puffed out cheeks and an intense mintiness in my nose.

Watching your demonstration video, it seems that you held your mouth open for the short duration that the machine was in working. I assume this is the expected mode of operation? How do you ensure that: (a) Sufficient cleaner is picked up and directed to the right place, and (b) Liquids aren’t sprayed around the bathroom?

Hello mmalc Crawford
Thank you for your feedback.
The best way to utilize the Dental Air Force is to
1. hold your head over the sink (do not look into the mirror or you will spray your mirror),
2. start with the upper teeth
3. keep your mouth gently closed over the tip (not tightly or you will puff up like a puffer fish out of water!)
4. allow the air to escape through your mouth (the slurry will settle behind your lower front teeth while the air will escape out of your mouth instead of out of your nose)
5. allow the excess slurry to drip out of your mouth (slurry will still settle behind your lower front teeth)
6. work your way around the upper cheek side teeth, upper tongue side, then go to the lower cheek side and lastly the lower tongue side. This will allow the most amount of slurry to be picked up at the end of the cleaning, when you may be beginning to run out.

A Satisfied Customer

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Hi All

Just got this from a satisfied customer and wanted to share it with you….

·         Don Flynn   June 2, 2009 at 12:30 pm

Purchased the Dental Air Force in April, and can’t begin to tell you what a remarkable product you have designed. I have had a constant struggle with my teeth and gums due to overcrowding. Could only use glide, and brushing only seemed to inflame my gums. Drink a lot of tea and have had stains on my teeth. Going for 3x/yr cleanings at the dentist have felt great afterwards but the cleaning process has been painful and bloody. I felt a vast improvement in the color of my teeth and the status of my gums within a week. My dental hygenist for the last 15 years can’t believe the results. For the first time in years my gums don’t hurt, or bleed. I use the H2O@ with the powder, and using the device 2 times per day feels like I just had my teeth professionally cleaned and whitened. Being a health professional I can appreciate the role chronic inflammation has on overall health, and I thank you for contributing so much to my wellbeing. Will spread the word about you’re incredible product. Sincerely Donald Flynn

Thanks Don for your great feedback.

You are really taking advantage of the system and why it was designed. Using hydrogen peroxide in the system instead of water will further aerate the sites between the teeth and along the gum line. It will add to the disinfecting and changing of the environment so the anaerobic species of bacteria will have a harder time multiplying. And as a bonus, it will get teeth even whiter by intrinsically bleaching, similar to professional whitening.
