When you irrigate the teeth and gums, you are, essentially, flooding the area with water or some sort of antiseptic solution. By definition, irrigate simply means, "To supply (a wound, etc.) with a constant flow of some liquid."
The drawing here shows an irrigation tip forcing
liquid along the neck of the tooth. In this illustration, the gap
on the right, between the tooth and gums, is shown to be wider than the
gum tissue on
the left of the tooth. This was drawn to indicate a periodontal
'pocket' where the disease process has caused the tooth and gum to
separate, weakening the tooth's hold in the jaw. Pockets are
normally measured by depth in millimeters. Experienced hygienists
might be able to gauge depth by simply inspecting the teeth and gums,
but a more accurate measurment is made by 'periodontal probing' done
while the hygienist inserts a thin, graduated probe for this purpose.
Where there are no pockets, or they are very shallow (1 -2 MM) a standard, larger opening tip is fine. Simply angle the tip to direct the flow of the fluid along the gum line in order to flush out and food debris trapped between the teeth and gum tissue. Move from tooth to tooth starting on the outside (cheek side) bottom row, moving from the right to the left. Come back doing the inside of the teeth. While doing this, 'floss' with the liquid in between the teeth as you go from tooth to tooth, angling the tip in all directions in order to make sure you are hitting all sides of the tooth, not just inside and out. When the bottom row is clean, do the top row in the same manner. When finished, do the crowns as well.
The ViaJet PRO oral irrigator comes with two additional 'SulcaSoft' tips. These are longer and pointed at the end as well as narrower, in order to allow you to reach a little deeper into an affected pocket. The SulcaSoft allows you to get from 2 - 4 MM approximately. Use this tip the same way.
Several of our irrigators either include or accommodate a Cannula tip, which is a needle-like, 24ga stainless steel tip, designed to probe into deeper pockets. Because these tips are so small, the flow of liquid is restricted and you will not find the same pressure as you will the other two types mentioned above. However, the purpose of irrigating with the cannula is to simply 'deliver' your solution to the affected area and saturate it - not blow debris from the pocket. You are just trying to kill off bacteria. With the cannula, you simply insert the tip easily into the pocket, deliver the solution and move on. Use the cannula tip on pockets deeper than 4 - 5 MM in depth.
At any time you notice any pain or bleeding while irrigating, decrease the pressure of the flow and gradually increase it in the days or weeks ahead as your gums heal and strengthen.
The entire purpose of irrigating is to clean the affected area so that bacteria cannot feed on the foods left behind. Of course, in many cases, this may already be happening where you see red, inflamed gums, loose, bleeding or painful teeth, pockets with a terrible odor emanating, etc. These symptoms are indicative of stages of periodontal disease(s), to put it simply.
When you begin irrigating, it may take a while to develop the dexterity to move through the process quickly and thoroughly, but after a while, you should be able to do your entire mouth in just 2 or 3 minutes. Where you have deeper pockets, obviously you'll need a little more time. One thing is for certain - for you first timers, you'll be impressed at the amount of rotted debris which you’re likely to flush out from between the teeth and under the gums your first couple of times through. This is a good thing, and that, along with the accompanying odor, will be a thing of the past. Done at least once a day, your mouth can begin a process of healing and healthy maintenance. Age and the strength of your immune system will certainly play a role in response time and healing, but any irrigating is better than none.
One final note: When you are away from home, irrigate by swishing water forcefully between the teeth several times after eating. If you have ever done this, you know how much food you can dislodge by doing this. Remember, acid production begins within minutes once bacterial get hold of the sugars and foods converted to sugars after you eat, so don't wait to swish. No, you can't swish with your soda or any sugared drink. You'll defeat the purpose. Use water.
Happy irrigating!

The Cannula Tip Adapter Kit is sold separately from the ViaJet PRO and is recommended where deeper periodontal pockets (beyond 4mm) are known to be present. (24 Ga. end-port).

 TheraSol
was originally developed as a professional strength, bactericidal mouth
rinse that doesn’t stain the teeth. Despite its strong antimicrobial
properties, TheraSol is extremely mild with none of the harsh, burning
sensations associated with some brands of commercial rinses. It also
tastes great and leaves the mouth feeling sparkling clean and
refreshed. TheraSol is used as
an irrigation solution for the ViaJet PRO, Pocket Care or Perioflex
irrigators.TheraSol can be used two ways depending on the periodontal pocket depths around the teeth. In shallow pockets (2-4 mm) irrigate & use TheraSol just like a toothpaste, brushing it onto the tongue, teeth and gums. In deep pockets where brushes can’t reach, use an irrigator such as the ViaJet or Pocket Care with a cannula tip to squirt TheraSol below the gumline. Cannula tips are available for the Via Jet to reach to the bottom of the deepest pockets. |

 Dr. Collins RESTORE
Remineralizing ToothpasteWith Calcium and Phosphorus Ions to Re-Mineralze Your Teeth! Restore Toothpaste:
* Contains NovaMin to rebuild the tooth surface * Restores lost tooth minerals and strengthens teeth * Fluoride Free Remineralizing Toothpaste * Kills bacteria associated with cavities * Reduces tooth sensitivity A new kind of tooth care, Dr. Collins Restore Toothpaste strengthens and revitalizes your teeth with ionic calcium and other essential minerals. You will see and feel the difference in just a few brushings! Teeth are exposed daily to many things that damage the tooth surface. Acidic foods, brushing, chewing and bacterial acids all erode and dissolve part of your teeth every day. To prevent your teeth from simply dissolving away, they have a self-repair mechanism unlike any other part of your body. This process uses calcium and phosphorus ions in your saliva to re-grow the crystalline structure of your teeth. |
 Dr. Collins Perio ToothbrushDr. Collins Perio Toothbrush penetrates the areas between teeth and gums removing plaque and food particles, while gently massaging gums without pain and bleeding. It gives you cleaner teeth, healthier gums and saves tooth enamel from abrasion. Dr. Collins Perio Toothbrush helps prevent cavities and provides overall oral hygiene and fresher breath. Standard toothbrush filaments have flat tips and cannot reach between teeth where residual foods and foreign substances can accumulate, rot, cause bad breath, and lead to the onset of tooth decay and gum disease. The Dr. Collins Perio toothbrush has tapered filaments that can penetrate between the teeth and around the gums to remove the unwanted buildup. Details & Ordering Hi Tom, I will definitely be ordering more brushes. |
 Synthovial Seven® Premium Oral Hyaluronic AcidHyaluronic acid (HA) exists naturally in all living organisms. In the body, it is found in greater concentrations in the synovial fluid of the connective of teeth & gums, joints for lubrication, the vitreous humor (fluid) of the eye and most abundantly in the skin. As we age, the body produces less and less hyaluronic acid. This has an adverse effect on normal, smooth, comfortable joint movement and normal softness and smoothness of the skin. You can maintain normal mobility, proper skin condition, the skin's self-smoothing ability when wounded, and clear healthy eyes with Synthovial Seven®. Details and Book: The HA Anti-Aging Answer |

"Since
I began using your website, purchased materials and supplies, etc. my
periodontal disease has been defeated, according to my dentist (I know
the difference too). He has taken note, as has my periodontist, that my
case is very unique and inspiring. Significantly reduced pocketing,
healthy gingiva, loose teeth tightened up..."

 Clean water is indispensable for good
health. Your
body
contains more than 70% water. Don't be careless about the quality of
water
you and your family are drinking. Distilled water is your purest form
of
water.OraMedia Countertop Distillers make the purest water, eliminating all types of bacteria, viruses, organic and inorganic chemicals, heavy metals, radon, and other contaminants. You and your family need and deserve clean water. Water in the human body acts as a solvent, carrying nutrients to every living cell, and transporting waste material out of the cells for removal. Efficient absorption of nutrients and efficient elimination of wastes through the kidneys and liver is only possible when water, the transport medium, is clean. Distilled water removes poisonous substances and inorganic mineral matter from the human body. This process will be impeded if the water you drink is already contaminated. |
