I have significant gum loss and peridontal disease. I have a Sonicare toothbrush and have used HP to help my problem. With a lot of gum loss I do not recommend an electronic toothbrush. They can be very tough on the teeth. I no longer use mine I also think that use of HP should be used no more than once a day. I think it is tough on the teeth rootswhere you cannot afford more loss. I also don't think that the HP penetrates into the infected areas well. The infection can even penetrate the bone. I use colloidal silver (ionic home made). It is inexpensive if you do it yourself including making the CS generator. CS can pass through the mouths tissues if you rinse with it for about 5 minutes. The other thing I use is calcium Bentonite clay. The clay has an amazing ability to clear up deep routed infections, drawing it out from the gums. I hydrate the clay to a thick paste, put a tablespoon of the paste in my mouth and hold for 20 to 30 minutes 2 to 3 times a day. If the cost of the CS is to high, I would use HP once a day along woth the clay. If I had to choose only one thing I would use the Bentonite over any of the others. - Steve

At my last visit 6 months ago I had one area that measured 6. I had taken a recommendation from a few forum people and used 3%peroxide on my toothbrush with baking soda salt formula from ecodent. I did this every time I brushed with an oral B electic toohbrush 3x/day to help whiten my dull teeth. I have no cavities or abcessess but was told I permanently eroded my teeth and have deep gum pockets now. The hygenist says it's not from the concoction I used but that's the only thing I did different. I was also told that I can not fix the eroded teeth nor deep gum pockets. Even if I strengthened the gum tissue the gaps would remain due to eroding the teeth. I was told I would get and probably have plague in the pockets that is unreachable that will breed bacteria and systemic problems. The dentist wants to bond the teeth to fill in gaps beteen the tooth and gums. He also told me that my gums would be stronger if I agreed to use flouride.I was told I would need oral surgery and loose my teeth if I don't. I can't afford that nor do I want to do that.The hygenist used some deep probe ultrasonic tool that left mygums throbbing. I do not want to bond them. I went in for a simple cleaning with no cavities and left being told I will loose my teeth! My questions are: Do power toothbrushes erode enamel on teeth? We're told they decrease plague,cavities and whiten. Does peroxide damage teeth and gums? Is Dr. Judds tooth soap the best way to go? CoQ 10? Can enamel be rebuilt? Does swishing CS stain the teeth? My teeth seemed grayer after I used it for months. I pray the damage is reversible. Thanks for any suggestions. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
