Of course I am talking about heart plaque, not teeth, but the same thing will probably happen here...won’t ever hear about this discovery again.
I use a combo of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide to brush my teeth. I work them into a paste. Works great, kills plaque and keeps gums nice and tight.
Cool. Ping to send to my dentist.
I was using that, too. I still had gum problems until I found the e-thread trick. I had asked my dentist why I was having such problems and he basically said that some folks are just prone to gum disease. But not any more.
Btw- My local grocery store sells Aloe leave for 99 cents for a 2 footer. I cut out the gel in the center and roll that around in my mouth against the gums once in a while, it's great.
Swallow it and it will make the rest of your tube better also, the inner skin that you cut the gel out of can be rubbed on your skin, etc..
I want a new toothbrush....

Sorry for the double post...but I don’t think I did it...
Well, aren’t you a sweetheart? :-) Thank you for the information.
I know our d-i-l would have loved to have had this information before she began to have such problems.
She was diagnosed with periodontal disease, then she fell down the stairs while carrying our youngest grandson.
He was just a few months old....she started down the stairs while carrying him and slipped, tumbled down and hit the wall with her face.
She was trying to keep from landing on top of our tiny grand baby, and injured herself terribly.
So, on top of having periodontal problems, she ended up having surgery for a broken jaw.
She’s had problems ever since.
Her teeth are loosening from the periodontal problems, plus, she can’t open her mouth very far at all, because of the break.
I will share this info with her.
Anyway...thank you. It sounds like we all need to do this flossing technique.:-)
“Cool Plasma” sounds like a wine cooler idea. ;’) Thanks Ernest.
Without significant pain, what’s the point?
My attorneys have advised me to neither confirm, deny, nor comment upon any relationship to any persons, real or imagined, that could be described as less than compassionate, lawful, and/or jovial.
Your secret is safe with me. ;-)
Honestly, I believe so. I think if folks were taught to do this as youngsters, widespread periodontal problems would disappear. This has made SUCH a huge difference for me and my wife that it is just astounding. Because I found the method late in life (early fifties), I have relatively deep pockets, and my gums have receded quite a bit. Since doing the peroxide/e-thread thing, the gum recession has stopped, and according to my dental tech, reversed just a bit. But of course, I'll never recover the lost ground. Wish I had found this in my twenties!!!
I have no doubt, you’re right about that. :-)
