I have dental implants as well as Sjogrens (dry mouth). The dental hygentist, the 1st time I visited her here, recommended an electric toothbrush as well as a water-pik. I have both!! The next time I saw her she told me the difference was nearly night and day. In the beginning apparently I had early signs of gum disease and more. I really feel a difference myself--my mouth feels so much cleaner!! Anything we can do to have good mouth-health is very important. It can be life-threatening as there's a coorelation of mouth issues with heart issues.
Oh...I bought my items at the drug store and not from the dentist!!!! So it wasn't a "money making" deal for him!!
