Hello welcome to -- dog I'm Dr.
-- more than 75%.
Of adults in the US have some form of gum disease.
But these conditions are completely preventable now joining me now -- -- -- shall remain CEO of any -- ink to talk about a new technology that is changing the way we care for our teeth.
Thank you for being here.
Thanks you know we as as doctors we keep talking about dental hygiene has been sort of one of the pillars that can prevent a lot of things from -- -- You know heart attacks and inflammation in the arteries miscarriages so I'm very aware of that.
Technology changes but I've been told that you've got the hottest thing on the market the -- Tell me about the any -- ultrasonic toothbrush yes the Emmy -- -- -- sonic toothbrush is.
A new device in the United States it's been available in Europe.
For quite some time and it's the first toothbrush which runs 100% -- ultrasound so that ultrasound cleans.
You do not have to brush so it's -- no brushing toothbrush.
I know that you know technically when you go for a dental cleaning.
There are devices that the dentists use which are sort of in -- to sonic and in power and that this -- that you were able to break the target.
Is this the idea behind the technology it's basically the some -- concept although we use micro.
Waves that have a significantly less -- -- just enough to kill the bacteria.
In your -- malls in your -- on the tees.
So that you don't destroy the the -- though the enamel and to basically don't harm you all you all.
-- system we -- know so it let me say it is so if I was comparing let's say.
The typical run of the mill toothbrush yes right which is just to brush and you.
It's it's physical force whether it goes like this weather goes in rotation.
-- argument is that the sound waves or the sort of the old to sonic waves are far superior.
Yes they are -- puree.
You have to see two things first of all.
All of -- toothbrushes.
You'll basically scraping away the bacteria some of the bacteria resides on the bristles.
And comes back the next time you use them not really completely destroyed with the ultrasound -- have so much.
Energy that is basically destroying the membranes -- the bacteria and therefore.
They're completely destroyed and does appear with the most ruins or.
Just simply -- thousands of small pieces and that's the benefit of only ultrasound so you must have an ultrasonic.
Toothbrush.
-- ultrasonic chip which is now a case of -- dent in the brush heads.
And then you can really kill the bacteria and the ultrasound the beauty of that and this is why it's a superior system.
It's penetrating the -- it's not just cleaning whether bristles goes but it really goes through the hole to shoot -- and -- pockets.
And also because it's the no brushing toothbrush you don't have to move -- brush head you don't the break you don't destroy the -- a few law.
-- he would -- -- what's the feedback and what kind of studies have been publishing mean if I were to ask dentists yes I'm sure that.
You know you didn't come up with this yourself.
-- you know that you probably had a lot of input from a lot of dental especially as the doctors.
What's the feedback what what what is the loop that we could tell people that.
What studies have been done -- what is the dental community how's the dental community we see the receiving this.
Well first of all the -- company has done studies with several universities in Europe.
And they have proven the results.
The the uptake from the -- community is great because it's that the study's -- and from what we are saying that we are reducing and killing bacteria dramatically.
In the in the malls.
And on the tees in the gonna set draw.
And the dentist love it because they they give it to even some of their patients would would shift problems that no all of our.
Oral hygiene.
Device can actually help them with and and they give and -- -- To those patients -- -- 2345.
Days these -- obviously have less problems in some cases completely no problems no inflammation.
That press.
Tooth whitening the stains disappear immediately after two or three days of their immediately visible benefits it -- any possible -- risk of side effects.
No side effects to move the UME dentists and -- since 2004 and you're up from thousands and tens of thousands of people.
No side effects what -- -- -- you know now if people have the dental and plans.
Can -- be using -- source of -- oral cavities.
Definitely the -- -- ultrasound doesn't destroy it.
The teeth and gum and doesn't destruct us tactics or implants it's actually helping them it's -- for protection insurance because.
With implants or was -- tactics bacteria can quickly hide and we are taking those bacteria kill them and destroy them so you really have a clean up.
-- what about children.
No problems with children we even have a special children brush at which a small so they can -- -- as well.
And one of the things we that we feel.
A lot of benefit for patience.
There is the them those special brush -- for braces you can actually -- -- braces.
Even where you couldn't clean them because this bacteria on I don't know why -- -- the -- and that's particularly for children -- for parents carrying about a dozen lives and affect now I know a toy like this is a little expensive.
How much is it.
The -- Denton is that costing 118 non US -- was you can get that on the -- -- dot com web -- or you can Austria dentists and also I guess a lot of dances here in the US are now utilizing this.
And -- giving out to the patients who.
You know you may want to talk to you don't dialogue especially us about that.
Yes all right well it sounds good I wanna try it you should all right I'll tell you how it feels in about six months I'll get you back here you have immediate effect from Barak thank you very -- you Rhode -- -- I did you have any health problems you wanna talk to me about email me your -- said doctor may have functions dot com until next time I'm document.
