1. You should first floss your teeth regularly. Ideally it should be after every meal. The best floss would be the non waxed type.

2. Then you can use a dry Periodontal Health Brush (715-597-3935, I also have them in my office). Blot the brush at a 45 degree angle at the gum line about 20 times in each area around the mouth. Start behind the teeth first. You can rinse or snap dry the brush after each area to remove the bacteria and parasites.

3. You can keep your toothbrush clean by soaking it in a capful of hydrogen peroxide once a week. This is more than sufficient to kill the bacteria that normally accumulate in the brush.

4. Next, it would be helpful to use a Water Pik to remove any food particles that you might have missed with the above cleaning. This should also remove the bulk of the bacteria present on the surface of the gums and margins next to the teeth.

5 This step is one of the most important. Do NOT use regular toothpaste. Most of it has fluoride which clearly is a poison and not intended for human use. Instead use a mixture of six parts of baking soda to one part of Real Salt or Sea Salt. Place them in a blender and mix for 30 seconds then place in a container to use.

6. Wet the tip of your index finger and place a SMALL amount of the salt and soda mixture on the gums. Starting with the upper outside gums and then the inside of the upper, followed by the lower outside of the gums then the lower inside. Spit out the excess. After 15 minutes rinse your mouth. This mixture is incredibly effective at killing the bacteria and parasites that cause plaque. It is very important to improve periodontal health. Some dentist will even take a sample from your mouth and show you with a microscope the incredible difference prior to and after using this program and how it radically reduce the bacterial concentration in your gums. And healthy gums means less dental decay, a healthier body and less dental bills.
