Dr. Tung's Ionic Toothbrush System with Replacement Head for Cleaner Whiter Teeth, Makes Teeth Repel Plaque! bringing healthy smiles naturally. Silent, Small and Ready-to-use IONIC Toothbrush

I received a Dr. Tung's toothbrush and 1 replacement head. The package has directions and FAQs. But let me back up and share that I have a history of at best once a year dental visits that usually go like this. "Your teeth look great, but you need to floss. You have a lot of tartar build up." So, I don't have bad teeth, but I always get chided on the bad tartar that builds up behind my lower middle teeth, which when I do floss is unmovable until dental visits. Well, I haven't been to the dentist in at least a year, so you can imagine my build up was pretty bad. I recently decided to look into natural dental care stuff. So I got the book, Holistic Dental Care, by Nadine Artemis, where she recommended an ionic toothbrush and complained that regular toothpaste is actually bad for your teeth. My curiosity was peaked, and I found Dr. Tung's ionic toothbrush and the Natural Dentist brand Peppermint Sage Healthy Teeth and Gums Fluoride-Free toothpaste. I ordered a dental cleaning tool kit, the Natural Dentist toothpaste, and the Dr. Tung's ionic toothbrush. The cleaning kit got here first. So, I took a stab at cleaning my own tartar off. As with any time I floss, my gums bled a lot at the slightest poke and prod. I was able to scrape off about 50% of the build up, but the other 50% stubbornly clung to my teeth. My bleeding gums begged me to give up, so I did. Then the Natural Dentist toothpaste got here. I have been using that for about 5 days or so. No big comment here. It didn't taste awful, it didn't taste as minty as I like, it seemed okay I guess. At that point until today, the verdict was still out on the toothpaste, especially as I read in my book that I shouldn't put glycerin on my teeth because it prevents them from remineralizing. Well, the toothpaste has glycerin as the first ingredient. Go figure!Well, I just got this Dr. Tung's toothbrush. I just used it, and I am completely stunned. First, I used it on teeth that hadn't been brushed since last night (and it is afternoon). I didn't use any toothpaste at all, just water. As I brushed, I didn't feel anything except down in my lower middle teeth where all the bleeding had happened about a week ago, I felt a slight, but distinct soreness as I brushed down there in that spot. I was hoping to see the rest of that 50% of tartar just fall off, but it didn't. I was starting to feel like I had been had by reviews and gimicky talk. After I brushed, I used my dental tools again to try for that last 50%, and sure enough it ALL came off. Not only that, but there was hardly any bleeding, which for me was just as surprising. All I can attribute that lack of bleeding to is the Natural Dentist toothpaste. I don't remember reading anything in ionic stuff about no bleeding. Anyways, after I scraped, I decided to brush my teeth with my regular toothbrush with the Natural Dentist toothpaste, and after I rinsed, WOW! My teeth felt squeaky clean, like when I get done at the dentist! I cannot believe it. I am running my tongue over my teeth and they feel so smooth, even in the back of them. I will probably be ordering these for Christmas presents this year.Due to the lack of bleeding, I plan to continue with the Natural Dentist toothpaste. Due to the tartar coming off, I plan on using this ionic toothbrush. I hope others have similar experiences.

So after years of experimentation during which a medical condition caused extensive root canals and the eventual loss of eight teeth, I have finally settled onto a regime that works well and without the need for fluoride. I tried several electric brushes, water pic and too many different brushes to count but neither my hygienist nor I were impressed with the results. Fortunately I hit the right combination before my case went before my local VA's implant board, had they not seen the improvement in hygiene the VA would have rejected my request for the six implants needed (the last two extractions were the recent result of teeth that had been too structurally weakened by years of previous work and fractured beneath their crowns - the last, a front tooth fractured in two at the gum leaving the crown intact when I bit into a breadroll that was still frozen in the center).This toothbrush is an integral part of a two toothbrush ritual. First I floss with Dr. Tung's Smart Floss. Then I use the Ionic brush without any paste, paying close attention to the teeth all the way in the back and tongue side of the two lower front teeth. I have finally broken the habit of pressing hard while brushing - all that is required is a light touch while making sure fingers stay moist with constant contact with both sides of the handle's metal plate. Then I switch to my ultra soft non- nylon brush which has a small head to give those back teeth the attention they deserve. The bristles are so much softer than nylon, are gentle on aging gums and enamel, and can get into tight spaces between teeth, around implants and under bridges. At night I use an herbal tooth and a coconut oil based remineralizing paste which I use in the morning as well. Instead of fluoride mouthwash I use an black walnut, myrr and oregano based mixture. My gums have firmed up and we did not have to do the tissue grafts that were originally called for. So yes I'm very pleased with this brush. Now if only they would design an ionic interdental device! The battery has lasted over six years on my current brush and the heads get replaced every few months. I usually pull out the head after a month or so and scrape off the mineral build up off the post.
