does this work well below the gum line for sub gingival calculus?

I find this to instrument to clean very well. I do go below the gum line, as I have periodontal disease. But it is very sharp so be careful and scrape gently. We can never reach calculus as well as a dental hygienist! Just work in conjunction with your dentist.

I just use it to did stuff out my teeth it's very sharp so I keep it away from my gums.it will scrap away whatever you want it to even enamel so be careful.

Yes that is what I use it for and so far it has seriously reduced the need for my dental hygienist to spend much time scraping my teeth.

In some ways better than gloss; in others not as good. It avoid problem of getting floss stuck between teeth. Can flush out some things floss doesn't. Can make gums bleed if you're not careful with your aim. It's definitely easy to use. I'm still not sure whether it's better or not. Need more time; have only used it 5 -6 times so far

Yes, my wife's had some episodes with gingivitis where her teeth would be very loose, and after using this on a regular basis for a week or so, her gums tightened up tremendously. I've also had a couple of times where I'd gotten an cavity and it would cause an abcess to appear. With using it for 2-3 days, the infection was entirely gone.

This device goes between your teeth and across the front of your bottom teeth. It should not interfere with Invisalign

I wouldn't think so.I don't have thick gums but these cause to make the gum line above the upper lip to protrude.

Yes: 1) regular, 2) lower vibration, and 3) lower vibration with a pulse every second or so- silly setting called "gum massage." I really like mine, and it is a much better deal than the one made by Phillips.

Someone told me to use dental floss and slowly go back and forth while someone pulls the strip down. I've never done it before, but it sounds like it might work. Just be careful! Good luck!!!

Yes absolutely. Works great. Plus it's much more sensitive because it doesn't have the stretch like most line does so you can feel every bite you get.

I use it in addition to flossing. I use mouthwash and it gets the gum line in addition to a large gap I have between two crowns that floss don't seem to clean out entirely.

Yes. This product is just for the whitening gel and remineralization gel. It would be best to get the trays done at the dentist to ensure the trays go all the way to the gumline. Im not sure, but maybe a good at home kit will work too. Paired with good trays, this whitening gel is the most effective and cost effecient way to whiten your teeth!

Yes. I tried on the lower denture. I'm new at this so my swelling is going down daily. It helps in that it is soft and so any bone fragments from the extractions are more comfortable and I can now keep them in without being in constant pain but as far as holding them in. No that doesn't happen.

Absolutely not. This is just used to clean your gums and get food particles from between your teeth.

not sure. i used it on a very sore gum without a problem. as to you're hot tongue, i had this problem a long time ago and it turned out to be a tooth abcess. dr. ran all kinds of blood tests and nothing showed up. abcess finally burst through the gum. hope that's not your problem, but i had a very hot tongue, but just down one side.

In my opinion, no. The bristles are pretty stiff and sometimes make my gums a bit sore (I tend to brush harder than I should though too).

Hello Anas,Somebody already answered your question, but I would like to add that you should be careful when using the "floss action" head. It works great, but can push back the gum line if you overdo it. I like to alternate between the different heads so that I don't use the same one all the time.Enjoy!

Not at all. My gums were sore and scratched from the hard plastic guards. After you boil and cut the ends off to fit your mouth, the rounded edges on the ends are gone. There are blood stains are my pillow from the drooling because these guards did not fit correctly. The plackers guard has allowed my gums to heal. I wear the thin strip on my bottom teeth just because it feels more comfortable for me. It took me one night to get accustomed to the new, very-much-smaller mouth guard and it is never tight. I can lay on my stomach with my hand under my mouth or on my side with my hand under my chin and I can't even feel the plastic strip. It stays in place throughout the entire night. Hope this helps.
