Key takeaways

• Baseline Measurement: Before implementing any changes, it's crucial to establish baseline measurements for oral health, including pocket depth, attachment loss, plaque index, and gum bleeding tendency.
• Seven-Step Oral Care Routine:
  1. Water Pik: Used for high-pressure water stream to clean along the gum line.
  2. Expanding Floss: Utilizes thicker floss for increased plaque pickup compared to thinner strands.
  3. Electric Toothbrush with Soft Bristles: Preferred for better cleaning without harsh friction, with a recommendation to wait 30 minutes after eating before brushing.
  4. Tongue Scraper: Essential for cleaning the tongue, which can harbor bacteria and affect oral health.
  5. Xylitol Mouthwash: Used for freshening breath and before close contact with others or intimate moments.
  6. Bruxism Device (Sno Dent): A specialized device to arrest teeth grinding at night, preventing wear and attachment loss.
  7. Specialist Cleaning: Regular dental cleanings every six months for stain removal and assessment.
• Advanced Therapies: Beyond the daily routine, there are advanced therapies available on his website for specific oral health challenges.
• Daily Oral Health Habits: Key habits include avoiding sugar, being mindful of acidic liquids, and assessing for dry mouth conditions.
• Results: Bryan reports a 41% improvement in attachment loss and gums as healthy as a teenager's after implementing his routine.
