Don’t Like to Floss? Tepe Brushes Effectively Clean Plaque From Teeth and Gums

Picture of different colored TePe toothbrushes with the words, Don't like to floss? Effectively clean gums & teeth with TePe toothbrushes.

If flossing your teeth every night is a chore you’d rather avoid, you’re not alone. Delta Dental reports that fewer than half of Americans floss that often, and 20% do not floss at all. Among the excuses: It’s too difficult, and it hurts.

But brushing your teeth twice a day, as recommended, isn’t enough. Your toothbrush can’t reach all the spaces between the teeth that harbor plaque and bacteria. Plaque that remains on the teeth is what causes tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Flossing correctly once a day helps disrupt the process that allows plaque to form, but the resistance to flossing is hard to overcome. Because removing plaque is so essential to the health of your teeth, and to your overall wellness, we offer our patients an additional option: Tepe interdental brushes.

New toothpaste rids your teeth and gums of dangerous plaque

Livionex Tooth Oral Care

It’s not often a new toothpaste comes out on the market that is so different from traditional toothpastes, and such an improvement over them, that we are motivated to recommend it. But now there is one.

Livionex Dental Gel is much more than a toothpaste – it’s a major oral health breakthrough. Regular brushing with Livionex not only gets your teeth sparkling clean but virtually eliminates plaque – the primary cause of tooth decay and gum disease. It also reduces gum inflammation and bleeding and remineralizes your teeth faster than conventional toothpaste.

Livionex was formulated after extensive research and its effectiveness has been confirmed in several studies. In one, Livionex reduced plaque 12 times as effectively as another popular toothpaste, decreased gum inflammation four times as effectively and reduced bleeding by more than 75 percent.

The difference between Livionex and traditional toothpastes is its ingredients. Traditional toothpastes use detergents and abrasives to remove plaque, and some anti-gingivitis toothpastes contain antimicrobials to lessen the bacteria in the plaque. However, as Livionex points out on its website, the prevalence of gingivitis proves these toothpastes are not doing a good job of keeping your mouth bacteria-free. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reports nearly half of adults have some form periodontitis.

In contrast, Livionex gel contains no abrasives or detergents (no foam!). Its active ingredient is activated edathamil, which is released by the pressure of your toothbrush to penetrate even hard-to-reach plaque as you clean your teeth. It works not by scrubbing the plaque off your teeth but by interrupting the ability of plaque to adhere to the teeth. The concentrations of activated edathamil are high enough to effectively control plaque as no other toothpaste does yet not harm tooth enamel.

Why is controlling plaque so important?

You already know plaque can cause tooth decay and gum disease, but you may not realize the inflammation of periodontal disease is associated with other medical conditions, including diabetes, heart disease and loss of bone in the jaw. It is essential for your overall health that you keep oral plaque to a minimum.

A tube of Livionex is expensive, but you use only a pea-size amount each time you brush. And the cost of the toothpaste doesn’t compare with the expense you may incur for dental work needed to restore your inflamed gums or replace lost teeth.

Finding a new dentist on yelp, why not?!  After reading all the reviews, I made an appointment.  Even with all the stunning reviews, I was shocked to get an appointment so quickly.  I was just going in for a cleaning, but it had been a while since my last one.

Upon arriving, I was not only impressed with the look of the office (very Victorian) but how courteous the receptionist was, not to mention the rest of the staff.  I was immediately taken to one of the exam rooms, without having to wait or fill anything out.  (I had used their online system to send in my patient history, which made everything so much quicker.)

The exam was very thorough, and everyone was very gentle.  This was by far my best dental experience, and while I’m not rushing to get back there,  at least I know, my teeth will be very well cared for when these is a need.

I’ve already received many compliments on my smile because of the difference the office of Dr. Lamberton has made.  Thanks!

Testimonials

Very impressed with the professionalism of this dental office.  Not only is the office gorgeous, but the staff is all extremely friendly.  Whereas a prior dentist informed me I had two cavities that needed filling, Dr. Lamberton performed his very thorough exam and did not find any problems. I’m always concerned that dentists are not honest and recommend dental work that is truly not needed.  I felt very comfortable that I was getting the truth from Dr. Lamberton.  I will be a patient for life!
