Tom:

Ever since that serious tooth decay in age 12, I have decided to clean my teeth more often.  I brush many times daily.  I bring tooth brush and tooth paste with me.  However I did not floss regularly, and almost never irrigated.  My teeth bled when I brushed (or flossed).  Since it was not painful I didn't pay too much attention to it.  And then in 2005, at age 40,  one of my back tooth started to wiggle and the gum became swollen.  I was shocked!   After scraping the root my dentist declared that a surgery is required.  He  said the success rate is high, but I had a lot of doubts.   Dr. Nara was recommended by a post in Curezone.  I bought Dr. Nara's  e-book and started to brush, floss, irrigate, and use the salt/baking soda mixture mouth rinse.   

Within a week, all my teeth no longer bled when I brushed (or flossed).  This is unbelievable!  The bleeding has been there for so long that I can't remember.  I had no idea that it can be cured so quickly.  I was also surprised to see that irrigation can still clean things out (as Dr. Nara said), after what I thought to be rather thorough brushing and flossing.  I truly appreciate Dr. Nara's advice!   The tooth with the gum problem appears to be fine
after scraping/taking antibiotics. 

I appreciate my dentist for the emergency cure.  I did not undergo the surgery he recommended, though.   

The pockets may still be there but there is no infection
at this point.  I am responsible for the extra care required for the pockets to heal.  With the help of Dr. Nara's book and your webpage/newsletter, the chance of success is high. 

Now my irrigator (waterpik) is broken.  I bought a Braun but the tip is too large.  I hope ViaJet will be better and am planning to get one.  I do not live in the US and the shipping may be costly.  But the surgery will be more expensive (and less effective). 

I hope everyone can keep their teeth and  avoid the pain of unnecessary dental treatments.

Best Regards,
Sophia
