Excellent video!!! Another great use of Real Salt!
Thanks good man! Agree, yet another fantastic application of @RealSalt!
Perfect! I just purchased this unit and decided to search videos on how to use a waterpik. Your video came up and I will now add my Redmond sea salt to it as well. Thank you for that idea.
Can't wait to use this! Just ordered! Was researching and found your video. I'm a regular subscriber, but apparently this is a video I missed!
Dude you always have excellent content.
I just ordered this for my two teen daughters to use. Both have braces. One is having her wisdoms pulled as I type and I knew this would be good for cleaning her post surgery gums, plus daily.
Thank you.
You’re a “Jack of all health trades man.”
Thanks Mike for continuing to educate us on how to stay healthy .. from our mouths to our minds to our guts to our breathing to nutrition to just about everything else. You and your channel are wonderful and a free education!!! I am 64 and have had 10 years of health challenges but continue on my quest of getting healthier and stronger. Interestingly and sadly I have had dental issues since I was a kid. And even in my 60s I still get cavities I’ve had root canals ,extractions ,crowns you name it. The good news is I’ve been told that my hygiene is great and my gums are in good shape but my teeth continue to give me grief. And I’ve come to think that my mouth/teeth has been a big contributing factor to other health problems🦷🤕😩. I do have a water pick but I will switch over to your suggested one.
Thank you again Mike you are a really good human… super smart too🙏
Studies find that EMF and fluoride damage dental cells and lead to cavities and periodontal disease, as friendly microbial systems are put out of balance. Salt helps much. I could never find a pic that could handle salt without it wearing out too fast. Hopefully the "Flosser" model will suffice. UA-cam blocks my links, but you could find "Fluoride causes periodontal disease"
Thanks Mike just got the same waterpik
about a month ago, will start adding the real salt, thanks again for this video
I am giving you an honest review after seeing this video some two weeks back.
It really works!!
O and I am a dentist and I recommend this to my patient with refractory gingivitis which is pretty non responsive to conventional drug therapy. Most of these patients have low glucose tolerance too.
Would it be more effective if add some hydrogen peroxide to the salt water ?
Hi Mike, greetings from Luxembourg :-) Thank you for this, I'll definitely check it out. Ever since your podcast about mouth taping I have been sleeping that way and I feel I sleep much better as a result. So I'm sure this will be very helpful as well. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for that, Em! Hope this helps
Thank you so much, Matt. Going to get one right now.
Great video!! My wife has a water pick and I have never tried it... going to try tonight with some good salt! Thanks again Mike.
I was lucky enough to find a waterpik 30 years ago. I have never had a cavity since. I swear by this device. I will now start using it with salt as well :)
Thanks for your insightful video. I just purchased a waterpik a few days ago for the first time so I'm still learning. I normally would rinse with salt anyway, but after seeing your video, I ordered the salt you suggessted from Amazon. 🙂Always appreciate learning new things on youtube!
really appreciate your videos - always informative...
Thanx 4 the info, Mike!
Since I use it, I don't have to floss anymore. I have not flossed for 4 years. My hygienist says my gums are in excellent shape. I have no cavities. Instead of salt I just use a splash of the cheapest dental antiseptic. Sonic brush after flossing. Mouthwash. The result--tripple clean.
nice do you brush teeth at all? and if you do what do you brush with? thanks
@@sugarlife485 - Did you read the comment?
I thought my flosser was broken. I watched your video and realized I forgot to attach a piece. Thank you
Mike - total side note, seeing you have the Breville Barista Express, would love to hear your take on it. Been shopping this same machine and would love to get a real world review from someone who's known to be rationale when examining the facts. Thanks Mike!!
Wow thanks so much for this info !! I need so much help for my teeth and gums
Excellent Podcast 🙂👍
I have that waterpik also...it's wonderful. Never thought about adding the Real Salt which is such a great idea.
Hope it helps!
I also add iodine...
I'm so glad you made this video Mike. I was just thinking that I need to start having better mouth Hygiene!! 👊
Appreciate it brother, oral health is so key!!
Great video & good info..
Great review! I'm definitely getting one now ☆☆☆ Hello from Texas ☆
Hope you enjoy!
I put peroxide and plax in my water pik and it works like a charm....I'm 49 and still have my teeth ....I had the old one too and upgraded to that exact one you have. Trust me, I'm a caregiver and all the elderly I took care of that had all their teeth even at age 90, used the water pik !!!! Its key to heathy gums and teeth
Lol. Why on earth wouldn't you have your teeth, at age 49?? My parents are around 70,and still have their teeth, obviously. They don't use any water flosser. I m in my mid 40s, and love my water pik. I m pretty sure I d still have my teeth, regardless 😂
Mike, are you psychic or something? I just learned about water flossers a few days ago and I just got back from my dental hygienist and totally forgot to ask her about them. Now I'm pretty sure I need one because my treatment hurt like never before, I was bleeding a lot and I'd probably been walking around with inflamed gums for more than 6 months. Time to take action! Thanks for making people aware of the Waterpik flosser. I think they may be a life saver to many.
I’ve just begun seeing the dentist again after COVID and three months ago I had X-rays and a root canal. From the X-rays I could see the tartar buildup on my teeth. I decided to do something about it so after I did a bit of research, I bought a waterpik. As a matter of fact, I have this exact unit and the difference In my dental visit in 3 months was amazing! I didn’t tell my dentist that I bought one but they could see the difference in my gums and the amount of plaque on my teeth from this visit and the last.
I hadn’t had a cleaning in more than 3 years and they expected that I was going to need a deep cleaning which would have taken place over two session but the cleaning I had lasted less than 30 minutes with the tech telling me that there wasn’t much buildup at all!
I absolutely hate that I wasn’t told by my dentist to buy one of these long before b/c the Waterpik works wonders! I highly recommend that you get one!
Did u only use water ?
@@wJxcob I’ve had one for 2 months and the difference in my teeth is night and day, I only use water… get one and start with strictly water, if you’re getting great results stick with water✌🏾
Why would a dentist tell you to buy one? They are living off your cavities - "drill, fill, bill" - is their daily mantra. I bet they hate Waterpik, while using it themselves :)))
Great video! ( per usual)
Any suggestions as too how to add peroxide? How much?😀
Just FYI, the tip you demoed is called the pik pocket and should never go above a 2 in terms of power. Otherwise, you can truly hurt your gums. Fine with all other tips to be at 6 or so. Most pik pockets tips have a modulator such that you cannot go above 2, but then you’re straining the motor.
Does the machine or tips spray water out? How does the device work?
Hey Mike, using Celtic salt, liquid probiotics and bicarb in the water with the water flosser absolutely revolutionised and turned around my and my partner’s health.
I’m super jazzed to watch this video 😊 does the salt not mess up the machine? Similar to when a Keurig gets mineralized.
I have this very water flosser but never used salt. Will add that tonight. Do you think the temperature of the water matters? Growing up, my mother always recommended warm water and salt for any problem inside the mouth.
Time window eating helps a lot with keeping your mouth clean.
Thank you for this video!
Could you quickly explain (or direct me to a video you maybe already made) how to use salt for oral hygiene?
Thank you so much
I’ve used inexpensive drug store hydrogen peroxide as a mouth wash for years, and it helps to whiten teeth, plus in my waterpik. Will have to try adding salt.
Dean - I’ve read that using hp can loosen amalgam fillings, so beware, if anyone has any of those.
@@nadogrl Dilute that HP, just a few drops, I suspect it lead to the greying of my teeth.
Salt and flossing is OLD NEWS. But nobody ever listens.
I am today years old of learning of this... I'm getting it!
Good video. Is warm saltwater better than non-alch. List*rine? I read long-term use of salt "everyday" (vs. healing from a cut) effects the PH in a potentially negative way. Salt also dries things out right? Your mouth needs the correct amount of moisture or cavities can form. If you disagree, how much sea salt do you recommend in a 600ml tank- just a pinch? I think the real key is consistency- brush, floss 2x a day is winning. Rinse with water after eating, drinking most of the time. Basic common sense. In what order to you Floss, water floss, brush, gargle?
Great topic. I have your old waterpik and have used it for years. But I use a little hydrogen peroxide in my water instead of salt... before bed every night.
great idea
I have the older Waterpik model to your left. The reservoir does come off. Also it also has a button on the handle that prevents it from spaying everywhere until you put it in your mouth. They really haven't changed Waterpiks except cosmetically for over 50 years. My parents bought our first Waterpik in 1972 and they've always had a removable reservoir. It didn't have a on/off button on the handle but all you had to do is not hit the on/off bar on the unit until you put the pik in your mouth. It's a great invention but nothing new.
I brush with sea salt, baking soda, & coconut oil. Mixed together all the same equal parts. I have whiter reeth. Hardly any bacteria etc.
I mix xylitol with water ,Sometimes hydrogen peroxide. Everyone should use water pik for oral hygiene.
Have you ever heard about Nadine Artimus. She is the founder of Living Libations. She wrote a GREAT book about the importance of Oral Hygiene and process of the best oral health. You should have her on your show!
Nice video. What kind of toothpaste do you use?
Great topic and video. How would you compare rinsing your mouth with warm water and Redmond Salt vs. the Waterpik Flosser and Real Salt?
Victor Naranjo Do both!
I use Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide,
I also love the Real Salt company but I cannot fully dissolve the salt in even HOT water - it contains a small amount of hard (light orange colored) particles that seem insoluble even when ground as fine as possible. I have put a portion of the RS in a glass measure, adding boiling water then stirring and finally pouring off the top leaving the hard deposits behind in the bottom of the measuring cup. Thus I have Real Salt solution without the real hard bits! (Little more work, though.) So my easy solution is either Kosher salt, Eden sea salt or NeilMed Sinus Rinse packets. And it definitely helps to clean out the Waterpik occasionally (per manufacturer instructions) to keep hard water deposits from choking the device eventually. JUST SAYIN’
I've found the ancient fine salt works well with this device!
Love the new Pik model! 😍 (I too have sprayed water everywhere with my older Pik model.😬)
A cordless model can be used for traveling
Do you always use the pic pocket tip? If so that does need to be on lower pressure. Just wondering. Thanks for the video. Just got my water pic because my dentist said I'm getting gum disease.
After brushing, I put pink salt, xylitol, mint oil, and tree tea oil in my water pik and it make my mouth feel much cleaner.😀😀
Thank you sir. ❤
Can I use plain old table salt instead?
I watch this video mid March and purchased one. It came today April 3rd, I just used it this evening with a few drops of trace minerals, calcium carbonate and Redmond salt. My mouth felt soooooo clean. I dont even want to eat😂😂😂😂
As per my idea we must dissolve the salt separate in warm water and add to the water. Tank chamber..i like bit more warmer than lukewarm, and make sure it doesn't burn my gums...
*Good video Mike. What are your thoughts on coconut oil pulling?*
its great except you do not need to do it for 30 minutes thats krazy I do it everyday for 5 minutes or so...made a huge difference...now Im also pulling with wheat grass
I like my waterpick alot too, it's not just you. How much salt you put in. I started puttin 1/8 to 1/4 tsp of baking soda and it make a big difference, try it.
Any opinion on oil pulling? I do it daily with coconut oil.
Instead of taping the mouth. What about a jaw sling (used to lift the mouth shut)...I have seen them advertised for saggy neck....or double chin
I’ve been doing baking soda in the water pik for years, same thing?
Just today I got the H20 floss waterflosser. Looks ALOT like yours AND it has 2 nasal irrigators tips!!! Could I use real salt for them?
Couldn't I also use Himalayan pink salt?
Many years ago there was a UA-cam video called Bad Bugs 003 or something. I think its gone now. He showed how to set up the waterpik with baking soda, sea salt, and iodine. I have to start doing that again! Can't find that link!
009 bad bugs...still available!
Mike how we can white our teeth naturally
Thanks
What was the name of the aligner you had sucess with, to help your daughter's teeth and jaw? I am trying to find the video with no luck.
This video was a year ago, I have seen cordless ones, have you tried one? or do you still hae this one
A few years ago I was in a obstacle course training and sometimes we had to get close to people and some lady a smoker had real bad breath and it permeated everywhere. I left the training that afternoon bought an electric toothbrush and a water flosser. I got self conscious about my breath after whiffing that coworkers bad breath. It was a good choice. I go to the dentist and my oral hygiene is not bad. Sometimes I feel bad breath coming from my tongue and I try to clean it but sometimes it makes me nauseous so I can’t mess with it too much. I lost that waterfloser when moving into my new house and recently decided to buy a new one. I have a bit of gingivitis and I want to reverse it. Thanks for the video
Studies are now saying using Water Pik improves oral and gum health better then flossing! I still use both but there is nothing more satisfying then a water flosser!
What about using hydrogen peroxide in the water pic? Like a little bit? Mix with water
try stirring the salt in another container until it turns to liquid
Will salt deposit on the waterpik nozzle?
Waterpik always break on me. I went with the Panasonic portable ones which fold in half and the build quality is much better than Waterpik. So far it's out lasted my last 3 Waterpiks.
Really?? I've had mine for years and it works great.
What is the benefit of adding the salt? I just got a waterpik and I’m loving it! I didn’t realize I could add anything to the water.
Helps prevent bacteria from growing
breaks down bio film and kills some of the bad bacteria
Is salt detrimental to the unit over time? Also do you keep mildew from forming? I've seen some people complaining about that. Maybe just run the pump for a bit after the water empties from the reservoir, tubing and wand? Thanks
I think that salt steers natural microbial ecology towards friendly microbes (which are a large natural array). The gums normally cultivate such an ecology for scavenging and protection from unfriendly microbes. Like pickling saline solutions do and the "stinking rot' is avoided.
I used too much salt and now I clogged it! How do I un-clog the machine?
Does it really get in between the gum and teeth?
Hi, thanks a lot for your suggestions. I was wondering: would adding a bit of vinegar help to reduce the bacteria and soften the water to avoid clogging? Say a Tbs or two per fill?
No, no, no! Vinegar is acidic and will degrade your tooth enamel!!!
you can premix the solution in a separate container and than wait a few minutes and the heavier sediment will fall to the bottom and you can use the rest in your waterpik.
Don’t use vinegar on your teeth. Maybe a cap full of peroxide diluted in water
I bought some fine himalayan pink salt to go with my ION professional thanks
Can I used regular iodized table salt?
Do you use regular toothpaste & mouthwash along with the Waterpik? I recently cut out my Crest toothpaste and switched to brushing my teeth with sea salt, flossing, and using the Waterpik. I also found that my facial and throat swelling went away after I stopped using toothpaste. My teeth are a lot cleaner too, strangely enough.
I am for a more natural toothpaste, Crest etc... have some odd chemicals in there.
Naoki22 - check oil of oregano products (not just oregano e.o.). I use Zane Hellas or OraMD brands.
Which toothbrush do you use?
Hi Doctor! I never use anything even toothpick or dental floss to touch my gum because im afraid that can damage my gum or create spaces between teeth. Would waterpik safe to use for my gum?
Yes, just get it. Trust me it saved my teeth and gums especially if you are not a flosser you need it along with regular cleanings.
Is it ok to use salt in the flosser you recommend? Every flosser I have used salt water in, the salt corrodes it (even cleaning it between uses) and destroys the flosser?
Will any type of salt work?
I heard using iodine with it is better but have to be carefull the iodine eats through the plastic hose.
And stains your teeth bad .
Why don't you just put high concetrated saline solution instead of this? I use it in my waterpik and it does a great job. I also use it for nasal irigation. I tried salt water too for mouth rinse, also good, but not a better option in my opinion. You have to be carefull which salts you use and how you prepare it with water in the right ammount.
Do you have any information on where to find a holistic or integrative dentist. I’ve been trying to find one and haven’t had any luck. Thanks so much for your time.
Daynish4782 Google!
Local health food stores and restaurants in my area used to carry a free newsletter-type booklet (Natural News, maybe?) that included ads for local wellness practitioners- you could keep your eyes open for something along those lines. Otherwise, ask other wellness practitioners and, if an internet search doesn’t work then you can always look for dentists who are open about being fluoride-free offices. I’m just happy to have found an office that actually asks me if we want fluoride.
I tried the older version pic with salt and the salt shortened the life of the pic. Is this so with the new model?
Nice. You got 420k subs.
That all I have to say.
you might want to look into using a copper tongue-scraper - also irrigate with water from a copper cup...
Does copper make a difference?
@@yenchang2723 anti-microbial properties of copper
I only have coarse sea salt though but i will try
On top of salt I also add about a 1/2 cup of Hydrogen peroxide. 👍👍
Baking soda
1/2 cup?? I guess you don't mean 1/2 tsp...so...how do you keep up with buying so much? Hydrogen peroxide can be hard on gums and increase sensitivity.
carnation_cat I buy a two pack at sams club that are 32 oz. each for 1.50. And I buy two or three at a time it’s less than 5.00 and will last a long time. I don’t find it to be as harsh on my gums as some of the other antiseptic mouth wash’s plus it says right on the hydrogen peroxide bottle “oral rinse”
@@monicaadamson6727 that’s amazing I was wondering about the amount as well, thank you!
@@carnation_cat She's right it's a 1:1 ratio if you have a infection. If it's just maintenance than it's less 1:3 ratio. 1/2 tsp. in a waterik is not going to do anything.
I don't have a waterpik its another make but my dentist has noticed my teeth are so much better....😊 i can't floos because my bottom front teeth aren't straight and i never got it fixed when i was younger😣😣 but they are good
I got the travel one with that one from Costco
I use my water pick by making up 1000cc of warm water with 2 tablespoons of sole salt water and mixed 1% dilution of Hydrogen Peroxide.
I heard adding iodine to the water is supposed to be great as well? I need to get one asap
Waterpik says no to iodine.
Do you get x rays everytime you go in?
Do you use an electric toothbrush as well, or is a regular one just fine?
Good ??? I've had this Oral B for years: amzn.to/2QwHFvV It has three different heads so my wife, daughter etc... can use too!
If I use WATERPIK every day can I forgo flossing with dental floss ???
I'd love to see BEFORE and AFTER pictures of people's mouths from using it.
Warm water?
Mike, if you'd like to SIGNIFICANTLY intensify the saline solution without clogging or damaging the Waterpik pump, I can explain how I do so.
what do you do?
@@KillerofGods Chop the salt in a blender to turn it into a fine powder and place in a sealed container for storage.. Estimate the volume of warm water required to fill your Waterpik reservoir. The water should be as warm as you normally tolerate. Blend up to 1.5 tsp of your powdered salt into the warm water. This step MUST also be done in your blender - manual mixing absolutely WILL NOT WORK. Pour the resulting saline solution into your Waterpik reservoir and use as normal. The saline solution MUST be free of any crystals/ precipitation or you have done this incorrectly. FLUSH the machine with FRESH WATER after EVERY use.
@@keithforbes8482 Thank you!
@@KillerofGods Your very welcome!
Is it still useful (water+salt) for the teath - without using this machine?!
I think so! But for $60 you can use this every day for years and get more millage out of your oral hygiene routine!
You didn't say anything about the difference of water flossing vs water flossing with salt.
