Breeze away gum disease at your sink with RediBreeze (permanent faucet attachment). Attach it to your faucet once; use it forever. With its EZ-breeze design you can breeze or run tap water with the simple flip of a switch.

Great Oral Irrigator
The RediBreeze Oral Irigator is a great device. It does not clog when you have hard water and is quiet in operation with a strong and adjustable flow.

So Convenient and Handy
This is great. I hooked it to my faucet and put the tubing under the handles up to my tooth brush holder. It is a permeate fixture and so easy to use. After I brush my teeth and get the water warm, I turn on the valve and use the water pick. This can also be used in traveling by un-doing it and it is so small to pack. It fits on most all faucets. Who ever came up with this idea is a genius. Simple, small and convenient to use. I love it! gracalieRediBreeze Oral Irrigator dental water jet

Best irrigator!
I have used irrigators for 25 years. I have tried WaterPik, Oral B, Panasonic. This is the best and it does not need AC or batteries. An added plus is that it is easy to clean and takes up almost no counter space.

Redi-Breeze Oral irrigator
The oral breeze is easy to attach to your faucet. No more tanks to fill, pumps to break or leak or get moldy. Very refreshing and the ease of use facilitates frequent use and healthy teeth and gums. Great invention.

Don't hesitate...get this one
We had a very pricey water pick, which we bought from our dentist. We were in the process of moving to another state, never used it. A year later, we finally took it out of the box, it lasted about 4 months (we did not use it daily) before the pump wore out, real nice for a $120, yeah, I'm still bitter. My husband wanted another one and started doing some research when he came across RediBreeze and the glowing reviews here. This was less expensive than the others we were looking at and figured why not? It has no motor/pump to fail on us. We love it. First, no noise; silence, peaceful, especially before you go to bed. The pick is always attached to the faucet, just a matter of turning a switch, so simple it is brilliant. I use this more often than I did the other one. After brushing one's teeth, adjust water flow first (you don't want to blast your teeth away), insert pick, turn switch, and enjoy your mouth massage. So happy the other one died....

water pik
This waterpik is very helpful in getting at the bits of food that your toothbrush misses.The only problem is that it is hard to see when it is empty & needs re-filling.

Good idea, bad plan...
While this is a good idea, a hand-held version of the popular water-pik, this implementation could have used more work. On the unit I purchased, the nozzle-tip will not stay in the unit. This is likely because there is only one small catch to hold the nozzle-tip. The 'classic' water-pik hand-unit has four catches. Without the additional holders the nozzle may pop-off into the mouth and create a choking hazard. Another design issue is the small reservoir - I doubt I could finish my entire set of teeth without multiple fill-ups. Guess I should just break down and buy a replacement 'classic' water-pik.

Fixing your Waterpik's "Battery" Problem
I have had two rechargable Waterpiks. Both had the same problem. After about 5 or 10 months the unit gradually loses the ability to charge up. Most users assume that the battery became defective.
I really need this thing so I decided to look into it and found that the battery in each case was fine. What happens is that the connector on the charging cable gradually deteriorates. This might be due to getting wet repeatedly combined with corrosion and deposits. The inside of the female part of the connector gets get eaten away and actually gets larger in diameter. The electrical connection deteriorates and finally becomes unusable. As a result the battery no longer gets recharged.
I found that the "AdaptaPlug" connector system available at Radio Shack has the same pin diameter and pin spacing. By whittling some plastic away I made a better connector from the Radio Shack parts and now the Waterpiks work like new.
The part numbers of the Radio Shack connectors needed are: Male: 273-1742 Female: 273-1743

Bad product.
Don't waste your money on this thing. The battery does not hold a charge. The operation is poor. Mine died after less than a year. Waterpik should be ashamed to have put this on the market. But some other brand...like the Panasonic EW-1270.

Cordless Waterpik Disappoints!
I've owned this product for nearly six months. The manufacturer claims the battery should last a week, but for the last month or so I've had to charge it before each use. Even with that, the flow of water poops out before I finish. In addition to the weak battery, the tip release, on and off buttons are very close to each other, making it likely that you'll have unexpected results when trying to push the appropriate one. More than once I've had water squirting around the bathroom because of the design. On the plus side, it is astonishing how much gunk the product removes, even after brushing. My advice... the idea is great, but get one that plugs in!

Works like a champ
Some Listerine and a WaterPik keep the dentist off of my back. This one is easy to use and holds enuf water so that I don't have to refill it very often.

Questions & Answers
Question : What can a future dental hygiene student do to increase chances of employment after graduation?
Say I am applying for a job in a dental office...what would make one candidate stand out from another, especially if you don't have much experience yet? Additional certifications perhaps?
Although there will be plenty of jobs available for dental hygienists, I would like to obtain any skills or training that would help me get a position in my top choices of dental offices. Any advice?
Thanks : )
Answer:
Often community service stands out for some employers. But honestly, depending on your location, it's the luck of the draw.
If hygienists are plentiful and doctors can "take their pick" vs if there are few hygienists and many local openings is more indicative of how you will obtain your first position. Once you get to know the community and the dentists you will figure out who you would want to work for. Networking with your fellow local hygienists and keeping up with the changes in other offices will help you find ideal employment
Unfortunately many offices are not so excited about keeping up with the "hygiene technology", unless you get into a perio office, which would be a great opportunity right out of school.
good luck

Question : Is it better to do a year in dental assistant class then go in to dental hygiene?
This year I will be appling for the dental assistant course at durham college. I don't want to become the assistant I'm hoping to do a year of this course so I have a better chance to get in to the hygiene program. Do you think this will help my chance to get in, instead of starting in to the hygiene program right out of high school.
Answer:
Apply for both if you can get directly into the dental hygienist program.
If you don't get in, then go ahead and do the dental assistant class.
What is most important is that you have your pre-req's and good grades...if your dental hygiene program is not lottery based like the nursing programs are, then you'll benifit from a preceptership or internship at a local dentist. Also any extra classes you can apply to it, such as medical terminology or whatever.
But yeah if you are eligible now and have all your pre-reqs...it certainly wouldn't hurt to try.

Question : How long is the wait list for Dental Hygiene in CA?
Preferably, I'd like to know if you currently applied to Dental Hygiene school in California and how long your wait is projected to be.
If not currently or not CA, please answer anyway, I'd like to know an average.
Any recommendations from graduates and newcomers? I'm barely starting to get my classes completed for my Associates so I can apply next year, any advice is more than appreciated! (Like when to start applying, things to know, etc)
Thank you in advanced!!!
Answer:
It would not be an issue of a waiting list but whether or not you would be accepted (high competition -- focused on applicant's GPA.). Best wishes.

Question : Can you only get a degree in dental hygiene if?
My friend wants to get an associates degree in dental hygiene because she wants to be a dental hygienist. We looked but we only found bachelor degree programs for dental hygiene.
She already has a degree in dental assisting and has a job doing so for like a year now actually...
Is there no associates degree programs for dental hygiene or are there only bachelor degree programs?
Answer:
Most community colleges offer associates degrees, which is what your friend is looking for.

Question : What level of math is good enough to do well in the dental hygiene program?
I am currently in 11th grade and taking Algebra 2 with an A in that class, I am thinking of taking Pre-Cal during the summer so I can do Calculus for my senior year if it helps me get into that program or do well. Do you think Calculus is an important necessity for the dental hygiene program or will Pre-Cal be good enough?
Answer:
You really do not need math for dental hygiene. Dental hygiene is a science based profession so you will need to do well in science. However, if you plan on attending school to be an actual DDS then you will need several math classes. They do endo (root canals) and are required to know how to calculate certain measurements. Math is NOT my best subject and I have made it through hygiene just fine but you do have to know your science. Most colleges only require that you take a beginners math class for your BS degree and that is it. I only had to take like algebra 131 (or whatever the course number for the beginning math class) I hope you know that you have chosen a good career! Hygiene is VERY financially rewarding. I am in my last semester of my hygiene program (after the Christmas break) and I cant wait.
Good luck and "good cleaning"..:-)

Question : What would be a good gift for a dental hygiene student?
She is graduating with her AA and I want to get a gift that would be helpful upon entering dental hygiene school.
Answer:
How about one of those smocks that they wear? In general for graduates, I suggest: a laptop carrying case/bag, an organizer, a web cam if she's going far away so you can chat and see each other, flash drives, lots of little helpful things such as:
pens
textbook page markers (plastic flags)
high lighters

Question : ?Dental Hygiene?
My fiance is a dental hygienist. I have been told that you can't open a dental hygiene clinic in Texas. We wanted to open a office that did cleanings only, without a dentist. Can anyone confirm or deny the laws surronding an office of this nature in Texas?
Answer:
Hi, I'm a dentist.
A dental hygienist must practice under a dentist's license in almost every state in the union. I believe the exception is rural parts of one of the Dakotas and possibly Alaska as well for the Inuit population, as there are very few dentists in that area. Don't count on your fiance ever being able to do this. The American Dental Association spends a lot of money and time lobbying against independent hygiene clinics, and for good reason.
Not what you wanted to hear, no doubt, but it's the truth.

Question : Is the Utah College of Dental Hygiene worth it?
I want to go to Dental Hygiene School but I dont want to leave the State really. weber state and Utah valleys Dental hygiene programs are both supposed to be really difficult to get in to. UCDH lets in more students then either of those but is also more expensive. In the end on a Dental Hygiene Salary I will be able to pay it off but I just dont know if its worth it.
Answer:
Yes it is worth it

Question : What would happen if I do the Dental Hygiene program and fail the state test?
I know that after doing the Dental Hygiene program, I would have to take the Dental Hygiene National Board Examinations and the California State Licensing Examination, but what happen if I fail both test? Can I still work as a Dental Hygienist or do I have to start on a new major? Also, should I apply to Foothill college or Cabrillo College (both school are in California) for a good Dental Hygiene Program?
Answer:
In Arizona (where I live) you can actually work without a license as a Dental hygienist in a federal setting (such as VA hospital, prison, base...etc) You do have to have a DH degree though... Check out if it's true in your state. You can usually find this info in the packet you have to study for your jurisprudence test.
Another tip: study from the Kaplan book for the National Board, you'll find all the things you need to know for the exam. And don't forget: the Board is curved, so to get a 75% passing grade you actually need only about 60%.
