Guest guest Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Saul, This is quite belated. But I was cleaning up my email files and found your post. The portable WaterPik comes with two different types of heads. They look similar but control the water flow, depending on which head you use. One of the heads is super gentle. I cannot vouch for its ozone compatibility, however. Nenah ================ Saul wrote: I could never find a WaterPik that would let me turn it down enoughto be comfortable with it. It is not great when it is splashing waterall over the bathroom while you are trying to work in a tight area. But, I only tried three different models, so maybe there is one I didn't try that would give you the kind of control you need. If you could get a nice gentle flow pulsing around the gumline that would begreat. Of course, the unit has to be ozone proof. Usually they use a rubber bladder to accelerate the water, which will not work with ozone ... for long. Hydrogen peroxide foams up tremendously when contacted ( and neutralized)by catalase, which exists in the blood in large amounts. Rinsing and spitting with hydrogen peroxide works fine, because there will not be a lot of blood for it to contact.But as soon as you start hitting the gumline, you are going to have blood cominginto the mouth and then the peroxide is going to rapidly lose its effect. So rinsing with ozonated water is better. I have never noticed the foaming with ozonated water that I have with peroxide. And the taste is light years better, too. Best of Health!
