The Hydrofloss dental irrigation system is sold only by dentists. It costs
about $ 135. To me it looks like a glorified Waterpik but my dentist
recommends it highly.

What bothers me, more than the other hype, is the claim:

Hydromagnetic oral irrigation

By treating the water magnetically, this effects the ionization process,
which in turn reduces surface tension and inhibits the ability of the
bacteria to bond and colonize and the calculus to form.

This new scientific breakthrough is based on "Hydromagnetics", a new
science, I guess.

How do professional dentists feel about this? Should I discard my Waterpik
(fully paid for) and invest in a magnetic Hydrofloss system ($ 135) ??

We agree .. magnetic water is the
best kind, but first I have to empty
my pockets of any money. The magnetic
water will not go down as well if it is
attracted to metal. That is why the doc
relieves you of the money FIRST

Not to mention the *scientific* evidence tha
magnetic water will polarize your amalgam
fillings therefore creating an irresistible
attraction between your teeth and moving
city buses. :p
Good grief, what happened to common sense

And don't forget that the magnetic amalgam attraction can create 350
millivolts that will have to dissipate through the nerves in your head
. . .

. . . . . or was that 350 milligauss??

Heck, where is Keith Walsh when you really need him??

Water near the North pole is magnetized one way, and in the southern
hemisphere, near the south pole,.. another, hence the toilet flushes
counterclockwise in one hemisphere and not the other due the fact
that the water is "magnetized" in the opposite direction.

YUP, which further proves that mercury fillings are posion as th
magnetic water attracted to the mercury "waste" helps slow down th
spin of the earth .......

I know this sounds crazy ..... I am simply rehearsing for next Thursda
when I am scheduled to visit the Pennsylvania Home for the Insane t
check their non-existent teeth.

Science can be odd, so you can't always trust you intuition in the case
of amalgam or anything else.

Consider this: If you took a thermos and filled it with very hot water
no matter how good the thermos eventually it would cool off.

Yet magma has been inside the poor insulator of the  Earth's crust for
Billions of years in the middle of subfreezing space yet it  never
seems to cool off.
Constant eruptions are proof of that. But  Clearly our intuition say's
that all
that magama  should eventually get cooler? How can that be?

That's perfectly OK since city buses travel on the left side of the roa
in Australia
