Everybody knows regular brushing is the first step to healthy teeth and gums. Frequent brushing removes residue from tooth surfaces and prevents decay, but in the areas of the mouth where regular bristles won’t reach, plaque deposits can build up putting you at risk for tooth decay and gum disease.

Fortunately, there is an effective weapon against plaque that will protect your teeth and gums between visits to the dentist. Brushing with the Ionic Toothbrush actually helps teeth repel plaque, even in hard-to-reach cracks and crevices between teeth.

The Ionic toothbrush works on the principle that every element in nature has a positive or negative charge. This is called polarity. When the polarities are opposite, the two elements cling together. That’s why dust sticks to your coffee table and why plaque, which has a positive charge (+), clings stubbornly to your negatively charged (-) teeth. The hyG Ionic Action toothbrush temporarily reverses polarity of the tooth surface from negative (-) to positive (+), drawing plaque towards the negatively charged hyG toothbrush head.

When you brush with a hyG toothbrush, a constant flow of positive ions (+) from the lithium power source temporarily reverses your teeth’s polarity. This makes your teeth reject plaque, even in areas that aren’t touched by hyG’s bristles. The hyG Ionic Toothbrush handle is only slightly larger in size than a manual toothbrush, and has been specially designed with a small brush head to reach hard-to-clean areas of teeth. The toothbrush handle contains the power source responsible for the ionization, because people are used to slim handled toothbrushes, the hyG handle is ergonomically designed.

When the hyG toothbrush is held in your hand and the bristles of the brush head touch your teeth in the presence of saliva or water, an imperceptible electronic circuit is created. The power source for the circuit is encased in the handle section, and covered with a metal pad. When brushing, the user must simply keep a finger or part of the palm in contact with the pad, perferably wet, and brush as usual. The electron flow attracts plaque to the negative bristles for removal. This process is safe, simple and effective.

Additional features of the hyG ionic toothbrush make the hyG a sensible and efficient oral hygiene tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the hyG IONIC Toothbrush move or vibrate?

A: No, it is an IONIC toothbrush that is used just like a regular manual toothbrush.

Q: How does it remove plaque?

A: Normally, your teeth have a negative polarity. Plaque has an opposite or positive polarity, causing it to cling to your teeth. (This is the same natural phenomenon that attracts dust to surfaces in your home.) The hyG Ionic toothbrush breaks this ionic bond by temporarily reversing the polarity of tooth surfaces as you brush. The plaque's molecules are then repelled by the teeth and drawn to the negatively polarized bristles of the hyG toothbrush.

Q: Is hyG based on a new technology?

A: Actually, hyG was inspired by a technology called "iontophoresis" that dentists have used for more than a century to promote dental health. hyG is a compact, economical handheld descendant of the equipment used in your dentist's office.

Q: Is the hyG IONIC Toothbrush safe?

A: Before hyG was introduced to the United States, studies in Japan and America showed that its IONIC Action was a safe and effective process for removing plaque from plaque-prone tooth surfaces. More than 20,000,000 hyG toothbrushes have already been sold in Japan, England, Switzerland, and other countries.

Q: Do I have to plug it in?

A: The hyG IONIC Toothbrush is self-contained. The sealed waterproof handle contains a lithium power source.

Q: What will I feel when I brush my teeth with hyG?

A: Brushing with hyG feels no different than using an ordinary toothbrush. However, users have told us that their mouths taste fresher after brushing with hyG - even without using toothpaste! (If you brush without flavored toothpaste, you may aso notice an almost imperceptible metallic taste caused by hyG's ionic cleaning of tarnish from your fillings.)

Q: How will I know that hyG is working for me?

A: Results vary from person to person. Many users report a new feeling of cleanliness after several brushings. (This is particularly noticeable for smokers.) You may notice that your teeth's edges feel sharp instead of slippery, as if you'd visited a dental hygienist. Your dentist may mention that your teeth look smoother and cleaner, with less tartar and calculus to require scraping and scaling at your dental check-up.

Q: Will hyG work with caps, crowns, bridges, and braces?

A: he added benefit of enhancing plaque removal through IONIC action in plaque-prone areas that are hard to reach with a toothbrush.

Q: Do you have any tips on how to use the hyG IONIC Toothbrush?

A: Brush as you would with an ordinary manual toothbrush, following your dentist's guidelines. Just remember to keep any finger or your palm on the handle's metal band. This is necessary for IONIC plaque release to occur. A wet finger or palm ensures maximum effectiveness.

Q: Is the hyG power source replaceable?

A: The hyG battery is located in a patented, sealed, waterproof compartment. To replace the battery would require breaking the waterproof seal - adversely affecting performance and future battery life. The battery should last around two years in normal use, then a new hyG power source handle is required.

Q: Can I share the hyG toothbrush with other members of my family?

A: You can share hyG's Power Source handle, with each family member using a separate interchangable brush head. Always rinse the entire brush carefully before changing heads and before storing hyG.

What users are saying

As a dentist, I've noticed quite a diffrence in my oral hygiene with the hyG. My last two cleanings were fifteen minutes long, with no tartar present. I have found that my teeth feel cleaner and my mouth more fresh. S.B. D.D.S., P.A Eagan, Minnesota

When I recently went to the dentist for a checkup, he congratulated me on how clean my teeth were, with no plaque or cavities. I'm a 95 year old woman, so I appreciate a toothbrush that helps me save money on dental bills! M.E. Portland, Oregon

For the past twenty-two months I have been using this strange toothbrush....Prior to that time, my dentist was concerned that in the very near future I would need to have repair done to my gums. I am very happy to report that my last visit to the dentist was good . The plaque build up was minimal even though I had not seen a dentist in nearly two years...I can also tell you that since I have been using this new toothbrush, I have no bleeding while brushing... My husband recently began using the hyG and he is already beginning to notice the difference in his teeth and gums. We both feel that it leaves our mouths feeling more refreshed... M.G. Sarasota, Florida

I have been using the hyG toothbrush for about a month and a half. The following are my observations and opinions of the product: My teeth appear whiter and feel cleaner since using the hyG. Being a smoker, this is greatly appreciated. Also, before using the hyG, I had some hot/cold sensitivity in a couple of molars. I have noticed that this is reduced. I am looking forward to my next check up to see if my dental hygienist notices any change. M.M. Minneapolis, Minnesota
