In 1981 Vasilios Gardiakos was diagnosed by his dentist to have periodontitis, an advanced form of gum disease. He was advised to have gum surgery. He had a strong feeling that cutting away the gum was not the correct thing to do. The Hippocratic concept “Physician, heal thy self” inspired him to look for an alternative. His desire to avoid the many costly office visits, the pain and the disfigurement that would make him look older, motivated him to conduct extensive research for a natural non-surgical treatment for periodontitis. His twenty-three years of research has paid off. He is successfully treating his gum disease with a conservative program he calls “The Smile Method”. He shares this easy to follow program with the publication of his book, The Smile Method – How to Avoid Gum Surgery and Dentures so that it may put a SMILE on your face.

 Great advice; saves you a ton of money and lots of bother, September 03, 2015

I was told that I have to get the bottom two second molars extracted because I had deep pockets, 8-10 mm, in them and lost much bone. I bought this book and ordered the VITAPICK from albrite,com and have been following what is recommended in this book for 3 weeks. There is night and day difference between what I had before I started following the recommendations and now. One of my pockets has reduced from 10 to 8 in just 3 weeks! And I have not gotten another infection.
And I have spent less then 200 dollars on the WaterPik,the baking soda, the hydrogen peroxide, the VitaPICK and the book,
The method does require diligence but your mouth will thank you. You will have better breath, no more pain and save 10s of 1000s of dollars.
It takes me about 5-10 minutes twice daily to follow the Smile Method.
You have to try this before agreeing to any surgeries.
Based on the information in the book, I dumped by dentist and looked for a better one that believes in prevention. I have already found a great periodontist who is helping me follow this plan better.

 Some good & some interesting info..., August 26, 2014
By Debra B.

Most of the info I've read so far has been spot on with some research I've been doing. Other info is just unique & I have found nothing for or against it in my research. My research has been done both before & after what I have read so far.
I have problems & am searching for help. Many prescription meds give me dry mouth & it is wrecking havoc with some social situations. Many tried & true methods of oral care don't help but hurt lots of people on prescription medications. So this book offers some good & sound info / help & some "I'll give this a try & hope that it works," info.

Wow -- natural help for gums! This is a major breakthrough, May 16, 2013
By MusicSpirit (ORMOND BEACH, FL, US)

Mr. Gardiakos has created an incredible opportunity for those of us who prefer to take responsibility for our own health, even that of our teeth and gums.
After scouring the internet for months, for help with previously undisclosed bone loss and gum issues (my teeth and gum have always appeared fine with normal brushing, flossing and water pik), finding this revolutionary book has been a game-changer for me.
I may eventually be unable to avoid the loss of teeth due to years of bone and gum damage which occurred without my knowledge prior to finding this method, but I have had nearly a year of trouble-free living thanks exclusively to Mr. Gardiakos' phenomenal discovery. Since some teeth were already loose at the time my dentist finally told me of my "advanced gum disease," my ability to avoid surgery and an estimated $70,000 of dental work until now is itself remarkable.
In short, I have used this easy and simple technique to keep my gums and bone from deteriorating. A solution of two readily available ingredients -- food grade hydrogen peroxide and colloidal silver -- is "injected," not into the skin itself but into the pockets (spaces) between tooth and gum, using the specially-designed (ingenious) syringes ordered from Mr. Gardiakos. He even provides the little cups in which to mix the liquid.
I know Mr. Gardiakos' method is making the difference, because when I do not use it for a couple of days, I begin to feel discomfort in my teeth and gums.
This process is so easy and so effective that gratitude is not a strong enough word to describe my feelings about his generosity of spirit in providing the tools at such low price and with such compassionate assistance.
The book explains the principals and techniques. All we have to do is apply the theory. It works, it works, it works -- and nothing else does. Hallelujah and thank you!

Superdupity for My Gum Problems,, December 28, 2012
By whipperin1

I have had a few gum pocket problems for several years. Various dentists prescribed all kinds of interventions including pulling a tooth and periodontal work. All dentist suggested interventions would have been painful and very costly. Instead of mindlessly taking the dentist's prescribed interventions, I studied alternative interventions like those taught in this book. I applied a few of the techniques in this book and avoided pain and spending thousands of dollars, I have also saved my tooth for five years. The interventions in this book are incredibly cheap compare to dentist's work, so you can saves thousands of dollars; however, they do require diligence in applying them. The dental industry is mostly a self-serving money machine that has no incentive to tell you about these interventions, so don't expect your dentist to suggest or approve of any of this stuff.

THE SMILE METHOD, September 11, 2010
By LadyHawk
|
|
The process of attaining and sustaining general good health depends on the establishment and maintenance of a healthy oral environment. More and more, the periodontium (i.e., the gums and tissues supporting the teeth) is becoming recognized as a periodontal "window" into the body. As diseased gums pump high levels of harmful bacteria into the bloodstream, studies suggest that oral health (e.g., gum disease) is related to serious conditions like heart disease.
In 2004, the American Academy of Periodontology published protocols similar to those in THE SMILE METHOD as recommended treatment for periodontal disease. Yet, fewer than 5% of US general dentists and less than 25% of periodontists implement these simple dental gum treatments. Why? Because highly effective, do-it-yourself protocols such as those in THE SMILE METHOD -- especially those that utilize the VITA-PIK, which the author provides on order -- are not financially lucrative. Periodic root-planing and surgery are far bigger money-makers. It is a national tragedy and a huge detriment to oral health that so many dental professionals ignore and fail to provide the simple treatments in this book, treatments that effectively addresses the root causes of gum disease. THE SMILE METHOD empowers consumers and enables us to effect our own safe, economical dental wellness. Carpe diem!
