Ionic Toothbrush
Makes Your Teeth Repel Plaque

Frequently asked questions about the hyG Ionic Toothbrush

Q How does it remove plaque?
A Teeth normally have a negative polarity. Plaque has an opposite or positive polarity, causing it to cling to your teeth.

The hyG Ionic toothbrush from Dr. Tung's breaks this ionic bond by temporarily reversing the polarity of tooth surfaces as you brush.

The plaque molecules are then repelled by the teeth and drawn to the negatively polarized bristles of the hyG toothbrush.

Q Does the IONIC toothbrush move or vibrate
A No, it is an Ionic toothbrush that feels just like regular toothbrush.

Q Is the IONIC toothbrush safe?
A Before hyG was introduced to the United States, studies in Japan showed that its Ionic action was a safe and effective process for removing plaque from plaque-prone tooth surfaces. More than 10 million hyG toothbrushes have been sold in Japan, England and other countries.

Q How do you brush with the 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. A wet finger or palm ensures maximum effectiveness.

Q How will I know that the IONIC toothbrush is working for me?
A Many users report a feeling of cleanliness after several brushings. You may notice that you teeth's edges feel sharp instead of slippery. At your dental check-up your dentist may mention that your teeth look smoother and cleaner, with less tartar and calculus to require scraping and scaling.

Q Do I have to plug it in?
A No. 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, even without using toothpaste!

Q Will the hyG work with braces, caps, crowns, and bridges?
A Yes. The action of the IONIC toothbrush is the same as other toothbrushes except that it has the added benefit of enhancing plaque removal through IONIC action in plaque-prone areas that are hard to reach with a toothbrush.

Q Can I share the hyG toothbrush with other family members?
A You can share hyG's power source with each family member using a separate interchangeable brush head. Always rinse the entire brush carefully before changing heads and before storing hyG. Three brush heads are included in each package. Extras are available.

Q Can the IONIC toothbrush whiten my teeth and remove stains?
A Like plaque, many chemical stains (tea, coffee, grape juice, tobacco, etc.) electrostatically bond to teeth. If not removed, regularly stains penetrate the enamel and discolor teeth. Brushing with the hyG IONIC toothbrush helps break this electrostatic bond to prevent buildup of stains. Users report brighter, whiter teeth after brushing with the hyG.
