I was suffering from periodontal disease and my dentist referred me to a periodontist
for gum surgery about a year ago. After that I started using the Smile Method and I observed a sharp improvement
of my gum health within a few weeks. Today I went to see my periodontist for an evaluation. He was surprised to
see the condition of my gum and does not think I need surgery any more.
Thanks for developing a very effective method for treating the gum disease.

I received your book and applicators
and have read your book and started
your program. You will not be
surprised to learn that it has
worked exactly as you predicted -
and that I couldn't be more
pleased. Thank you, thank you,

... A
few month ago, I had cosmetic
bonding (my dentist filled up the
space between the tooth and gum,
supposedly) done on a few teeth with
receding gums, I wish I knew then
what I know now from your book.
These teeth now look longer and I
believe the infection was not
treated, so my gum still bleed a lot
and bad taste came out when I suck
the air between the teeth. I applied
a couple of times VitaPick with
Hydrogen Peroxide solution over the
weekend, I already noticed a big
difference in the look of my gum and
how clean and tight they feel...

8 years ago My sister, R. P. was
advised to have surgery due to gum
disease, she called and talked to V.
Gardiakos AND since then up to
now she is enjoying VERY HEALTHY
GUMS! Now I may have some early
symptoms and she advised me to call
right away and do the Smile Method
to prevent the disease.

Just had my first check up since using your system, 3 months. Was told by two different periodontists
to have the gum surgery, but thought I would try your Smile Method first. Three quadrants show improvement and one
stable. Pink tissues and no Bleeding. Fantastic!!

I
received my order promptly. Thank
you. I like the VitaPik very much
and can tell it is already helping
my problem of some obviously
infected pockets… I am impressed
with your book as well. It is very
comprehensive, sensible, and
well-written.

THIS
SYSTEM ELIMINATED MY GUM DISEASE.
After I
had been diagnosed with
adult periodontitis i felt helpless,
facing the loss of up to 4 teeth and
an uncertain future regarding the
rest.
In
desperation I embarked on vas's
excellent system which I came across
on the net after entering the gloomy
words "gum disease" I changed my
dentist to someone willing to try an
alternative to tooth loss and other
negative surgery.
The cure
is now in my own hands and my
dentist is so, so, impressed with
the results. We are now able to plan
cosmetic surgery to put right some
of the devastating damage caused by
this awful army of bacteria. As my
dentist says " you can do anything
with healthy gums"
Two
months down the line I just want to
say thank-you vas for saving my
smile, and to everyone else i
absolutely recommend you take this
opportunity to save your teeth. You
will, I promise, feel as excited as
I do right now!

Hello Mr. Gardiakos,
I bought your book about six months ago when I was diagnosed of gum
disease.
I wrote you in 12/2001 when my gums healed and I could save my
wisdom teeth.
Last week I went to the office of the dentist where I was originally
diagnosed and advised to get rid of at least one wisdom tooth. They
were so surprised to see my recovery that the hygienist told so many
times
that I should be declared a model patient! At one point the staff
even said
that my photo should be framed and displayed in the clinic!!
They wished they saw more patients like me.
The
good thing was that when I found them receptive to what I had done,
after reading
your book, I showed them your book and they seemed to be
appreciating the contents
and advice from you. At least the hygienist told me that she will order a copy of your book.
At one location near the wisdom tooth, I still have a 5 mm pocket and I
am working on that.
Meanwhile, please accept my regards and best wishes,
A. S.

Hi... I ordered your "Avoid Gum Surgery" pack about 12 months ago (order
#
C1119) and I guess you won't be surprised to hear that I'm so pleased to
have been able to prevent what my dentist saw as inevitable gum surgery.
Money well spent!!! Thanks very much. Thanks!
M. D. London, U.K.
My dentist sent me to a periodontist to evaluate my gum condition. The periodontist
recommended (expensive) gum surgery. On the web I found your book and your products, and used them . . . with great
success.
A few months later, at my next dental visit, my dentist declared that he never would have sent me to the periodontist
if my gums as good then as they are now. Additionally he reviewed the periodontist's findings, evaluated my gums
and stated that he flatly disagreed with the perio's findings -- infection was gone, pocket size reduced significantly,
gum color and tone was excellent, and the orange peel texture was present.
Thanks so much for your help.
Regards,

I've been using your smile method for over a year and it works great. My dentist
said that my gums are in better shape then they were 20 years ago.
And I had convenience store pockets. 7 & 11 mm deep! Thx,
G. E. M.
I ordered your book and your product this pass January [2003] and have followed
the books instructions step by step. I am happy to say all my infection is gone and I have never felt better. My
next dentist appointment is July 14th and I can't wait to see what he has to say. I will continue to follow the
books information and I look forward to being in touch with you about my results.
Thank you so very much.

I thank God for giving you the wisdom to take the time and patience to come up with
sure a brilliant ideal. The smile method is wonderful, and is written with a simple understanding, no guess work.
Although, I only used the vitapick for two days, I went by the book, and started working on one deep pocket at
a time and I can see and fell a difference already.
I'm excited. Thanks

I recently had you mail the
vita pick to general
delivery, laguna beach, Ca.
Just wanted to let you know
I received it, and thanks
also for the super soft
toothbrush. I'm very happy
with this new vita pick and
it is already working great!
There is no other product
comparable used with
peroxide in my opinion. It
has saved me much pain and
infection and tooth loss.
Just wanted to say thanks
again.

I
want to thank you for making your
product available to the average
person who wants to take care of
his/her dental problems. I bought
your book/applicators about 6 months
ago. I had a very deep pocket in one
of my lower front teeth. The
parodist I went to said he did not
what was wrong and I would probably
loose the tooth. He cleaned it and
did nothing more. He said to come
back in a month and he would take a
look at it and said if it didn't
clear up, he would cut the gum and
take a look. That is when I called
you. After applying Hydrogen
Peroxide for about a month, it
seemed to get much better. Today I
went to my regular dentist and the
guy could not believe how it cleared
up. He compared X-rays and said the
pocket almost went away and the bone
has grown back to almost what it was
before I had the problem. The only
problem I still have there is the
gum has receded very badly.
Not to much I can do about that.
So THANKS again!!!

have
been using the method now for 2
weeks and am very happy at the
results I have achieved so far.
I have been using the antibiotic
solution because of the abscess I
have had and also for several other
sites that bleed and today I am
feeling pretty confident that I am
finally on the right track.
My gums are nearly healed and in so
much better condition than they were
2 weeks ago. I think the "inventor"
is a genius to have come up with
this innovative plan and wish to
thank him........thank you.

I was looking on the internet and
came across your website. I
researched a lot and found that the
VitaPick seemed logical since the
hygienist used the very same method
on me and it cost me $90.00 for one
treatment.

Dear
"vas",
Thank you so much for replacing the
faulty applicator that I wrote to
you about in February. The
replacement arrived and works
perfectly. Just wanted to send you a
note of appreciation for all of your
research and information included in
the book that I ordered and read
(How to Avoid Gum Surgery). Six
years ago I moved to Arizona from
California and 'lost' my dental
care. The first dentist I visited in
AZ recommended gum surgery, which
sounded painful as well as
expensive. Fear and the prohibitive
cost kept me from returning to any
dentist for five more years, during
which time I decided to educate
myself and find an alternative
approach to dental health. The most
helpful tool I ran across was your
book...it gave me hope that I could
indeed make a difference, and take
charge of my own health. After using
most of your methods for about 6
months, I worked up the courage to
again visit a dentist. Yesterday I
went in for the exam and cleaning,
and was told by the dental hygienist
that had she not seen x-rays, she
would not believe that I had any
pockets at all. She said that I
must be taking wonderful care of my
mouth as the cleaning caused no
bleeding whatsoever, that my gums
were firm healthy and snug to the
teeth! Needless to say, I was
ecstatic! This was a new dentist, I
never again went back to the other
one. I just wished to share my
experience with you and to express
my gratitude to you for your
wonderful book....IT REALLY DOES
WORK!!! So thank you, thank you,
thank you.

Two months ago I had some pockets measuring about 6 and 7, was referred to a periodontist
and scheduled for oral surgery. Someone recommended you. I purchased the book and irrigators. I went to the dentist
yesterday and I now have no pockets greater than 4. The surgery has been cancelled.
I cannot recommend the value of your program highly enough. Thank you. The dentist
was very surprised to see such a quick and dramatic turnaround. This program is the real deal.

I
purchased your Vitapick about 1-1/2
years ago and it really helped me
tremendously. In fact, before I
used the Vitapick my gums would not
bleed while brushing, but would
bleed a lot when flossing. After
using the Vitapick, the bleeding
while flossing stopped. I started
taking a lot better care of my
teeth, regular flossing my teeth and
using my Oral B electric toothbrush
twice a day instead of once a day.
Unfortunately, after my condition
improved, I stopped using the
Vitapick, which was about 1 year
ago. I just came from the dentist's
office. They told me that I had
deep pockets -- a few were size 9.
They told me I needed deep scaling &
cleaning done.
Needless to say, I'm going to get my
Vitapick out and start using it
immediately.

I
would like to add my positive
comments to the many others who have
had success with this programme. I
started the Smile Method 12 months
ago when I was referred to a
Periodontist for gum surgery. He
explained very little about what was
involved but the cost and the time
was enough for me to say let me
think about it. I hit the internet
and found the Smile Method, ordered
the book etc and started. I still
have some bleeding of the gums but
nothing like I used to have.
I
returned to my local dentist last
week - a year later. He couldn't
believe he was looking at the same
mouth and said whatever you are
doing - keep doing it. My upper
back teeth are no longer mobile and
my mouth health has greatly
improved. I still have quite a bit
of work to do but this has been a
dramatic result for a year.
I
would just like to say thank you. I
am so pleased to be able to be
avoiding expensive and painful gum
surgery. Long live the smile
method!! Regards

Hello Vas,
Thank you for returning my call a few days ago regarding the purchase of two
new Vita Picks. I originally ordered your book back in June of 1997 right after being diagnosed with an advanced
case of periodontitis. Given that I am the type of person to prefer taking responsibility for my health rather
than go along with what ever is prescribed by doctors or dentists, I immediately got on the internet and found
your web page. That was the best thing I could have done. I owe you many thanks for 1) having the right information
for me and 2) for making it so readily available. I read your book and immediately put your ideas to work for me.
I did everything you suggested in a very disciplined fashion for a year. I stayed so disciplined probably because
I started to see improvement right away, and because I was determined to heal myself as well as "prove the
dentist wrong" when she told me that the condition was "non-reversible and incurable". I was told
that I would need root planning and a whole list of extensive work costing thousands of dollars. Well, I decided
to give the Smile Method a try and am now so glad that I did.
A year later, May 1998, I returned to the same dentist for another periodontal
probe. Where the year before she had found pockets of 4 and 5 mm depths, they were now only 3 and 4 mm. I had one
molar that originally had measured at over 10 mm read only at 3mm a year later. The dentist was so confused that
she thought the second reading was wrong and tried to push the probe down deeper. Then unable to believe otherwise,
she came to the conclusion that the reading the year before MUST have been wrong! I know that it was not wrong.
I gave particular attention the that tooth/gum with daily treatment with the vitapick, vitamin C and lots of massage
and I even visualized the gum re-adhering to the tooth. The most ironic part of the whole story is that when I
told the dentist what I had been doing for the past year to heal my condition, she asked no questions, said she
had never heard of the Smile Method and left it with "well, whatever you're doing, keep it up". She was
unable, from my perspective, to relinquish her trained belief that this "disease" is not curable or reversible,
therefore unwilling to recognize what was right before her eyes or to view this as a case for medical history.
So, I want to acknowledge you sir, and thank you very much for having done
the work that you have and making my job so much easier just by giving me the information I needed to get started.
S. R., USA
Please forward one VitaPick to... I have friend who owns this appliance and she is

I received
your book and the Vitapick about a
week ago. My gums were extremely
inflamed with big bulging pockets in
some places and lots of bleeding
EVERY time that I brushed. Already
the bulges, although they have not
completely disappeared, have reduced
in size and the bleeding is very
minimal or non existant where before
it was to be expected. Also, my gums
are now beginning to have a healthy
color now with a few red spots
instead of being completely red.
I have been
taking Dilantin forever and my teeth
and gums have always been bad. I now
have hope that I can save my gums
and teeth. I was told before that I
should have the gum surgery but when
I asked if it would be cured if I
did I was told probably not, so I
didn't have it. I was so tired of
being told to floss when it just
seemed to cut my gums. The Vita pick
can get into the area where the
bacteriais hiding and get rid of
it.
Thank you for
going to all the trouble of putting
out this book for the millions of
people like me who need it.

I've been following the routine for a week now, and am very optimistic that the system will

Your book was highly recommended and immediately borrowed to me by Mrs. V. S. (The Hague,

will not help. Finally I found someone else who thinks the same about the subject and did the research. I like
to start as soon as possible with the program.
J. G., The Netherlands
Thanks for the
information. I dropped one
[VitaPick] down the drain which only
leaves me with one and I would hate

About a year ago I saw your ad in a San Diego paper and I thought Wow!... just what I was

before I lost or pulled any teeth.
R. S.
Perris, California
Wow!! If you
were here I'd give you one great big
kiss and hug!!
After 4 years
of inept care by my old dentist, I
was facing severe gum disease and
the possibility of losing several
teeth. They performed one root canal
and crown to get rid of my pain but
the pain just became worst.
I stayed on
HydroCo for several months. All they
wanted to do for me was root canals,
crowns, and tooth implants. Never
did they ever say I had any gum
problems even though I kept going
back to them in pain and had gum
abscesses. The last abscess above my
top front tooth was so large it
could have killed me. They were
ready to take me to the hospital
emergency room when I returned again
to them and said see this thing...
it's killing me!!
They said that
tooth had to be pulled as soon as
the abscess was cleared up and I
would probably need a tooth implant.
I was devastated when they said this
but while recovering from this
abscess, I read your website. I
headed straight to a periodontist to
confirm my belief that I had gum
disease. He recommended I
immediately have $5,000 in gum
surgery to save my teeth!!
Luckily, I
found a different dental office that
would do what I asked by providing a
deep scaling followed by cleanings
every 3 months while letting me
follow your procedures from your
book. So finally I was getting
proper dental care in Oct 2001.
Since then my
condition has improved and
improved!! With my dental cleaning
visit today (3 Aug 2004), they told
me that I am their "Poster Child"
for dental care!!! (My worst pocket
on my top front tooth of 12mm is now
at 5mm. They explained that the
pocket depth was probably deeper but
the gums were so healthy and tight
that this new measurement was as far
as they could push the probe.) They
are extremely impressed with my
results and are recommending your
procedures to several of their other
patients!! I've given them your
website address and told them to
read your very important book
explaining your entire procedure of
proper professional dental cleaning
care married with proper daily
cleaning care.
I know my gum
disease will never be cured but at
least I can now deal with it without
horrible pain and pain pills. All I
can say is... THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!!
THANK YOU!!! Warmest Regards,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing you book. My gums were in such sad shape
that the teeth were already loose – and I’d thought all along that my oral hygiene was perfect.
I’ve only been using your technique for a little more than a week and I can already chew
on the teeth that were loose before. I know I was going to lose my teeth – it was obvious; but today my gums are
(almost all) pink and healthy looking.

I did what your book said to do and my teeth improved immediately and I found a new dentist
who said he was willing to not pull my tooth. I continued to practice your advice and went back to him in a month

had gotten more stable and could be saved for sure.

I have been battling periodontal disease since I was 28 years old. I had surgery when I was
37 years old. Recently I was told by 2 perio’s that I needed surgery again. I sent for your Smile Method. I used
the VitaPick for 6-8 months. I just had an evaluation done and for the first time in years I actually heard low
numbers. (2-4). Usually I always had higher numbers (6-9).
I am sending for 2 new VitaPicks so I can continue my maintenance. I am 52 years old and still have most of my
teeth – Thank you for this alternative method. I am so glad I did refuse the 2nd surgery.

I was told approximately a year and a half ago that I would need a $6,000 surgery because
I had (have) advanced gum disease. I was to say the least, very upset…
…I read the book immediately and took many of your suggestions very seriously…
…Within two weeks I noticed a significant change…
…The improvement less bleeding and reduced puffiness at first, also my breath was wonderful! Then the changes (improvement)
came slower but within two months I felt the symptoms were under control…
…The change has been so significant that there is no problem as long as I stick with a solid routine…
…I have also noticed a significant gum change on a lower tooth that has tightened up significantly.
Thank you very much! I feel so fortunate to have found the SMILE METHOD.
