BioLight Guardian Review
I’ve been using an at-home oral red and near-infrared light therapy device for 10 months to see if it could improve my gum health.
In this video, I share my pros and cons of using the BioLight Guardian, tell you what my dentist said after the first 11 weeks of consistent use (!), and play you my chat with functional dentistry leader, Dr. Staci Whitman - co-founder of the Institute for Functional Dentistry (IFD). She explains why wavelengths matter, how to avoid wasting your money on the wrong device, who should be cautious about oral red light therapy, and what chronic gum inflammation could really be telling you about your overall health.
The Guardian uses 630nm red light and 850nm near-infrared (NIR) wavelengths. According to Dr. Staci, oral red light therapy could benefit those dealing with gum or periodontal disease, bleeding gums, tooth-extraction healing, orthodontic treatment inflammation, and recovery from palate expansion.
