If you want to find out how to stop bad breath & bleeding gums quickly and effectively eliminate plaque, click on the link below for a free copy of Dr Phillips' classic book 'Acquiring and Maintaining Oral Health' http://graemedinnen.10minutefunnels.com/1972book The complete guide to The Blotting Technique as explained by Dr Phillips. The clip is an old converted video (fashions and hairstyles are definitely last century!) but the information contained here is extremely valuable. These brushes are available internationally from www.toothwizards.com I suggest you use the brushes daily and 'blot' the teeth and gums very gently. No toothpaste is required. The gentler the better. Use a tapping motion rather than a brushing action. It may take a while to become used to this way of cleaning your teeth but it works so much better than 'conventional' brushing. The blotting action stimulates the gums whereas brushing with toothpaste deals only with the teeth. This 'conventional' method of brushing merely pushes plaque from one side to the other and into the gum crevice where gum disease starts. Two points about the clip: 1. The small head brush referred to was out of production for some time yet because of demand, we made them available again as the MiniBlot. 2. At several points during the clip Dr Phillips suggests you swallow the saliva that has built up as you brush. Most people don't like the thought of this and spit saliva out instead, but bear in mind that swallowed saliva contains antibodies that enhance immunity and the best form of mouthwash on this planet is your own saliva - stimulated by both the sympathetic & parasympathetic nervous systems. A close up film clip on tooth enamel has recently been released. We all believe the enamel surface of our teeth to have a smooth surface. Watch the short film and understand why we need to keep our teeth clean and free of the bacteria that causes gum disease. It is really worth watching all the way through. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_Gdl0C4CnY
