How good is your toothbrush?

How good is your toothbrush to prevent caries?
Not much good
Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures in chewing surfaces where brushing cannot reach.
However brushing with fluoride toothpaste twice a day is still important to prevent gum disease and tooth decay where the brush can reach.
Tooth Decay is the most common global disease.

Join Supertooth to prevent tooth decay

All cavities occur where carbohydrate in food left on teeth under chewing pressure is changed to acid demineralisation that exceeds remineralisation.

Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures where brushing cannot reach

A simple strip of special plastic can force saliva, toothpaste and even fissure sealants inside pits and fissures to dilute carbohydrate in trapped food, neutralise acid and remineralise demineralised tooth or force sealants inside pits and fissures to block food from being trapped and changed to acid as seen with the Supertooth glass model of a fissure. www.supertoothndk.org
