Why is Colgate the most trusted toothpaste when it fails to pevent over 80% of cavities.
Colgate claim to be the most trusted toothpaste implies it is the best toothpase.
However over 80% of tooth decay, the most common disease affecting over 11 million Australians each year, occurs inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces from acid demineralisation where brushing and fluoride toothpaste cannot reach.
Health Ministers fail to act on health reform recommendations
Tooth decay is our most common disease affecting 11 million Australians each year, yet the Health Ministers fail to act on health reform recommendations to improve Oral Health Promotion and the waitimg the waiting time for timely treatment is over two years.
This means that small cavities are likely to be much larger and even involve the nerve and cause serious tooth ache before treatment which can mean costly root canal therapy or extraction when prevention is easy and better than cure.
Need new improved evidence based Oral Health Promotion and Personal Tooth Care
Federal and State Health Ministers should call for a review of Oral Health Promotion with involvement of the ADA, Dental Health Services, Education, Dental Industry, retailer and consumer representation.
Even with fluoridation, tooth decay is still our most common disease affecting 11 million Australians each year, more so in non fluoride areas.
Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where brushing cannot reach and saliva has no access to dilute trapped carbohydrate like sugar, neutralise acid and remineralise tooth like on easy to reach surfaces.
Chew fibre like celery after eating.
Tooth decay is our most common disease affecting 11 million Australians each year.
Over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where food is trapped while eating and brushing cannot reach and acid demineralisation exceeds saliva and fluoride remineralisation.
Chewing celery after eating forces saliva inside pits and fissures to dilute trapped sugars, neutralise acid and help remineralisation of tooth surfaces to help exceed demineralisation.
Chewy toothpatse
While all cavities occur from acid demineralisation where food is left on teeth under chewing pressure displacing previously trapped food.
While most food is noticed trapped between teeth, over 80% of cavities occur inside pits and fissures on chewing surfaces where brushing, fluoride toothpaste and saliva have no access to neutralise acid and remineralise tooth.
With other oral health care, forcing toothpaste inside pits and fissures under chewing pressure before brushing greatly increases remineralisation and could prevent tooth decay. See supertoothndk.org
Supertooth Sealant Chocolate
Supertooth and Chocolate maker Sweet William have developed a calcium rich chocolate to chew before and after meals and snacks to help prevent tooth decay.
Chewing traps food displacing previously trapped food. However some foods are hard to displace and some foods cause acid demineralisation of tooth while others help remineralise teeth.
Supertooth exploits the best of these qualities to help Sweet William chocolate to help prevent tooth decay.
Tooth decay is the most common Disease and second most expensive even with fluoridation
Supertooth Says
Though most food is left trapped between teeth after every meal or snack,
over 80% of cavities develop inside pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces.
Over 11 million of Australians suffer new decay each year, 38% have untreated decay. Most cavities occur between the age of 12 and 21. “Approximately $3.7 billion was spent on dental services in the year 2001-02” and $4.4 billiom in 2003-04. Only 1.7% on prevention
