Stop the Rot

A dental hygienist reveals that brushing your teeth is actually detrimental to oral healthcare.

For five centuries children have been told to “brush your teeth” generation after generation by parents, grandparents, dentists, dental hygienists, dental therapists, teachers, schools, education departments, dental associations, health-related government agencies and even the World Health Organization. The list is endless. Children are brainwashed to brush their teeth from a very early age up to their teens.

However, brushing your teeth . . .

• has been causing oral diseases since before 1498, the year the first toothbrush to be made with bristles was patented
• is a fifteenth-century tooth cleaning instruction
• is a cleaning-only instruction
• does not leave the whole mouth clean
• does not leave vulnerable-to-disease mouth surfaces protected from disease
• does not predictably prevent oral diseases

In Stop the Rot, Dr. Garth Petitt explains an effective oral hygiene routine that will maximize your health and well-being.
