Always clean your teeth before bed (since most tooth damage happens when you are sleeping) and again in the morning.

THE IMPORTANCE OF XYLITOL

There are specific special mouth rinses that, along with eating Xylitol, can stop “dental time”. The CWT Mouth Care System can prevent cavities and gum disease with daily use.

You will be amazed how clean teeth feel. Your teeth and gums will be protected. Used regularly you can heal early cavities and strengthen teeth.

How often do you clean your teeth?

You may be surprised how quickly bacteria grow on teeth. The first bacteria on a clean tooth are harmless and for 8 hours these bubble-shaped germs cluster and join like raindrops.

“12 hour” brushing is important because after 12 hours many bacteria change and become tubular or ”worm-like” in shape. These harmful bacteria grow and multiply in the deeper layers closest to the tooth. More germs attach on the outside, forming a barrier which cuts off oxygen to them. The oxygen shortage causes germs to change and become “anaerobic”. These are now the most damaging “cavity forming” bacteria and they produce acids that take minerals out of teeth and inflame the gums.

Did You Know
Bacteria live on your toothbrush! Be sure to frequently clean your brush with an antibacterial rinse and never share toothbrushes.


STEP ONE: pH Balancing Rinse

It is important only to brush your teeth in a neutral pH or alkaline mouth. A balancing rinse prepares your teeth for brushing. If you brush your teeth while you have an acidic mouth your teeth are soft and are more likely to be damaged by the abrasiveness
of the toothpaste.


Did You Know
A pH balancing rinse can also help to loosen food particles, clean the mouth and gently remove light staining, whitening your teeth.

CLOSYS


STEP TWO: Brushing

Brush your teeth thoroughly. Don’t forget your front teeth (at gum level). People often “turn their wrist” as they brush and forget these teeth. If you avoid these teeth each day you will have problems here.

Take care to brush the gum on the inside of back molars (along the side of your tongue). Brushing can make gums bleed, but this is part of the healing process. (Gently brush the area that bleeds, rather than avoiding it.) Remember to disinfect your toothbrush (after brushing) by dipping it in an antiseptic rinse.

Did You Know
Many people open too wide (making it impossible to clean back upper molars). Brush inside lower teeth first and the outside later.

Clean White Teeth recommends:
A Soft bristle toothbrush with a head that fits the size of your mouth and a basic fluoride toothpaste without whitening agents or antiseptics.


STEP THREE: Power Wash

Rinse your mouth with an antibacterial rinse to kill bacteria. Don’t worry if this rinse contains alcohol or is acidic, you will be rinsing it off your teeth in the next step. Again simple is better, avoid plaque and tartar contol products. The important thing in this step is to kill the bacteria.

Did You Know
Listerine was first formulated by Dr Joseph Lawrence and Jordan Wheat Lambert in 1879 as a surgical antiseptic; it was given to dentists for oral care in 1895 and became the first over-the-counter mouthwash sold in the United States in 1914.

Clean White Teeth recommends:
Listerine Antiseptic


STEP THREE: Fluoride Rinse

Protect with a fluoride rinse. Keep the fluoride rinse on your teeth as long as possible. The fluoride is what helps to remineralize your teeth and strengthen them. It is especially important to rinse before bed, so your teeth are getting stronger while you sleep. The fluoride rinse should be the last thing you do before bed.

Did You Know
Be careful in choosing the strength of fluoride rinse; a more concentrated fluoride rinse is not better.

Clean White Teeth recommends:
ACT Fluoride Rinse


IN BETWEEN: The Power of Xylitol

Xylitol is delicious and is your own special weapon in the fight against dental disease. Xylitol looks and almost tastes like sugar (sucrose) but with 40% fewer calories. When Xylitol dissolves in your mouth, it makes a sweet sugary solution that is alkaline (the opposite of acidic).

Protect and strengthen your teeth by eating 100% Xylitol mints or gum after meals, drinks or snacks. Studies show that eating two teaspoons of Xylitol each day (6-10 grams) for 5 weeks will remove harmful germs from plaque on your teeth and in 6 months 95% of these germs will be removed from your whole mouth.
