See how the toothbrush cannot clean inside grooves The toothbrush is very effective to clean gum matgins of teeth. However almost all cavities occur between teeth and inside grooves on chewing surfaces where the brush cannot reach. 80% of these cavities occur inside grooves.
The glass model of a groove shows how food is trapped in grooves and changed to acid and the brush cannot remove food or plaque from inside grooves.
It is best to brush gum margins with fluoride toothpaste and floss beteween teeth before breakfast to start each day relativly plaque free. Brushing should be done before breakfast to start the day plaque free at gum margins. Also brush gum margins before bed without washing the fluoride off teeth to allow time for the fluoride to work. Also floss between teeth.
Chewing fibre like celery is the best way to clean teeth after eating as can be seen in the Plaque Watch School Project.
Teachers, dentists and hygienists find the Supertooth Plaque Watch School Project easy to demonstrate how
Plaque grows at gum margins between teeth and inside grooves so it is imprtant to brush and floss before breakfast and seal grooves before eating so plaque cannot chage sugar to acid.
