Supertooth online school, community and professional dental health education project, helps improve personal tooth care and prevent tooth decay, particularly where food is left between teeth and inside grooves.
- Tooth decay is the most common food related disease yet the most preventable, with an economic impact of heart disease and diabetes
- Almost all cavities occur where food is trapped between teeth and inside grooves on chewing surface, displacing previously trapped food
- Few cavities occur where the brush, fluoride and saliva have easy access to remove food, neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth
- Fluoride in water and toothpaste has made a great improvement in tooth decay, but can’t access through food between teeth and inside grooves
Supertooth helps develop simple skills to remove trapped food and provide easy access for fluoride and saliva to neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth.
