Mouth Health

The Dirtiest Place on the Body

It is common knowledge that one of the dirtiest parts of the body is not the colon or bowels – but the mouth.  The back of the tongue is literally teeming with pathogenic micro-organisms.  The problem is that few people use a toothbrush to remove these bacteria, and even if the tongue were to receive a thorough scrubbing, many would remain and quickly repopulate the mouth.
The Heart Disease Link:
At the 2001 annual session of the American College of Cardiology, researchers were stunned by new research that showed that gingivitis is actually linked to heart disease.  “There is sufficient evidence to conclude that oral lesions, especially advanced periodontopathies, place certain patients at greater risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke,” stated Louis F. Rose, DDS, MD, of the University of Pennsylvania.   The same oral pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis that causes gum disease also contributes to the inflammation along arterial damage that leads to heart and vascular disease.


Copper Tongue Scrapers
Why scrape the tongue with copper?  There are small buds on the back of the tongue known as papillae. If you look at the back of your tongue closely, you'll see that it's not at all flat. Inside these grooves live small bacteria, and these act as the main cause of bad breath or halitosis.  This bacteria does not receive sufficient oxygen as they're buried within the ridges of your tongue.

Copper has been known to naturally fight bacteria and plaque for centuries.  Regular tongue scraping with a copper scraper is a cheap, healthy means of keeping your breath fresh and your mouth healthy.  Copper is also smoother and more gentle on the tongue.

Thieves Denatarome Toothpaste

This toothpaste is formulated with pure, natural, edible ingredients such as vegetable glycerine, sodium bicarbonate, ionic minerals and stevioside - a natural intensely sweet extract from a tropical plant native to South America.

In addition Denatarome uses an exclusive formula of uniquely antiseptic, antimicrobial therapeutic grade essential oils to combat plague causing microorganisms.

Denatarome leaves the mouth fresh, fragrant and clean as it  is a high powered, essential oil toothpaste with a special two part essential oil system that has:-

  • Anti stain, whitening enzymes
  • Time released essential oil mouthwash
  • Therapeutics grade essential oil blend of clove, cinnamon, rosemary, lemon and eucalypt
The low abrasion formula contains the smallest particle size commercially available of calcium carbonate and zinc oxide with special tartar control agents.

Ionic Toothbrush - Light Activated
Contains a light-activated titanium rod. Uses a semi-conducting rod which cleans teeth better.  Light years ahead. Helps Remove dental plague and stains leaving your teeth like clean porcelain all day long, with no furry build up.

A Revolution in Dental Care
It looks like an ordinary toothbrush, but closer examination reveals a rod that runs through the replaceable bristle head and into the handle.


The Benefits of Using Soladey:
Bacteria in plaque attack food, producing acid. This acid causes bad breath, tooth decay, and gum disease. Normally, saliva neutralises this action. But when plaque builds up, it acts as a barrier, preventing the neutralising action of the saliva. According to clinical studies, the Soladey-Eco can stop this plaque buildup. Working with saliva, the brush controls the bacteria responsible for plaque.

  • The Ionic Process is activated simply by light and water.
  • Requires little or no toothpaste.
  • Works on tough dental stains, encourages whiter teeth.

Soladey Advantages:

  • Convenient to keep in your car, bag, and child's lunchbox.
  • Ideal for travel, camping, outdoor use, or where water is unavailable.
  • Cleans and refreshes dentures and braces.
  • Light and handy to carry, no electrical cords or batteries.

Soladey's Effective Action:

  • Research shows that this ionic toothbrush is more effective for plaque removal then an ordinary toothbrush.
  • Ionic action in the saliva is naturally antibacterial and continues after brushing.

Environmentally Friendly Soladey:

  • Brush handle and titanium dioxide rod can last a lifetime.
  • Uses economical changeable brush heads.
Replacement heads now available with Tapered Bristles

Tapered Bristles provide added benefits of deeper cleansing between the gum line. This metal rod is the secret to Soladey-Eco. It is made of a patented semi-conductor that when activated by light produces electrons that help remove dental plaque. 

In Japan over 2 million Soladey-Eco toothbrushes and 5 million replacement heads are sold each year!

How It Works:


When exposed to any light source (a fluorescent bathroom light, a plain light bulb, or sunlight), the photo-sensitive titanium rod inside Soladey-Eco converts light into negatively charged electrons (ions). The rod releases the ions, which blend with saliva to attract positive (hydrogen) ions from the acid in the dental plaque.

Once the acid is neutralised, plaque disintegrates - the natural and scientific approach to a cleaner and healthier mouth! Toothpaste is not required as water (saliva) is the active ingredient - oral hygiene now becomes not only natural, but also economical!

Soladey-Eco Toothbrushes


To keep your Soladey-Eco toothbrush operating at maximum efficiency, replace the brush portion regularly, as often as you would replace a standard toothbrush.


How to use the Soladey-Eco toothbrush:


After wetting the bristles and semi-conductor with water, brush your teeth lightly and thoroughly in the same way as with an ordinary toothbrush. You may, if you wish, use a very small amount of your preferred toothpaste on the bristles, although this is not necessary with Soladey-Eco. Make certain there is always adequate light source (natural or artificial) on the semi-conductor rod as this is necessary for activation. If necessary the mouth should be kept partly open. With sensible care, the handle and rod will last for years, requiring only inexpensive replacement heads. The replacement heads provide all the benefits of the Soladey-Eco at a comparable cost of a regular toothbrush.

Reasons for using SOLADEY-Eco:


REDUCES CAVITIES
Actually reduces bacteria that cause cavities by the natural cleansing action of safe, free electrons emitted from the revolutionary solar conducting rod
TEETH FEEL & LOOK CLEANER
Through superior cleaning ability, plaque adhesion to your teeth is reduced photoelectronically
TOOTHPASTE IS UNNECESSARY
Effective plaque removal is possible with or without toothpaste; ordinary light activates the patented semi-conductor rod and cleans your teeth without abrasives
AFFORDABLE & ECONOMICAL
With sensible care, the handle and rod will last a lifetime, requiring only inexpensive replaceable heads. The replacement heads provide all the benefits of the Soladey-Eco at a comparable cost of a regular toothbrush. Available in a pack of 4.

 


Soladey Scientific Trials


Canadian Trial
A blind, two-way crossover clinical trial was carried out by the College of Dentistry, University of Saskatchewan, Canada with 80 high school children of both sexes aged 13-16 years. The aim of the study was to compare the plaque removing ability of the Soladey toothbrush with a toothbrush of identical appearance but with an imitation bar made of synthetic resin (control brush) in place of the semi-conductor. Both groups were advised to use the brushes according to manufacturer's instructions for a period of 3 weeks using a small amount of a standard toothpaste which was provided.

The results of this study indicate that the Soladey toothbrush had better plaque removing ability, especially on the buccal surfaces of all teeth, than the control brush without the semi-conductor.

Japanese Trial
A study was carried out by the Department of Preventative and Community Dentistry, Nippon Dental University at Tokyo with 60 adult female subjects who were dental hygiene school students. One group (32) used the Soladey and another (28) used a conventional toothbrush (control). The subjects' oral conditions were examined 1, 2 and 3 weeks later using five standardised tests.

After the third week there was a significant improvement in gingivitis and oral cleanliness in the group using the Soladey compared with the control group.   Moto Niwa and Masaomi Kukuda: Clinical Study on the control of dental plaque using photo energy conversion in a toothbrush equipped with a TiO2 semi-conductor Shigaku Vol 77 NO2:   August 1989
