Holly Willoughby UKTV presenter and mum The use of oral wipes alone has been shown to reduce the load of cariogenic bacteria in infants while the removal of plaque (1) and the development of new caries was significantly reduced by the use of a wipe (2). Parents were found to be more satisfied with wipes 6 Brush-Baby Chewable Toothbrush 1m0o-n3ths Nursery-aged children who used the Chewable Toothbrush had fewer decayed teeth compared to those using a regular toothbrush and that the Chewable Toothbrush also removed more plaque (1). Another study on the use of chewable toothbrushes in the elderly showed that a chewable toothbrush was as effective as a regular toothbrush in plaque removal and had a significantly better effect on the lingual side of the tooth 1.Lai SJ.

Tooth brushing and my baby Brushbaby Ltd Customer Report Xylitol is a natural ingredient which combats cariogenic bacteria and reduce sugar acids. Xylitol is well known for preventing cavities by inhibiting the growth of the Streptococcus Mutans bacteria (1) and evidence also suggests that use of Xylitol may offer some protection against periodontal disease (2).Xylitol and fluoride in toothpaste appears to have a synergistic effect increasing remineralisation (3), while the presence of SLS may decrease the effectiveness of xylitol (4). Studies of children using 10% xylitolenriched fluoride toothaste found they developed significantly fewer cavities than those children using fluoride-only toothpaste (5) 1. Trahan L.

My 3 year old daughter liked using it, very soft bristles. There were less tantrums from her at teeth brushing time! The quality is great; I was very pleased with it, it does have added benefits over the other toothbrushes. I would buy this again and recommend it to others My daughter loves the toothbrush and the heads have lasted amazingly well and it looks as good as new. The flashing light timer appeals a lot. Size of both head and handle are perfect for her age K Palacio, Brush-Baby Customer Michelle James, Brush-Baby Customer The bi-level bristle arrangement is significantly more effective for removing plaque from the interproximal areas, at the gingival margin and subgingivally (1-2).Recent research suggests that new elongated (extended) trims and tapered bristle designs provide the best access to the interdental and gingival regions 3,4,5. Barnes CM et al (2009) compared a manual toothbrush with a mix of elongated tapered-bristles and conventional rounded bristles with a conventional manual toothbrush with bristles of uniform height and diameter. They found Interproximal Access 5 S horter, round-ended bristles clean the surface of the tooth Elongated, tapered flossing bristles reach in-between teeth and into the gum line Small brush head Easy to hold rubber handle Efficacy (IAE) values as measured by a pressure sensitive artificial plaque substrate significantly higher (P<0.001) in the taperedbristle brush. Similarly, the tapered-bristle brush had significantly superior subgingival access (P<0.001) and the mean value for gingival margin cleaning efficacy of the tapered bristle brush was significantly higher (P<0.001). Hotta et al (2002) compared similar toothbrush groups for cleaning simulated occlusal fissures and found that the combination of tapered and round-end bristles was significantly (P<0.01) more effective than the conventional flat round-endedbristles 1.

Toothbrushes whose bristle design includes elongated and tapered bristles are the most effective in removing plaque from interdental and occlusal areas, the gingival margin and subgingivally. Vibrating brushes with similar bristle designs appear more effective than powered oscillating-rotating toothbrushes 4 1.

Am J Dent. 1995; 8: Xylitol - the biggest advance against cavities since fluoride Nigel Carter, Head of the British Dental Health Foundation What is Xylitol? Xylitol is a natural sugar found in plums, strawberries, and raspberries and birch trees. It is also made in small amounts in our bodies. Is Xylitol new? No, the positive effects of Xylitol on dental health has been known for over 40 years and it is widely used in Scandinavian countries and the US. There have been more than 300 studies showing its almost incredible effect on preventing and reversing tooth decay - by up to 50%. How Xylitol works Every time you eat, the bacteria present in your mouth digest the sugars of your food to produce acids which eat away at the enamel of your teeth. This acid attack causes tooth decay and cavities can to begin to form if prolonged. Xylitol helps prevent decay-causing bacteria from producing the acids that rot teeth. This is because these bacteria are unable to digest Xylitol and so do not produce acids as a by-product. The bacteria also begin to reduce in number and become less sticky so they don t cling to the surface of teeth where they can do damage. Xylitol helps to repair the damaged enamel of teeth Studies have shown that minerals such as calcium and phosphate salts and also fluoride work better to repair the enamel of teeth when Xylitol is present. Even wiping a baby s new teeth with a daily xylitol wipe can give great protection against decay in the early years. Studies have shown that children given Xylitol-enriched toothpaste develop fewer cavities than those using fluorideonly toothpaste. Xylitol helps prevent cavities before they form Xylitol-enriched Fluoride toothpastes have been shown to work better than Fluoride-only toothpastes.. If a child gets xylitol a couple of times a day, they will get less decay - Aubrey Sheiham, emeritus professor of dental public health and University College London The regular use of Xylitol chewing gum by mothers has been shown to help protect their children s teeth from tooth decay This is because Xylitol reduces the number of decay-causing bacteria in the mother s mouth and in turn helps to reduce the transfer of these bacteria to their baby s or children s mouths. It has been shown that mothers who chewed xylitol gum in pregnancy have children who are 70% less likely to have tooth decay at the age of 5. Trahan L.
