Good Food Friends

Welcome to our new Supertooth and Good Food Friends Monthly Journal
The modern diet contains a significant amount of fementable carbohydrate which is changed to acid where food is left trapped between teeth and inside pits and fissures in grooves on chewing surfaces while eating every meal or snack, even after brushing.

The Victorian auditor general’s report indicates that dental caries is the most prevalent disease in the community and second most costly. Victorian children of 5to6 had the highest mean number of dmft in Australia - 1.47 compared with the national average of 0.97.

Even after 30 years of fluoride, oral hygiene, fissure sealants and avoiding sweets etc., all important preventive measures promoted by dentists, government health authorities and many commercial interests like Colgate, tooth decay has only been halved. In 2004, the Australian toothbrush market was $95 million, toothpaste was $209.5 and chewing gum was $104 million, yet $1,510.2million of confection and other foods were left trapped on teeth after eating.

Supertooth and the Good Food Friends has been designed with science based tools that shows plaque on teeth and compares methods of removing plaque. The project can teach and develop easy, convenient and effective skills to seal teeth before eating and help saliva remove trapped food, neutralise acid and repair demineralised tooth after eating every meal or snack.

Please keep comming back the latest news like the release of a new tap range with Sowash fittings to clean teeth in your home and enjoy the offering and share Supertooth with your friends and associates because it is the food left trapped on teeth that causes almost all cavities.
