Vote for children’s oral health
The following You Tube video was an audition video I submitted for The Next Internet Millionaire contest of 2007, the brainchild of internet guru Joel Comm of adsense fame. I failed to receive enough votes to get past the end of the first stage. However it did get a lot of good, free publicity for my cause. Your rating even now will help prevent oral disease in children and would be greatly appreciated.

The Roles of Parents and Teachers in The MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web
Parents
I believe children’s ideal oral hygiene instructors are their parents, simply because they are with their children every day and children need oral healthcare instruction and oral healthcare supervision every day.
Teachers
I believe children’s ideal oral health educators are their teachers at school, simply because teachers are trained to teach and schools have the ideal environment for learning. But I do not imply that a parent is not always the ideal for this role.
Enrol Your Children Today
Parents and teachers, enrol your children today in the MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web. Educate your children to become self-motivated to make the wise decisions CHILDREN constantly need to make for themselves, without supervision, to PREVENT oral disease, to MAINTAIN oral health, to RETAIN their teeth white, to PRESERVE their smiles for life and to AVOID expensive dentistry. Oral health educators, give children their very best oral healthcare education. Tell them all about a smile.
You are children’s ideal oral health educators. Children need oral health educators who can deliver the very best oral healthcare education at the time when they need it most. From the eruption of a child’s first baby teeth to the eruption of the last second molar teeth! As soon as they are receptive, start telling them all about a smile. (more…)

Comments by Dr Garth Pettit on The Video Zorba The Greek Yolgnu Style
MouthWise Oral HealthCare education resources had their origins when, in January 1997, I was accepted for the position of District Dental Officer, East Arnhem Land in the North-West of the Northern Territory of Australia.
Until my departure from East Arnhem Land in June 2002 I was kept happily, very busy, visiting the main, remote, greatly-scattered Aboriginal communities in that wonderful, unique part of Australia.
It was during my visit in early 2001 to the Aboriginal community of Numbulwar when I first became aware that the instruction “Brush Your Teeth” was flawed, a cause of oral diseases and needed a major overhaul. So was born my 21st Century oral hygiene instruction “Treat Your Whole Mouth”.
I have many wonderful memories of East Arnhem Land and of it’s inhabitants. When Australian aboriginals live on their natural bush tucker diet they have one of the most beautiful dentitions in the world.
They are wonderful people and have a great sense of humour as you will note in this video. (more…)

……Dr Garth Pettit, Dentist, Inventor, Author, Educator
Hello,I was born in Henley Beach, Adelaide, South Australia on 20th November 1931.I was educated at Port Lincoln Kindergarten, then Port Lincoln Primary School, then Port Lincoln High School. I attended Adelaide High School for the Leaving Honours Certificate before beginning my university career at Adelaide University, Faculty of Dentistry in 1949 and graduated as a dentist in November 1953.
Since then I have practiced dentistry in Australia, then in the U.K. then back in Australia until I retired in November 1992. Shortly before retiring I Received a Graduate Diploma in Management from the University of Central Queensland subjects on economics and finance were my stumbling blocks to continue through to a Master of Business Administration.
But the most interesting years for me have been between January 1997 and coming up to the end of 2008. In these years I have been back at dentistry again for all but 2 years and 6 months. WITH A PASSIONATE PURPOSE!
Over the past 12 years I have devoted my time to creating The MouthWise Oral HealthCare Education Resources. Resources for all age groups to educate how to prevent the easily preventable oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum diseases, bad breath and stained teeth.
I do feel very passionately about condemning the 500 + year old tooth cleaning instruction as a cause of oral diseases and equally passionately about introducing the totally oral, oral hygiene instruction “Treat Your Whole Mouth”. The very first totally oral, oral hygiene instruction ever!
P.S. Wondering about the inventor? You’ll find the information here. At the time there were an estimated 10,000 million vinyl records sold every year. That was also the time when new technology was about to be introduced. Compact Discs were about to hit the market and interest in vinyl records was predicted to dwindle so the invention became a non-profit venture, however not a waste of time, money or effort because I have since then benefited personally from many valuable lessons I learned by attempting that venture. The success of my twelve year-long venture to prevent oral diseases in children will be due in no small way to applying capacities for patience, perserverence and persistence, by applying the abilty to use visionary powers to achieve goals and not the least by recognizing and applying the power of that which is morally correct when setting goals.
