Get The Word Out Press Release 30 March 2010

This Easter, chew on a new oral health idea.

For the last 500 years you’ve been taught to fight tooth decay by brushing your teeth. The technique is simple; a toothbrush for brushing and toothpaste for cleaning. However, according to dentist, Dr Garth Pettit, this isn’t enough. To prevent oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum diseases, bad breath, stained teeth and ruined smiles, you should, ‘Treat Your Whole Mouth’.

This new concept, created by Dr Garth Pettit after researching the age-old idea of simply brushing teeth, is simple, logical and actually works. Dr Pettit has now set up a website (www.drgarthpettit.com/stop-the-rot-videos/) to explain to children, parents, teachers and health educators how this new idea works.

Dr Pettit is clearly passionate about oral health care. After graduating from the School of Dentistry at Adelaide University in 1953 he had private practices in Australia, the UK and then back in Australia until retiring in 1991 for what he thought would be a quiet retirement.

“In January 1997, I returned to work to become a government dentist as the District Dental Officer for East Arnhem Land,” says Dr Pettit. “It was in Numbulwar that I discovered that the simple ‘Brush Your Teeth’ concept was a bad oral hygiene instruction so I set about creating the new concept ‘Treat Your Whole Mouth’.”

Dr Pettit hopes parents, teachers and health educators will encourage children to visit the website (www.drgarthpettit.com/stop-the-rot-videos/) immediately. Because, of course, what better time to learn about total mouth hygiene than at Easter time?
