Funny Toothbrush

Posted Sep 26 2011 2:34pm
Hi Dr. Ellie!

I know you carry your own line of toothbrushes, but I have been using this three-sided tooth brush now for almost 20 years (not the same one!) The toothbrush is called "dentrust". It cleans all exposed surfaces of your teeth and gums all at the same time, and the bristles are made out of something that is softer than nylon. It's so much faster and efficient than normal style tooth brushes, that I can never stand to go back to normal brushes, or even electric. I was wondering if you had heard of these brushes, or can comment on the design? I don't know why these brushes came off the store shelves a long time ago, but they are still being sold online, and the dentist who invented them, Dr. Nipp is still practicing in Seaside, Oregon. So I guess what I am asking is, since you being very intelligent and innovative doctor, what you thought. Thanks for your help!

Here's their website: http://www.dentrust.com

Thank you,

Sincerely,
RJ



Hi RJ,

This brush is interesting - and may be good.
I have asked for a couple to be sent to me - so I can try them.

I don't think brushing is as important as dentists have believed all these years - it is more about the whole mouth biochemistry and infection - rather than scrubbing and brushing.
I like the concept of this brush and also the product description - I will let you know!

Just be careful to disinfect your brush often - and store it far away from any toilet area.
Tooth brushes must dry between uses - bacteria die when they dry.

Thanks again for introducing me to this brush,

Ellie
