July 27, 2007 18:34 - How do I avoid nasty morning breath?
It's really very easy to avoid most types of morning breath using TheraBreath Oral Rinse and Toothpaste. But here is a little trick that really works for problem breath:
- Right before bedtime, use your TheraBreath Oral Rinse and Toothpaste as directed, making sure to coat your tongue with toothpaste as part of the process.
- After your regular TheraBreath routine, place 1-2 TheraBreath FreshStrips directly on the back of your tongue.
- Now go to bed and wake up without nasty morning breath! That's all there is to it.
At night when you sleep, the Anaerobic Sulfur-Producing Bacteria that are responsible for awful breath have a field day in your mouth because oxygen-rich saliva is not being produced. The slow dissolving action of the patented, pharmaceutical-grade TheraBreath FreshStrips continues to work through the night, controlling anaerobic sulfur-producing bacteria that live in your mouth and cause unpleasant morning breath. The combination of TheraBreath Rinse, Toothpaste, and FreshStrips is the closest thing to mimicking the anti-bacterial properties of healthy saliva.
June 22, 2007 20:31 - American Dental Association Praises Rep. Elijah Cummings' "Deamonte's Law"
Back in March of this year, I posted about the death of 12-year-old Deamonte Driver, of Prince George's County, Md., who died from a severe brain infection that may have resulted from untreated dental disease. Since then, Rep. Elijah Cummings has been working on legislation to ensure that disadvantaged children have access to suitable oral health care.
Earlier this week, the ADA joined Rep. Cummings in Baltimore to demonstrate its support for Deamonte's Law. This could be a powerful step toward ensuring the health of ALL America's youth. The full press release follows:
CHICAGO, June 18, 2007: American Dental Association (ADA) Senior Vice President of Government and Public Affairs William Prentice joined Rep. Elijah Cummings in Baltimore today to announce the ADA's support for "Deamonte’s Law," legislation that will help end the silent epidemic of untreated dental disease among the nation's disadvantaged children.
"The American Dental Association is excited to be working with Rep. Cummings and the cosponsors of his legislation to improve access to oral health care for our most vulnerable citizens," Prentice said. "Deamonte's Law is an important piece of our agenda to ensure that all children receive the dental care they need. We are particularly pleased that the bill highlights the need for pediatric dental specialists."
The bill honors the memory of Deamonte Driver, a Maryland boy who died in February from a brain infection that apparently stemmed from untreated dental disease. It seeks to improve access to dental care for underserved children, increasing the number of dentists specially trained to treat children and increasing the capacity of community health centers to provide that treatment.
The 155,000 members of the ADA urge Congress to pass Deamonte's Law as a meaningful step toward ensuring that all children get the dental care they need and deserve.
April 8, 2007 16:10 - New Theradent Oral Rinse Helps Provide Lasting Relief Of Dental Sensitivity
Niles, IL - Alva-Amco Pharmacal Cos., Inc., an OTC Pharmaceutical company, launched
new THERADENT (TM) teeth desensitizing oral rinse, the first OTC medicated oral rinse for relief of painful
dental sensitivity to cold, heat, sweets and contact, commonly caused by worn enamel and receding
gum lines.THERADENT contains four homeopathic active ingredients that work to help reduce sensitivity without
the abrasion or pain of added brushing. THERADENT’s alcohol-free formula can reach tooth surfaces
and into spaces that might be difficult or painful to reach with a toothbrush. A one teaspoon swish twice
a day provides relief and leaves a clean, fresh taste that is not rinsed out.
"Millions of people who have excellent oral hygiene habits often suffer from dental sensitivity," notes
Dr. David B. Schwartz, DDS., a Chicago-area dentist in private practice. "Typically, years of grinding,
clenching and vigorous brushing wears away gums and enamel, thus exposing tooth nerves to painful
stimulation. The increased use of cosmetic bleaching has also increased the reported incidence of oral
sensitivity. THERADENT can bring relief to these patients."
Dr. Schwartz notes that until recently, the only non-prescription medicated treatment available to
consumers was medicated toothpaste. "Now a non-prescription medicated treatment for oral sensitivity
is available in a convenient oral rinse that can be used daily as part of any good oral hygiene regimen."
THERADENT is available in the oral care section of leading pharmacies. An 8 ounce bottle costs
about $10.00, and each package contains a dosing cup. Stocking retailers are listed on the
brand’s website, www.THERADENT.net.
