San Francisco Dentist advocates change from “Brush Your Teeth” to “Treat Your Whole Mouth
Oral health education traditionally relies on the old adage “brush your teeth” to maintain good oral health. Oral health educator Dr. John Chaves says that by raising children to just brush their teeth has not yet proved to eliminate preventable oral diseases. He maintains that it’s this instruction that has created the high demand for dental services whereas if people were taught from an early age to care for their entire mouth there would be less need for those dreaded visits.
For more than fifteen years, Dr. John Chaves has advocated new oral hygiene instruction for children that involves a fully comprehensive program for treating the whole mouth. Instructions for brushing your teeth have been around since the 15th century yet there has been to prove that brushing alone can completely eliminate easily preventable oral diseases.
Based on his research, Dr. John Chaves has created what he calls Mouthwise™ Oral Hygiene instruction “Treat Your Whole Mouth” to help everyone become self-motivated to prevent oral diseases. Sensational Smiles: Simple Advice 4 Your Smile 2 Shine From Teenage to Old Age is filled with pithy quotes, photos, and easy-to-understand information about caring for your mouth. Dr. John Chaves offers step-by-step instruction on cleaning the upper and lower jaw, tongue, lips and cheeks before even using toothpaste! He gives detailed instruction on how to correctly use toothpaste to clean your mouth and also offers up the latest facts on fluoride, mouthwash, flossing and electric toothbrushes along with essential data about the effects of certain foods and sugar on your smile.
