The blotting brush: what is it?
Originally developed in 1969, the Blotting Brush is generally smaller and has textured bristles that are finer than those used on conventional brushes. The bristles are designed to go under the gum line and between the teeth to attract plaque and food particles using capillary action in the bristles that pulls plaque and debris out of the crevices of the gums. Complete with a retention cover to protect and reshape the bristles, it is recommended that each brush is used for only 2-3 weeks to maintain its performance.
If your teeth and gums are in especially bad condition to begin with, use the brush for only 1-2 weeks. If they are in exceptionally bad condition, use each Blotting Brush for a few days before changing them.
Dr. Phillips told his patients, “If you have them, delete them.”
At the renowned Munro-Hall Clinic in Bedford, England, they have developed a special treatment incorporating the Blotting Brush for patients with exceptionally difficult gum conditions.
What’s so special about the sow?
Although many toothbrush manufacturers use the basic nylon bristles, the difference is that the Blotting Brush has a texturing process on the ends of the bristles which is what gives them their capillary action. The action is the pulling or pulling effect that helps remove plaque from the mouth in the drying process, drawing it towards the brush and then allowing it to be removed from the mouth, either by suction or rinsing. This capillary action is the basic premise of the Blotting Technique. If you look closely at a blotting brush, you can see the texture.
Dr. Phillips’ patients described it as “the bristles with the split ends.”
You can’t remove plaque from your teeth and gums with a conventional toothbrush! This can only be achieved using the Blotting Brush. Once you’ve purchased a blotter brush, you’re the proud owner of the world’s smallest but most effective gum health kit.
true story
Dr. Phillips’ granddaughter recently visited a dentist in Chicago. The dentist commented that she had remarkably healthy gums to which she replied that her grandfather had been a dentist and developed a special brush that she still uses. Taking care of her family’s gums was second nature. In their conversation, the dentist commented that he had heard of Dr. Phillips and his toothbrush, but dentistry had come by leaps and bounds since his grandfather’s time and they had all kinds of equipment and procedures to deal with today’s problems. , implying that Dr. Phillips’ techniques were outdated.
Dr. Phillips’ granddaughter asked the dentist what the main problems were. The dentist replied “deterioration of the gums and cavities”. She smiled at him and said, “So your training and equipment is specifically to fix problems rather than prevent them?” The dentist admitted that he couldn’t run a practice any other way since there was no money in prevention.”
