sensational smiles morgan james publishging press release
Author, Dentist, Oral HealthCare Educator Dr Garth Pettit states parents and teachers have been innocently perpetrating oral diseases by telling children Brush Your Teeth, advice given by both the dental profession and allied dental industries, the perpetrators. He condemns this instruction for being a cause of the easily preventable oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum diseases, bad breath and stained teeth.
Dr Pettit claims the need now for better oral hygiene advice is urgent and discusses this and his ideas on oral healthcare and oral health education in his new book STOP THE ROT, Stop Telling Children Brush Your Teeth; Publisher, Morgan James Publishing; Graphic Design, 3 Dogs Design.
Dr Pettit believes the two key role players to preventing oral diseases in children are parents and school teachers who should be giving children the most up-to-date and ideal oral hygiene instruction Treat Your Whole Mouth.
Dr Pettit cites two recent research results that confirm direct links between gum diseases and heart diseases and also with atherosclerosis.
Professor Howard Jenkinson of the University of Bristol in Britain said in relation to gum diseases ” We now recognize that bacterial infections are an independent risk factor for heart diseases”.
“Separate research by a team led by Professor Greg Seymour of the University of Otago in New Zealand research showed that other bacteria in the mouth can provoke atherosclerosis, a disease that causes hardening of the arteries”
Dr Pettit claims the current world wide economic crisis has increased the number of people who can not afford the cost of dental treatment emphasizing their need for better oral hygiene advice.
Dr Pettit, a dentist treating oral diseases from November 1953 until retiring in 1991, decided, in 1996, to put his knowledge of hands-on dentistry into preventing oral diseases. Twelve years later he has a collection of resources each based on the same oral hygiene instruction he created in 2001, Treat Your Whole Mouth.
Dr Pettit’s collection of resources titled MouthWise Oral HealthCare Education Resources include videos, PowerPoint presentations, The MouthWise Oral Health Kit for 5 to 11 year old children ( a set of 10 books subtitled Visits 1 to 10 to GarGar The Dentist and a C.D.) and these two books; SENSATIONAL SMILES Simple Advice 4 Your Smile 2 Shine From Teen Age to Old Age and STOP THE ROT Stop Telling Children Brush Your Teeth.
Dr Pettit announces in STOP THE ROT the November-December 2008 opening of his new website MouthWiseMembers.com, by ExtremeMember.com, where parents, teachers,schools and individuals can choose from different levels of memberships to access his MouthWise Oral HealthCare Education Resources.
Dr Pettit believes his new book is the most important document ever written on oral health. He claims his five previous press releases listed below to prevent oral disease in children received only one response from the dental profession and that was from a San Fransisco dentist who plagiarized a Morgan James Publishing press release by substituting his name for “Dr Pettit” on his website. Which raises the question says Dr Pettit “Is the dental profession serious about preventing oral diseases”?

Front Cover, STOP THE ROT
Dr. Garth Pettit’s new book, Stop The Rot, presents parents with the medical studies that now prove that gum disease is an indicator of more serious ailments, including heart disease, and offers instruction on using a full oral hygiene program to not only stop the rot but to gain better health.
(Morgan James Publishing Press Release) December 31, 2008 – Dr. Garth Pettit’s first book, Sensational Smiles, was written for readers to bring their attention to the importance of using a full oral hygiene regim to prevent the easily preventable disases such as tooth decay, gum diseases, bad breath and stained teeth. His new book, Stop The Rot, goes one step further. He presents parents with the medical studies that now prove that gum disease is an indicator of more serious ailments, including heart disease, and offers instruction on using a full oral hygiene program to not only stop the rot but to gain better health.
Typical oral health education traditionally relies on the old adage “brush your teeth” to maintain good oral health. Oral health educator Dr. Garth Pettit says that this habit, begun in the 15th century, has actually been proven not to eliminate preventable oral diseases. He maintains that it’s this instruction that has created the demands for not only dental services but general health visits as well. “If people were taught from an early age to care for their entire mouth there would be less need for not only those dreaded visits to the dentist’s office but would certainly affect visits to other doctors as well, ” he says.
Dr. Pettit says that as long as parents, along with any schools that have oral health education programs, base their children’s smiles on the instruction”brush your teeth” are making a big mistake. Parents and teachers who care about the general health of children will be intrigued to learn that taking care of one’s entire mouth prevents more than just gum disease. It prevents other more serious diseases as well so why not learn good habits from a young age?
Stop The Rot not only presents the newcientific evidence that brushing is not enough but offers parents and readers of any age an easy-to-understand program they can use themselves and teach to children. Dr. Pettits adaptation of the “treat your whole mouth” school of thought is a complete oral hygiene program that not only cleans mouth surfaces but leaves the teeth, gums and tongue surfaces fully protected against easily preventable oral and other general health-related diseases.
Dr. Garth Pettit was raised and educated in South Australia. He was in private dental practice in Australia and the UK before retiring. Since his retirement he has been tirelessly researching oral healthcare. He has discovered the shocking lack of updated educational resources available in treating preventable oral diseases, particularly pertaining to children ansd teenagers. He continues to advocate better mouthcare for people of every age.

Rostrevor, South Australia
(PRWEB) November 8, 2004 — Dr. Garth D Pettit is a second-time retired dentist. Instead of the golf courses he chose to follow his passion to be a full time oral healthcare educator to help children to prevent oral disease. He passionately believes he knows how to prevent oral disease in children. The ’secret weapon he believes he has in his armoury to prevent oral disease in children is his new oral hygiene instruction ‘Treat Your Mouth. ‘Brush Your Teeth, he claims in his recently launched web blog site ‘Prevent Oral Disease in Children, is flawed and even contributes to oral disease in children. He believes ‘The Colgate-Palmolive and American Dental Association October 1, 2004 Launch of ‘Save The World from Cavities Campaign to Prevent Tooth Decay in Children will also fail in its objective if it too has been based on the oral hygiene instruction ‘Brush Your Teeth.From 1997 to 2002 Dr Pettit was responsible for the annual screening (recording decayed, missing and filled teeth) at several remote community schools. Rampant tooth decay was the norm for most children in all schools. One school was regularly different. In this school there was a dramatic reduction in the incidence of childrens oral disease but only in the children in two particular classrooms. The two teachers of these classrooms provided their students with a wholesome breakfast each morning. Following breakfast each student was given a tooth brush on which the teachers placed some tooth paste. The teachers then instructed the children to ‘brush your teeth and rinse and rinse your brush under the tap. Then the first lesson of the day began. (more…) -
