Dr Joseph Phillips explains The Blotting Technique for healthier teeth and gums.

The complete guide to The Blotting Technique as explained by Dr Phillips. At the moment these brushes are available internationally from www.resourcesforlife.net

The clip is an old converted video (fashions and hairstyles are definitely last century!) but the information contained here is extremely valuable.

I suggest you use the brushes daily and 'blot' the teeth and gums very gently. No toothpaste is required. The gentler the better. Use a tapping motion rather than a brushing action. It may take a while to become used to this way of cleaning your teeth but it works so much better than 'conventional' brushing.

The blotting action stimulates the gums whereas brushing with toothpaste deals only with the teeth. This 'conventional' method of brushing merely pushes plaque from one side to the other and into the gum crevice where gum disease starts.

Two points about the clip:

1. The small head brush referred to has not been in production for some time but we are making them available again from mid-November 2011.

2. At several points during the clip Dr Phillips suggests you swallow the saliva that has built up as you brush. I suggest you spit this out instead.

A close up film clip on tooth enamel has recently been released. We all believe the enamel surface of our teeth to have a smooth surface. Watch the short film and understand why we need to keep our teeth clean and free of the bacteria that causes gum disease. It is really worth watching all the way through.

Reply # 3 Whether or not this works can easily be checked by using indicator paper on saliva and urine. Have you had an opportunity to try ‘blotting’ for yourself?

Apologies for the separated replies but I am limited by the numbers of characters on each

Reply # 2 Also that any technique is only as good as its ‘operator’. We have had responses from Blotting Brush users that have used the brushes and subsequently stained with first class results. Others don’t ‘get it’ or are lazy with their brushing habits and don’t see such good results.

We have to distinguish between good & bad plaque (Dr. Ellie Phillips “Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye”) hence what we need to do beside the Blotting Technique is supplement the body with a healthy, alkaline diet.

Reply # 1 Dr. Phillips proved over decades that this technique works. I spoke with Dr Phillips while he was alive and to other US dentists who use these brushes and the Blotting Technique.

You are quite correct in that the bristles aren´t long enough to reach deep pockets therefore It is important undergo deep cleaning with a dental hygienist to remove all calculus. Even better if this can be done before commencing ‘blotting’ so that the procedure is for maintenance.

I'm afraid this is silly. While there is some validity to the idea, the anatomy of the root surfaces prevents blotting from completely cleaning the plaque. If you've lost attachment with deeper pockets you'll expose concave root surfaces especially between the molars and the bristles can't get deep enough. You can see this in the video. Any good dentist will be able to use a stain to determine if your technique is working. Good flossing technique is most important.HNW D.M.D

I have watched this several times and either learn something new or refresh old information. It makes complete sense!
