IONIC TOOTH BRUSH AND ITS MECHANISM OF ACTION

Everybody knows regular brushing is the first step to healthy teeth and gums. Frequent brushing removes residue from tooth surfaces and prevents decay, but in the areas of the mouth where regular bristles won’t reach, plaque deposits can build up putting you at risk for tooth decay and gum disease.

Fortunately, there is an effective weapon against plaque that will protect your teeth and gums between visits to the dentist. Brushing with the Ionic Toothbrush actually helps teeth repel plaque, even in hard-to-reach cracks and crevices between teeth.

The Ionic toothbrush works on the principle that every element in nature has a positive or negative charge. This is called polarity. When the polarities are opposite, the two elements cling together. That’s why dust sticks to your coffee table and why plaque, which has a positive charge (+), clings stubbornly to your negatively charged (-) teeth. The Ionic Action toothbrush temporarily reverses polarity of the tooth surface from negative (-) to positive (+), drawing plaque towards the negatively charged Ionic Toothbrush head.

When you brush with Ionic Toothbrush, a constant flow of positive ions (+) from the lithium power source temporarily reverses your teeth’s polarity. This makes your teeth reject plaque, even in areas that aren’t touched by Ionic Toothbrush bristles. The Ionic Toothbrush handle is only slightly larger in size than a manual toothbrush, and has been specially designed with a small brush head to reach hard-to-clean areas of teeth. The toothbrush handle contains the power source responsible for the ionization.

When the Ionic Toothbrush is held in your hand and the bristles of the brush head touch your teeth in the presence of saliva or water, an imperceptible electronic circuit is created. The power source for the circuit is encased in the handle section, and covered with a metal pad. When brushing, the user must simply keep a finger or part of the palm in contact with the pad, perferably wet, and brush as usual. The electron flow attracts plaque to the negative bristles for removal. This process is safe, simple and effective.
