A New Angle on Brushing Your Teeth

PEARLAND, Texas, Dec. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Look around you – at least seven out of ten people in the US have bacterial gum disease and most of them don't even know it.  An estimated 70% of Americans are suffering with gum disease right now largely in part to how the toothbrush is held, specifically the position of the arm, wrist and hand, while brushing. Gum disease is preventable with the right technique; so MD Brush designed a toothbrush from scratch – the MD Brush – to put an end to gum disease.

The MD Brush corrects the user by guiding the hand, wrist and arm into the correct position. With two US patents, the MD Brush is an ergonomically-designed toothbrush specifically crafted to target the gingival sulcus; the difficult to clean space found between the tooth and the gum. This state-of-the-art toothbrush teaches you what truly effective brushing looks and feels like. The MD Brush guides you into the most effective position – 45 degrees to the gum line – to achieve the best results.

Inflamed and bleeding gums, a signature of gum disease, allow bacteria to directly enter your blood stream.  This means millions of people are at risk of serious systemic illnesses, because gum disease is now linked as a contributing factor to the development of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis, pulmonary infection, stroke, Alzheimer's, cancer and erectile dysfunction.

It only takes 48 hours for oral bacteria to reach toxic levels and create disease triggering inflammation. Gum disease can be prevented by brushing at a 45 degree angle, the preferred method according to the ADA. This technique allows the toothbrush bristles to reach into and below the gum line where bacteria proliferate.

The MD Brush, including the Precision Grip, "Smart Mark" indicators and multi-tasking bristles, is designed to ensure you clean your mouth more effectively than ever before. The ergonomically-designed grip fits comfortably and securely in your hand and positions the patented "W cut" tapered bristles into the correct 45 degree alignment to reach into and clean the sulcus while simultaneously cleaning the tooth. The shaft also features "Smart Mark" indicators, visual cues that indicate when the brush head is in the correct position.  You then just provide the motion, short back-and-forth strokes. Now you are brushing like the pros – it's how they were taught. Don't be surprised if you bleed the first time you try it... 7 out of 10 people will.

Studies show that we change our toothbrushes about half as often as we should.  Bristles lose elasticity and integrity after approximately ninety days, so it's essential to switch out your brush every three months. MD Brush takes the guess work out – simply log on to mdbrush.com and select the plan that's right for you.  MD Brush lets you know when it's time to toss the old and unleash the new.   

Founded by a dentist and hygienist, Mike Smith, DDS and Mike Davidson, RDH, BSDH, have worked on teeth and gums every day for more than 40 years collectively. They created MD Brush with the goal of providing the general public a superior toothbrush that proactively addresses the most common user errors and thereby prevents the onset of gum disease... and, of course, cleans your mouth.
