Pasteless Toothbrush

Japenese scientists have recently developed a toothbrush which does not require the use of toothpaste.The brush cleans teeth by producing an electrical current inside the mouth which clears plaque from the teeth.
The PM or the "Proton Magnesium Toothbrush" has two metal discs inserted on back made of magnesium and copper.These discs interact with each other in the saliva creating a low voltage electric current which magnetizes plague away from teeth and kill bacteria which causes bad breath.It unleashes between .8 to 1.8 volts of electricity with a current ranging from 300 to 3000 micro amps.
The brush costs about US $12.

Just 5 steps to Dental Hygiene

1)Brushing - Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft brush.

Technique of Brushing
Brush your teeth the way they grow that is, the upper one grow downwards so brush them downwards and the lower one grow upwards so brush them upwards.In addition to this brush the grinding surfaces also.

2)Use Mouthwash if you have bad breath once before going to bed that is after night brushing.

3)Use Interdental Brushes if there are gaps in between your teeth.

4)Use Dental Floss at least twice a week but use it correctly.You can ask your dentist for the right techniques because it is difficult to explain it here.

5)Rinse thoroughly after every meal you take.
