Abstract
An acidic solution is applied to the tooth surface in the oral cavity and has the ingredients thymol, eucalyptol and menthol. It kills bacteria in the mouth and makes the environment acidic. The acidity in the oral cavity causes demineralization to occur, releasing calcium and phosphate through open pores in the tooth surface. The acidic solution is removed from the oral cavity after a predetermined amount of time. The non-acidic mouthwash is applied to the tooth surface subsequent to the removal of the acidic solution. It has sodium fluoride and works to neutralize acidic conditions in the oral cavity allowing remineralization to occur. Calcium and phosphate ions fill the open pores in the tooth surface, hardening the enamel. After a predetermined amount of time the user removes the non-acidic solution.
Claims15
A process for treating teeth to kill bacteria and remineralize tooth crystals comprising the steps of:
- applying a quantity of acidic mouthwash to the teeth for a first period of time in order to kill bacteria and open pores in tooth surface;
- removing the acidic mouthwash and leaving the mouth at a residual acidic level;
- and
- while the oral cavity of the mouth is in a residual, acidic state, applying a remineralizing mouthwash to the teeth comprising one or more promoters for enhancing the absorbing and crystallization of said tooth crystal ions into the tooth crystals, for a second period of time in order to neutralize the residual acidic level and to promote the remineralization of tooth crystals.
A process for treating teeth comprising steps in the sequence set forth:
- applying an acidic solution to the surface of teeth in the oral cavity, said acidic solution comprising Thymol, Eucalyptol and Menthol wherein solution has an antibacterial effect that kills oral bacteria and opens pores in the teeth allowing the release of calcium and phosphate ions;
- removing said acidic solution from the oral cavity;
- applying a non-acidic solution to the surface of teeth subsequent to said acidic solution;
- said non-acidic solution comprising sodium fluoride to neutralize acidic conditions in the mouth, prevent oral bacterial re-growth and remineralize teeth by filling open pores with calcium and phosphate;
- and
- removing said non-acidic solution from the oral cavity.
A process for treating teeth comprising steps in the sequence set forth:
- a. rinsing mouth thoroughly with 20 ml of Listerine for 30 seconds;
- b. disposing of said Listerine;
- c. rinsing mouth thoroughly with 10 ml of Act for one minute so that said Act comprising fluoride remineralizes teeth by filling open pores with calcium and organic phosphate and neutralizing acidic conditions in the mouth;
- and
- d. disposing of said Act.
