Stop the Rot - by Garth Pettit (Paperback)

About the Book

For more than five centuries children have been told to brush their teeth. In this book, Pettit argues that brushing does not leave the whole mouth clean--he says it actually makes teeth vulnerable and does not prevent oral diseases.

Review Quotes

""As a semi-retired itinerant dentist for the last two years, I have worked in many practices in four states. I am yet to find a practice which educates people in the use of the so-called 'tooth' brush. This book has it all. Read it.
