Secrets of Multi-Taskers

In the Land of the Attention Economy the Multi-Tasker will be King.

Let face it, Oral Hygiene is an Onerous Chore for most people.

I mean,  benefits that you’ll be Healthy and have “Kissing Sweet Breath” may be appealing to many people, but brushing, flossing, Water-Piking, and/or gargling can demand too much Time from an over-crammed agenda.

That’s why I have had so much success with the Multi-Tasker Oral Hygiene Regime.  I suggest this routine to my patients whose schedules hardly leave time to choke down a can of Ensure at lunchtime.

I make soft tooth covers that fit like gloves and have our time-poor patients wear the “tooth-gloves” filled with alternating cleansing solutions for 15 minutes a day. Once the healing solution filled tooth covers are seated on the teeth, the Multi-Tasking can begin.
Read, compute, pump iron, cogitate, stand on your head, write love letters, Smell the Roses, do isometircs, drive to work, knit, go swimming, Twitter; all to your heart’s content.
At the end of the fifteen minutes, remove the mouth guards, expectorate and get on with living – in a week even our most grudging patients can see the profound improvement in their gum health—With no wasted time.
Sure maybe they do squeeze in a little tooth brushing and "Water Piking". But the concentrated healing solutions being distributed in between the teeth and under the gums are undiluted by Saliva for those fifteen minutes and the resulting healthy gums would make any Evidence-Based-Dentist kvell in satisfaction.
