How does BrushRush work and achieve its effects??
The BrushRush contains xylitol, calcium carbonate and thymol. It does not contain ordinary sugar or sugar substitutes such as aspartame.
Dentists recommend brushing after every meal, but for many people this will remain impractical or hard to do. Teeth are at their most vulnerable directly after meals and snacks, when plaque acid levels rise dramatically
Teeth are attacked by acid plaque directly after meals or snacks when the acid level is as its highest. The problem is that brushing can be difficult or awkward during this high acid level two hours after a meal, when most of the decay takes place.
To remedy this situation, you need a simpler and more practical means of cleaning your teeth. Here Ethix Medical wellness experts came up with the brilliant Brush Rush chewing gum formula.
The American Dental Association explains that chewing gum increases the flow of saliva. During chewing, saliva flow increases to about 10 times the usual rate. This in turn helps to flush sugars, food debris and decay-causing acids out of the mouth. The mild alkaline nature of saliva, which is attributed to hydrogen carbonate ions, helps to prevent tooth decay by neutralizing acids in the mouth. In addition, chewing gum flushes out acids in the mouth within minutes, thus greatly slowing down tooth decay.
The benefits arise from the fact that quick disposal of these harmful acids will reduce or eliminate tooth decay, which occurs when essential minerals are dissolved from the tooth enamel by acids produced by the bacteria in plaque.
Sugarless gum is recommended because the sugar in regular gum can be converted to acids by plaque bacteria on the teeth and cause tooth decay.
Xylitol, a component in BrushRush, has been demonstrated to prevent tooth decay in hundreds of studies that have been undertaken by many prestigious dental research centers and dental researchers. It has been proven that xylitol promotes dental health. It helps reduce the incidence of dental cavities and prevent plaque formation.
Xylitol has long term effects in preventing the formation of plaque. Currently, chewing gum containing Xylitol forms part of MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) rations, used by the military and in large scale emergencies, to be taken after meals as a measure of preventing tooth decay and maintaining healthy teeth. Xylitol is the only sweetener (100%)used in BrushRush.
The other important ingredient is calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate is an antacid that would neutralize most of the acid generated in the mouth after meals or snacks. Neutralizing the acid is the main task of the cleaning and brushing process after meals. Acid formation after meals leads to the enamel erosion due to the corrosive nature of the acid.
Thymol is one of the constituents of the oil of the thyme (Thymus Vulgaris.) It is used as an antiseptic in mouth wash preparations. As a potent antimicrobial agent, it exerts its antibacterial effect on the bacteria that causes the fermentation of food in the mouth, rendering those microorganisms incapable of performing their destructive role.
Thymol, with its aromatic character, adds a pleasant and refreshing effect to the mouth.
