Preventing oral disease in children has been my #1 focus since ending my first retirement from dental practice in December 1992. I believed young children were entitled to a better, comprehensive oral health education with their parents as oral healthcare educators and their teachers as oral health educators. Discovering ‘Brush Your Teeth” contributed to oral disease I created “Treat Your Whole Mouth”. Help me to “Let Children’s Natural Smiles, God’s Blessings, Last Children Millions of Miles!”
A nearly three-times-retired old dentist with a passion to help people of all ages, but especially children, prevent the easily preventable diseases; tooth decay, gum diseases, bad breath and stained teeth
A 509 Year Old Anniversary!
26 June, 2007, Katherine N.T. Australia
Thank you profusely to That Emperor of China, who on the 26th Day of June 1498 patented the first 'bristle tooth brush'.
HOW LONG AGO WAS THAT ?
PRECISELY, 509YEARS AGO!!!!!!!!!!
I suggest you search Google or Yahoo using the search term 'china 1498 bristle tooth brush'. You will find some very interesting information which will help you to realise that the tooth cleaning instruction "Brush Your Teeth" is from the same era.
BUT IT, "Brush Your Teeth", IS NOW WELL PAST IT'S USE-BY-DATE, IN THIS YEAR 2007, in the 21st CENTURY.
Please do not ever again tell YOUR children to 'Brush Your Teeth'.
The only way for them to bannish oral disease for life is for YOU to advise your children to "Treat Your Whole Mouth".

Dentist Dr Garth Pettit Campaigns Again To Not Advise Children 'Brush Your Teeth'
Garth Pettit, June 6, 2007, Katherine, N.T. Australia
Where am I now?
I came out of retirement again last January 2006 and since then have been the Dentist Manager NT Government Oral Health Services in Katherine in The Northern Territory of Australia. Another posting involving supplying oral health services to adults and particularly to schools and school children.
MORE PARTICULARLY, to preventing oral diseases in children!
What have I been doing since my last blog up-date? Not sleeping! Not dozing! Not playing golf! Not holidaying in exotic places! But patiently, perseveringly and persistently plodding on with my passion to prevent oral diseases. Especially by educating children to become self-motivated to prevent oral disease throughout their lifetimes.
However, recently, precisely in fact, on 12/05/2007 USA time, I received a massive jolt to my mental, emotional and spiritual self. A mind boggling stopper of gigantic proportions! Energy comparable with a destructive Tsunami!
Immense energy, but GIGANTIC, CONSTRUCTIVE, CREATIVE POSITIVE, ENERGY! It was a simple affirmation of an amazing opportunity to super charge my passion to prevent oral diseases in children. I grasped it.
MASSIVE AND FREE PUBLICITY!! Publicity to use as you freely you chose to use. No restrictions to your creativity!
I had just received the following email from Ben Mack:
"Dare to be naive. " -R. Buckminster FullerWHO ELSE WANTS TO BE IN...A Reality TV show about newbies making a million dollars online 1) Pilot TV show has a $25,000 cash prize, guaranteed. Garth, first you win $25,000 cash, then the world's best mentors in the world coach you directly on making another $975,000. 2) PR Goal: Create 1+ new Internet millionaire (Joel needs to make at least one millionaire in order to get GREAT publicity)Garth, Are you willing to be one of 12 guinea-pigs?Casting is now open...http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?K9k23O7YqmZSq44BFdjHLQAre you:-> Lovable-> Motivated by money-> Geeky-> Sexy, or-> Controversial?We think we want you, Garth.

BenEnter now...http://clicks.aweber.com/z/ct/?K9k23O7YqmZSq44BFdjHLQ
Blog readers, the ‘only compete if you are ok with getting massive publicity...’ stopped me dead in my tracks and since then I have been getting on with the job of initiating the first installment of MASSIVE publicity to help prevent oral diseases in children.
I saw it as the GREATEST EVER OPPORTUNITY, an opportunity far greater than anything I could realistically have imagined. It could lead me to helping millions of children, around the whole world, to prevent oral diseases. The opportunity was simply in the form of an internet video competition.
The contest was the brain child of Joel Comm, an eminently successful internet marketing guru. There was no cost to submit an audition video.
I kept looking over and over and over at Ben Mack’s email and decided to go for it..
I had my friend Richard Coburn film my audition video.
I uploaded my audition video into YouTube’s website, completed registration details and received an email of acceptance as a contender for the competition “Next Internet Millionaire”. That was at 00:10 on 25/05/2007. The first round voting was already well advanced, having started on May 9 2007 and scheduled to end on June 6 2007.
However, despite my video being given 4.3 out of 5 for content and 0 from 5 for votes, I was immediately located in the Top 50 contestants! Clearly, I had some work to do to get votes, more votes and more votes to get into the second round.

Katherine, Northern Territory, Australia (PRWEB) May 26, 2007 -- Dr Pettit has persistently pursued, in a 6 year long battle against authorities of Dental Profession and Education Departments, banishing the oral hygiene instruction "Brush Your Teeth" and replacing it with "Treat Your Whole Mouth". Education Departments take advice from the Dental Profession and use resources provided by them or by dentifrice manufacturers when preparing oral health and oral healthcare education lessons for children in classrooms. The advice they give, "Brush Your Teeth", is a 15th Century tooth cleaning instruction. Garth's Next Internet Millionaire Audition To gain publicity for his campaign to banish oral disease in children Dr Pettit has auditioned for The Next Internet Millionaire Contest. Dentist, Dr. Garth Pettit's previous campaigns with resultant world-wide interest are documented in these three previous PRWeb press releases: Dr Pettit's PRWeb press release, November 8th 2004, titled "New Oral Hygiene Instruction Set To Prevent Oral Disease In Children" has a reading count of 118,478 and has been picked up by 3,395 consumer/ media persons. http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/11/prweb176228.htm Dr Pettit's PRWeb press release, November 9th 2004, titled "New Oral Hygiene Instruction "Treat Your Mouth" Predicted To Prevent Oral Disease In Children.

UPDATES ON MY PRESS RELEASES
Because of the enormous interest shown worldwide in my three press releases, I thought I would like to share some statistics with my readers, on a regular basis, and to thank those countries who have published the articles in their media. The more help I am able to get, the more we, together, are able to prevent unnecessary oral disease, not only in young children but for anyone else of any age who has all or even only some of their natural teeth.
As interesting and exciting as these statistics may be, the statistics I am really looking forward to viewing and disclosing are any that indicate, as a result of our efforts, reductions in the demand for easily preventable oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath and stained teeth. Please let me know when you have any such indications.
My three press releases are:
1. “New Oral Hygiene Instruction Set to Prevent Oral Disease in Children”.
2. New Oral Hygiene Instruction “Treat Your Mouth” Predicted to Prevent Oral Disease in Children. ‘Brush Your Teeth” Contributes to Oral Disease and Should be Banished.

Prevent Oral Disease in Children Easily
I Have Begun a New Oral Health Campaign, “The MouthWiseLife Campaign to Prevent Oral Disease in Children”. It Will Target Mothers of Young Children Because I Believe The Dental Profession Has Adopted a “Sweep it Under The Carpet” Attitude About My Recently Released Oral Disease Prevention Information and My MouthWise Oral Health Education Resources, Therefore The Information is Being Denied to Mothers of Young Children. I am Very Aware of This Oral Health Related Information, for the Past 3 years, Being Met With Deafening Silence Locally, Nationally and Internationally, By the Dental Profession. I Refuse to Stand By Idly, Allowing Children to Suffer Easily Preventable Oral Disease Because of Any Reasons The Dental Profession May Have for Their Silence. “The MouthWiseLife Campaign to Prevent Oral Disease in Children” Has Begun.
I have begun a new oral health campaign, “The MouthWiseLife Campaign to Prevent Oral Disease in Children”. It will target mothers of young children because I believe the dental profession has adopted a “sweep it under the carpet” attitude about my recently released oral disease prevention information and therefore the information is being denied to mothers of young children
Worldwide interest has been immense in my two November 2004 press releases, “New Oral Hygiene Instruction ‘Treat Your Mouth’ Predicted to Prevent Oral Disease in Children” and “New Oral Hygiene Instruction ‘Treat Your Mouth’, Predicted to Prevent Oral Disease in Children. “Brush Your Teeth’ Contributes to Oral Disease and Should be Banished”. Worldwide interest in these press releases continues even now, 6 months later, showing little sign of a lack of continuing interest. Statistics are currently 196,574 Reads, 2,574 Identifiable Media Pick-ups from 34 identified countries (82%) and remaining 18% representing un-identifiable countries.
But I am concerned this oral disease prevention information is being ‘swept under the carpet’ by the dental profession. I believe the dental profession is not passing this information on to children’s ideal oral health educators, their mothers, nor to relative authorities. I believe children are being denied a right to better oral healthcare advice. Three years prior to the two press releases, the same oral disease prevention information, together with details of the MouthWise Oral Health Education Resources was made available to the dental profession both locally and internationally. Their unanimous reply has been a long, deafening, silence.
I have now committed myself to focus my efforts entirely on MUMS. On MUMS all around the world. I will focus on MUMS because I know they are children’s ideal oral health educators. I know “Treat Your Mouth” is the ideal oral hygiene instruction to give their children. I believe “The MouthWise Oral Health Kit” is the best oral healthcare education resource for MUMS to use in their oral health educator role. I believe oral disease in children is, with a few simple but radical changes, easily preventable. Enough reasons for silence?
I am determined to overcome the bottlenecks created to prevent mothers of young children accessing information that is vital to their children’s oral health. I have now announced a new, international campaign to specifically target mothers with his oral disease preventive information and oral health education resources. The campaign has been named “The MouthWiseLife Campaign to Prevent Oral Disease in Children”.
I believe “The MouthWiseLife Campaign to Prevent Oral Disease in Children” will succeed. The campaign promotion combines good old fashioned ‘word-of-mouth’ advertising, ‘people power’, financial incentives and three modern technologies, a C.D, a computer and the internet.. MouthWiseLife, a new division of my company 4 Your Smile 2 Shine Pty. Ltd., has been created to carry the banner for the campaign. MouthWiseLife Presenters, who will be independent distributors, will directly target the mothers of young children. MouthWiseLife Presenters need only the information packed C.D., “The MouthWiseLife Presentation C.D”, and a computer to present new oral disease prevention information and MouthWise oral health education resources to mothers. An internet connection will enable access to additional, related information and enable e-commerce transactions. Presenters have no need to offer, indeed are instructed to not offer, any additional information to that presented in the C.D. or to the linked information from it. Financial incentives, for both presenter and purchaser will add zeal and zest to the campaign. But, I believe, the real winners will be young children, preventing oral disease easily.
I passionately believe that the mothers of every young child, wherever and whoever they are they are, are children’s best oral health educators and that it is mothers who should be given the opportunity to decide which oral health educator is best for their children and which oral hygiene instruction is best for their children and which oral health education resource is best for their children and which oral health education program is best for their children. I firmly believe that mothers are being denied the opportunities to assess all available information relevant to these considerations. It is absolutely essential for mothers to have all related information for children to educate children and then more predictably eliminate the easily preventable oral diseases of tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath and stained teeth.
MouthWiseLife Presenters must be aged 18 years or over. Knowledge of and access to a computer, access to the internet and an email address are the only essentials. MouthWiseLife Presenters could be mothers themselves, health professionals, backpackers, unemployed, students or anyone else. Ideally dentists! MouthWiseLife Presenters could be anyone who simply wants to help children prevent oral disease or simply anyone needing to make a few extra dollars. The concept is simple. For example, a backpacker could be talking to a mother, a stranger, at an airport terminal, present the information on The MouthWiseLife Presentation C.D. to that mother and then assist that mother to purchase, online, MouthWise oral health education resources.
There are just 4 easy steps to become a MouthWiseLife Presenter and independent distributor. 1. Purchase The MouthWiseLife Presentation C.D. online at www.mouthwiselife.com 2. From the same website send an email request for an application form. 3. Complete the Application Form and email it back. 4. Check incoming emails for the special discount code needed to conduct 25% discounted online sales. Details of the 25% Presenter Discount Coupon are found on the same website. The presenter and the customer are intended to share the 25% discount. Customer receives 10% discount on the purchase. Customer rewards the presenter with the balance 15%. But children are intended to receive the best reward of all. Preventing oral disease easily!
“The MouthWiseLife Presentation C.D.” is a Microsoft Power Point presentation that directly addresses mothers. “The MouthWiseLife Presentation C.D.” has 24 slides and is easily operated by clicking the mouse to pass from one slide to the next. There is ample information in the presentation itself for mothers to make educated decisions about product purchases. There are links in the presentation to other websites for other relevant information. MouthWiseLife Presenters are instructed to not provide any additional information to that already provided on the C.D. Those are the reasons why anyone aged over 18, even untrained in the subject matter, can be a MouthWiseLife Presenter!
To coincide with the start of “The MouthWiseLife Campaign. Prevent Oral Disease in Children”, I have published yet another new website, “MouthWiseLife” at www.mouthwiselife.com .“MouthWiseLife” is the only website where MouthWiseLife Presenters can use the online Shopping Cart system, with their 25% MouthWiseLife Presenter Discount Coupon, to assist their customers to purchase the oral health education resource, “MouthWise Oral Health Kit”, at discount.
I believe children are being denied the benefits of new oral disease prevention information and the opportunity for mothers to purchase MouthWise oral health education resources. I believe my recently released oral disease prevention information is being “swept under the carpet’ and being denied to mothers of young children. My response to these problems is a new website, “MouthWiseLife’ at www.mouthwiselife.com, a new marketing campaign, “The MouthWiseLife Campaign to Prevent Oral Disease in Children” and, I predict, an army of MouthWiseLife Presenters, independent distributors, targeting mothers of young children with oral disease prevention information and oral health education resources. I faithfully believe this strategy will succeed in overcoming the bottle necks, will successfully gain access to mothers and most importantly will permanently prevent easily preventable oral disease in children.

It is impossible to wish everyone a very happy year 2005. Sadly everyone is not here. Because of the Tsunami disaster. It is impossible to think of this new year, 2005, without thinking about the tens of thousands of people whose lives were catastrophically affected by the recent Tsunami disaster in South East Asia. May those of us who have not been directly affected direct much of our efforts during 2005 towards helping the survivors and also the relatives and friends of those who lost their lives, to rebuild their lives and livelihoods during the years ahead of us.
Just a couple of days ago my attention was drawn, by a parent of a 6 year child who attends a local government school in Adelaide South Australia the oral hygiene instruction (OHI) issued to children in that school. This child had been instructed about 6 weeks ago to write a sign on a piece of paper with the words “ Do Not Rinse” and to then fix the sign to the bathroom wall at home. Apparently children had been told to execute the OHI “Brush Your Teeth” however to not follow it with the usual rinsing with water, but instead to spit the paste out, thereby leaving a coating of tooth paste in their mouths. Thus the OHI became “Brush Your Teeth, But Do Not Rinse Your Mouth”
It is now 2 years and 6 months since I notified the South Australian School Dental Service of my new oral hygiene instruction “Treat Your Mouth”. At that time I was advised they held no interest for my ideas. But my concern is that their OHI “Brush Your Teeth , But Do Not Rinse Your Mouth” is still a flawed OHI. Why?
“Brush Your Teeth, But Do Not Rinse Your Mouth” is a tooth instruction. No mention of gums and of tongue as taught in the OHI “Treat Your Mouth”.
“Brush Your Teeth, But Do Not Rinse Your Mouth” does not rid the mouth of all undesirable food and drink remnants. True, it will leave a coating of toothpaste ingredients on all surfaces within the mouth but it is not a totally clean mouth and not a guarantee of preventing oral disease.
“Brush Your Teeth, But Do Not Rinse Your Mouth” is not an OHI which, if executed throughout life, will successfully prevent the easily preventable oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath.
Instructing children in the OHI “Treat Your Mouth” will, with greater certainty, help children to prevent oral diseases not only throughout their childhood but also throughout their entire lives. Ideally “Treat Your Mouth” should be a part of a comprehensive oral healthcare education for primary school aged children. One, such as The MouthWise Oral HealthCare School-on-the-Web found at http://www.oralhealthhelpsite.com/ , which uses the MouthWise oral health education resources; The MouthWise Oral HealthCare Manual 2 and the MouthWise Oral Health C.D. “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”.
However it is interesting to note similarities with my OHI “Treat Your Mouth”. It reminds me that prior to publication of The MouthWise Oral HealthCare Manual 2 I had submitted to an international tooth paste and tooth brush manufacturing company an earlier draft text copy offering them an opportunity to market mouth paste and a mouth treater. Their written reply was “no interest”. Within three years they had introduced a tooth paste which they referred to as “ a whole mouth paste’ and a tooth brush which they referred to as a “tooth gum brush”. Mutedl acknowledgemens.

Prevent Oral Disease, Christmas 2004 and New Year Resolution 2005, “Treat Your Mouth”
Rostrevor, South Australia, 16 December 2004
I take this opportunity to wish you all a safe, healthy, enjoyable and happy Christmas 2004 and following it, a successful, healthy, happy and prosperous New Year 2005.
Festivals, such as Christmas and New Year, are times of much rejoicing and of reunions with families and with friends. Significantly they are usually celebrated with an indulgence in fine foods and fine drinks beyond that which is regarded as normal. It is no wonder that the weight loss industry at this time prey heavily on potential customers who overindulge in these festivities and who then make a New Year resolution to be rid of undesirable, excess weight. I applaud all with that concern for general health.
My concern is oral health. I take this opportunity to give you a little, timely advice on oral health and on oral healthcare over this coming Christmas period.
Clean and protect teeth, gums and tongue soon after each main meal.
Follow snacks and high carbohydrate drinks with a thorough rinse with water to dilute acids and carbohydrates in the mouth.
Endeavour to restrict high carbohydrate intakes to follow main meals and therefore just before cleaning and protecting.
Teach the kids a new Christmas song, “4 Your Smile 2 Shine”. Go to http://www.allaboutasmile.com/ . You’ll find it there. The song lyrics are the new oral hygiene instruction “Treat Your Mouth”. It’s great family fun.
Also I sincerely pray I can convince you to make a very special New Year 2005 resolution to never just “Brush Your Teeth” again but to always “Treat Your Mouth”. Make it a family 2005 resolution. This simple, new oral hygiene instruction will more effectively help you to prevent the easily preventable oral diseases tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath. To make your mouth fresh all day, treat your mouth.
