Time for a silver smile
Silver has been sought after for hundreds of years for use in jewellery, cutlery and ornaments, but less well known are its health benefits.
A new, but simple innovation in dental care harnesses silver's power to give you the best brush of your life...
Silver's health benefits are largely due to the fact that it exerts a detrimental effect on some bacteria and viruses, and this germicidal effect is widely used in health care, and was even used in Word War I before the invention of antibiotics.
Silver's anti-bacterial power has also been observed in the mouth and for the first time in the UK this has been harnessed to create a toothbrush with a difference.
The problem with your everyday toothbrush is that after you've cleaned your teeth, bacteria remain on the head and bristles so that the next time you come to clean your teeth, those bacteria are reintroduced into your mouth and onto your teeth.
The new Silver-Care range are unique toothbrushes whose silver plated heads have normal bristles inserted into them. When the head comes into contact with water it releases active silver ions that reduce the charge that the bacteria have, detaching them from the bristles. This anti-bacterial process is totally natural and continuous.
This beneficial effect is supported by a published clinical study in which half the patient group used a Silver-Care toothbrush and half a usual one and the quantity of Streptococcus mutans (the main bacteria that causes tooth decay) remaining on the brush compared. The silver plated headed brushes showed significantly reduced colonisation of S. mutans than the conventional toothbrush. Although S. mutans still get onto the silver headed brushes, the silver ions released, significantly reduce the concentration of S. mutans after a period of time equivalent to the normal interval between brushing.
Apart from the silver head the brushes are just the same, and as easy to use, as conventional brushes, offering a new generation of dental care for children and adults. The range also includes brushes with replaceable heads so you don’t have to throw away your brush so often!
The Silver Care range also includes a dental floss that utilises the silver ions concept to create a powerful anti-bacterial effect. Also in the floss is xylitol which is a natural sugar alternative that has been shown by scientists all over the world to have positive health benefits, including reducing plaque and oral bacteria.
This is the first time the Silver Care range has become available in the UK and they are available solely through Simply Vital, an alternative health company with a difference.
