The Breathing Through Teeth (BTT) test has been used in the development of TartarEnd™ Toothpaste for over 10 years. It is quick method for determining tartar level changes between the teeth. Many customers have used this method to monitor tartar removal while using TartarEnd™ toothpaste.
- Lightly press your upper lip onto the top of your lower teeth.
- Breath in through the spaces between your lower teeth (BTT).
- Air will flow easily if there is no tartar build up.
- Air will not flow at all if there is severe tartar build up.
- Use the BTT Method before and after your cleaning appointment
- If there is a large difference in the air flow before and after a cleaning appointment, you are among the 68% of adults that produce tartar
- As a starting point, use the BTT Method to determine the current air flow between your teeth
- Continue to brush with your regular or “tartar control” toothpaste
- After a few weeks, use the BTT Method and compare the air flow against your starting point
- A moderate to heavy tartar producer will notice reduced air flow in just a few days with any regular or “tartar control “toothpaste
- Brush with TartarEnd™ toothpaste to remove your current tartar build-up or the tartar that forms each day
- Use BBT weekly to see how many times a day, once or twice, you should use TartarEnd™
- If you are using TartarEnd™ as a tartar dissolver once a day and BTT is becoming more difficult switch to twice daily brushing with TartarEnd. Make sure you are flossing after brushing
- Use the BTT Method to occasionally monitor your tartar removal progress.
