    Default "Smart bomb" mouthwash aims to end tooth decay: Will it work?

    This could be interesting. If approved and works as advertised then there would be no excuse for having fluoride in water and other products.

    _______________________


    (CBS) Has tooth decay met its match?

    PICTURES: Foul mouth: what yucky signs say about your health

    Dentists are smiling over a new report that UCLA researchers have developed a new mouthwash that might make dental cavities go the way of the dodo bird, CBS Los Angeles reported.

    For the study - published in the Nov. issue of the journal Carries Research - researchers tested the new mouthwash on 12 patients. After only one rinse, the mouthwash completely eliminated the S. mutans bacteria - the main cause of tooth decay. The patients were S. mutans-free for the entire four-day duration of the study.

    How does the magic mouthwash work?

    It uses a new antimicrobial technology known as specifically targeted anti-microbial peptides, or STAMP for short. The researchers developed it with financial support from toothpaste heavyweight Colgate-Palmolive. The lead researcher, Dr. Wenyuan Shi, calls the mouthwash a "smart bomb" since it eliminates harmful bacteria for an extended period of time.

    "With this new antimicrobial technology, we have the prospect of actually wiping out tooth decay in our lifetime," Dr. Shi, chair of the oral biology section at the UCLA School of Dentistry, said in a written statement.


    But how does this mouthwash differ from all those other antiseptic mouthwashes on the market? Don't they also fight cavity-causing bacteria?


    Dr. Shi explained to CBS News that the mouth is a "true jungle," with over 100 trillion bacteria residing in it. But most of the bacteria doesn't cause tooth decay.

    "99.9 percent of them are good guys," Shi said.


    But most mouthwash products are "broad-spectrum" according to Shi, which means they wipe out all bacteria in the mouth. He compared that effect to how an herbicide kills both weeds and surrounding healthy grass. The "smart bomb" mouthwash targets and destroys S. mutans bacteria, leaving healthy bacteria that help protect teeth.

    "We let the mouth grow grass, and we prevent the weeds from coming back," Shi told CBS News.

    Shi said based on that principle, his lab's research might lay the foundation for developing more "smart bombs" to fight other bacterial diseases residing in the gut or nose.

    But "smart bomb" mouthwash won't hit store shelves this year. Based on this study's success, researchers sent an approval application to the FDA with the hopes that more studies can start as early as March 2012. Shi said the researchers need to find out if the mouthwash's effects last for days, or even weeks. If approved, it will be the first anti-cavity "drug" licensed in nearly 60 years.

    The last one approved? You may have heard of it - fluoride.

    Dr. No-Hee Park, dean of the UCLA School of Dentistry summed up everyone's excitement over the research:

    "We are proud that UCLA will become known as the birthplace of this significant treatment innovation."

    Dental cavities are fairly common. More than 50 percent of kids get them, and 92 percent of adults get cavities in their permanent teeth at some point.

    WebMD has more on cavities.

    Well, if Colgate's funding it, I cannot but think it will be the boon it promises to be.

    Yep. Just like the caries vaccine that was already invented and tested 15 years ago. Where´s it right now? No one knows...

    Don´t worry about dentists, we will always have work to do, there is more to do than filling cavities, believe me.

    I mean think about it, it is not dentists won´t let this out, is the laboratories making the materials we use who ( in that case) wouldn´t let. In my opinion if this mouthwash works would be a great step for public health. In the other hand, let´s wait to see the development of sensivity to the components as I got from Colgate Total. Anyway hopefuly this comes out well.

    like - fathertedsmate - says, mms works a treat. i have been gargling with mms one aday at night for over three years.

    no more bad breath, no more cavities active, and a trip to a dentist two years back, confirmed the old holes, where fillings had dropped out, were "stabilised".
    once a filling drops out, and the mms can physically contact a rot, it neutralises it from then on.

    no magic involved, mms simply balances the ph level in your mouth, and doing so prevents any further problems.

    Hi Calz, another great thread.
    This mouthwash sounds pretty good.
    If it eliminates the use of flouride, i,m all for it.

    As long as it is not blanketed with mercury or derivatives therefrom.

    If it targets only specific strain of bacteria this is the reason "Dentists are smiling over a new report ". It will probably work same way as monsanto roundup does. Kills of weak weeds and allow space for super weeds to grow. Same as overuse of antibiotics and antiseptics. This is never ending warfare. As all warfare it will generate a lots of profits.

    This is how i see it in my own distorted way...
    Best wishes and free energy to all

    gotta agree - robert j - but, if it works too well, or doesnt make them billions of $. then we will never see it on the market anyway.

    As with so many things until we make a change in the system itself nothing will change.

    Take away the "controllers" and think about all the technology and health related issues that would start to flow.

    hi all, i just got jim humbles latest newsletter today.

    he explains the benefits of the new method of takeing MMS as a solution called - CDS - clorine dioxide solution. (practically tasteless and odourless)

    the best way to describe all the information is by listing the connection to the - MMS FORUM - here it is :-

    http://genesis2forum.org/index.php?o...8260&Itemid=66

    there is a 10 minute video there that gives all the details.

    as this is a very big advancement to MMS i will start a new thread, and make reference to the same forum and video
