LYREJET® - LIGHT AT THE END OF THE ORAL HYGIENE TUNNEL. A REVOLUTIONARY DISCOVERY FOR PREVENTIVE HEALTH-CARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH Everyone now knows that you should brush your teeth several times a day. But research shows that this is not enough. Whether you brush manually or using an electric toothbrush you only clean the inner, outer and chewing surfaces of your teeth, leaving more than half of dental plaque between your teeth. Various techniques have tackled the problem but none has proved successful. Dental floss only loosens plaque without removing it, while water-jets fail to remove plaque from the surface of the teeth. Worse, if improperly used they may actually harm teeth. LyreJet® is the first and only system that uses the threefold combination of dental floss + double jet + vibrations. As its French dental surgeon inventor stresses, "Until we wake up to the fact that we also need to clean between the teeth we will never overcome dental problems such as caries, gingivitis and tartar leading to the need for crowns , dental prosthesis and other serious focal infections  . Until now there has been no way of properly cleaning the spaces between the teeth. Today, LyreJet® system gives perfect cleaning of the interproximal spaces, removing plaque, tartar and bacteria from all the spaces that a toothbrush leaves untouched. The resulting hygiene ensures the prevention of cavities and the formation of tartar that lead to gingivitis and hitherto-uncontrollable loosening of teeth. LyreJet® protects teeth and strengthens gums. And since the teeth stop deteriorating there is no more need for crowns and other dentures. In addition, by providing ongoing protection from infection the LyreJet® prevents other serious conditions that are dental in origin such as sinusitis, kidney and joint disease... even heart disease ("focal infections"). Given that the World Health Organisation ranks dental caries and periodontal conditions (i.e. diseases of the tissues supporting the teeth) in third place among public health threats, this invention represents a major health revolution for countless numbers of people. Ten years + of clinical experience have proved that the effectiveness of this patented technology protects teeth*. Recommended by dentists for patients from age 4, the Lyre-Jet® system also protects existing dental work. The use of LyreJet® after brushing takes only 90 secondes yhe reach the global Oral Care. The system is easy and simple to use: the dental floss removes plaque and tartar while avoiding gums; the double jet simultaneously rinses the gaps between the teeth. LyreJet® system is available from pharmacies  (French ACL Code: ACL 709.187.9) and includes three heads and 30 floss refills (code ACL 709.188.5). * See Information dentaire (dental bulletin) No. 37/91 in the Journal de Parodontologie (Journal of Periodontal medicine) Vol. 9 - No. 4/90
