Gum disease is the primary cause of tooth loss, inflammation, and chronic oral infection. The Blotting Brush targets plaque accumulation in the sulcus, where conventional brushing often fails or causes damage. By lifting plaque rather than scrubbing it, this technique reduces irritation, bleeding, bad breath, and bacterial load. Supporting gum integrity directly supports systemic health, as oral inflammation is closely linked to cardiovascular, metabolic, and immune stress.

Unlike conventional toothbrushes that rely on friction, the Phillips’ Blotting Technique uses capillary action to draw plaque into ultra-soft bristles. The slim brush head and precise bristle layout allow access along the gum margin and into tight spaces without trauma. The included blotter cap protects bristle shape and hygiene between uses, preserving performance over time. This design makes the brush suitable for sensitive gums, receding gum lines, and long-term daily use.

Developed in collaboration with Price-Pottenger and rooted in the work of Dr Phillips, this technique reflects a preventive, biologically respectful approach to dentistry. According to the American Dental Association, 95% of tooth loss is due to gum disease rather than decay. Addressing plaque at the gum level, rather than aggressively polishing enamel, supports long-term oral health and a youthful smile without chemicals or harsh interventions.

Q: What is the Phillips Blotting Brush used for?
A: The Phillips Blotting Brush is designed for a unique oral care technique that removes plaque using capillary action, rather than simply moving it around like traditional brushing.

Q: How does blotting differ from regular brushing?
A: Unlike conventional brushing, which often pushes plaque around or under the gums, blotting lifts plaque from the teeth and gum margins and holds it in the brush for effective removal.

Q: Is the brush suitable for sensitive gums?
A: Yes, the Phillips Blotting Brush uses ultra-fine, round-end nylon bristles (0.007″ diameter) that are exceptionally gentle on gums while still being effective at removing plaque.

Q: Who can use the Phillips Blotting Brush?
A: The brush is suitable for adults and particularly beneficial for those with gum sensitivity, gum disease, or those seeking a gentler yet more effective oral hygiene method.

Q: How often should I use the blotting technique?
A: It is recommended to use the Phillips Blotting Brush at least twice a day, just as you would with a regular toothbrush, ideally after meals.

Q: Do I need toothpaste when using the blotting technique?
A: No, toothpaste is not necessary. The blotting technique relies on mechanical action to remove plaque, and works effectively without foaming agents.

Q: Can the Phillips Blotting Brush help with bad breath?
A: Yes, by thoroughly cleaning not only the teeth but also the tongue, cheeks, gums, and roof of the mouth, the technique helps eliminate the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Q: How do I clean the blotting brush after use?
A: Simply rinse the brush thoroughly under warm water, shake off excess moisture, and store it in its blotter cover to help maintain the bristles' shape and hygiene.

Q: How often should I replace the blotting brush?
A: For best results, replace your brush every 2–3 months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or deformed.

Q: Can children use the Phillips Blotting Brush?
A: This version is designed for adults, but children can benefit from a similar technique with a specially designed children’s blotting brush, consult your dental professional for guidance.

Q: What works best with the Blotting Brush?
A: I suggest brushing with the organic Tooth Powders but then using Bio-Gum specifically to help Gum Health/. Vitamin D3 is also essential for teeth, I'll explain below.

Blotting Brush + Bio Gum Powder
The Blotting Brush physically removes plaque and biofilm from the gum margin and sulcus. Bio Gum Powder then conditions and strengthens the gum tissue itself. Used together, the brush clears the terrain while the gum powder supports remineralisation, circulation, and tissue tone. This pairing is especially effective for bleeding gums, gum recession, and long-term periodontal resilience. Mechanical removal first, biological repair second.

Blotting Brush + Ancient Purity Tooth Powders
Conventional toothpaste often masks problems rather than correcting them. Tooth powders work differently. When used after blotting, they support mineral balance, pH regulation, and microbial harmony without foaming agents or chemical irritants. The Blotting Brush removes plaque at the root level, while tooth powders polish, alkalise, and remineralise enamel and oral tissues. This restores the mouth as an ecosystem rather than just cleaning teeth.

Blotting Brush + Vitamin D3
Oral health is inseparable from mineral metabolism. Vitamin D3 regulates calcium utilisation, immune signalling, and bone integrity, including the jaw and alveolar bone that anchor the teeth. Mechanical plaque removal without adequate Vitamin D3 leaves the structural foundation unsupported. Used together, the Blotting Brush reduces bacterial burden while Vitamin D3 strengthens the biological framework that keeps teeth stable, gums resilient, and inflammation low.

Why this combination matters
Plaque removal alone is not enough. Nor is supplementation without mechanical hygiene. The Blotting Brush clears what should not be there. Bio Gum Powder and Tooth Powders restore what should be there. Vitamin D3 ensures minerals are used correctly throughout the system. Together, they support oral health at the mechanical, microbial, and metabolic levels.
