Biography

Garth D Pettit graduated Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in November 1953 from University of Adelaide, School of Dentistry. He was retired from dental practice in December 1991. His expertise he gathered over a period since 1995 is to teach people of all ages how to prevent common oral diseases such as tooth decay, gum diseases, bad breath and stained teeth. However his research in 2001, led him to believe that the 500 year old instruction Brush Your Teeth was misleading, often did not prevent these diseases and in fact could be a cause of these diseases. In February 2011 he published, in Amazon Kindle, twelve eBooks. Two were new and ten were from electronic copies of his original 10 Mouth Wise Oral HealthCare Manuals. They were titled “Oral 7 Hygiene – Paint Your Mouth, “Visit 1 of 12 Visits to GarGarThe Dentist”, etc. Later they were re-titled “Paint Your Mouth”, then “How Do I Look After My Kids Teeth?” Now they are to be published under the title “Teaching Oral Disease Prevention”.
