Pretty brilliant. See, your teeth are made of hydroxyapatite (might be a slight mispelling there) which is water soluable to a degree. The whole brushing with fluoride is to gradually change your teeth from hydroxyapatite to hydroxyfluorite, which is non-soluable and very hard stuff. So, best thing to do with normal toothpaste tech is not rinse your mouth and let the reaction time be longer, since we can't really mess with the concentration. This is literally electroplating your teeth. Pretty smart. Not that I'm interested in the thing though.
