Dental caries is microbial disease of the

calcified tissue of the teeth, characterized

by demineralization of the inorganic portion

and destruction of the organic substance the

tooth .

The most common :

Toothpaste contains ingredients suitable for

each purpose, such as the prevention of

caries, periodontal disease or tartar.

How do I choose the right toothpaste?

Age.

Active ingredient of toothpaste.

Tooth sensitivity.

Stander usage amount.

Frequency.

0-2 years free fluoride

2-6 (250ppm fluoride) 6-12 years (1000ppm) Adult (1350-1500ppm)

*1 ppm = parts per million =1mg/kg

Because young infants and children under age 2 years can swallow most, if not all, of the toothpaste when brushing, there has been concern that the use of fluoride toothpaste containing 1,000-1,500 ppm F could give rise to enamel fluorosis of the front permanent incisors. Enamel fluorosisis a condition which can vary from minor white spots to unsightly yellow/ brown discolouration of the enamel due to excessive intake of fluoride.

Tooth Sensitivity is Caused by the Exposure of Dentine

Dentine has tiny tubes ('tubules') that lead to the nerve and are filled with fluid.

Eating or drinking foods and drinks that are hot, cold or sweet can cause a change in fluid movement.

This fluid movement causes the nerve endings to react in response, triggering a short, sharp pain.

Brushing shortly after acid.

Teeth Grinding

Gum Disease

Receding Gums

Brushing too vigorously can also cause

receding gums

Potassium Nitrate

Strontium strontium acetate and strontium

NovaMin™ Technology

NovaMin is comprised of calcium, sodium, phosphorous, and silicon, which are all natural elements normally found in the tooth structure. It is identified chemically as Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate.

The NovaMin three step process leads to the formation of hydroxyapatite-like crystals

Repair sensitive teeth by forming a mineral layer over exposed dentine to help block tubules.

Rinsing the mouth with about 20ml of

mouthwash.

Most companies suggest not drinking water

immediately after using mouthwash.

Mouthwash should not be used immediately

after brushing the teeth so as not to wash

away the beneficial fluoride residue left

about half a minute and then spit out.

used to clean the teeth and gums.
