Description
IndicationsÂ
Prevident Booster Gel Spearmint is a high-strength fluoride toothpaste used for dental caries prevention and reverse white spot lesions. It is used once a day, preferably at bedtime, in place of regular toothpaste. Prevident Booster Gel Spearmint is known for its mild cleaning system with low abrasion and may help reduce white spot lesions on teeth.Â
Prevident Booster Gel Spearmin contains a high concentration of fluoride, specifically 1.1% sodium fluoride (NaF). Fluoride is a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and makes teeth more resistant to acid attacks from bacteria and acids in the mouth. The high fluoride content in Prevident Booster Gel Spearmin provides an extra boost of protection for your teeth.Â
When you consume foods and drinks that contain sugars and carbohydrates, the bacteria in your mouth produce acids that can demineralize the enamel of your teeth. Demineralization is the process by which minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, are lost from the tooth enamel, making it weaker and more susceptible to cavities.Â
Use and DosageÂ
To use Prevident Booster Gel Spearmint, apply a thin ribbon of Prevident Booster Gel Spearmint to a toothbrush. Brush your teeth thoroughly for two minutes, preferably at bedtime. Use the gel in place of your regular toothpaste. Â
After use, adults should spit out the gel. For pediatric patients aged 6-16, they should spit out the gel and rinse their mouth thoroughly. For the best results, avoid eating, drinking, or rinsing for at least 30 minutes after using the gel.Â
