Therapy/Class:
Medicated Toothgel
Mechanism of Action:
- Sodium Fluoride IP 0.12% w/w: It helps prevent tooth decay by strengthening tooth enamel and making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria and sugars in the mouth.
- Xylitol: It is a natural sweetener that can help prevent tooth decay. It inhibits the growth of bacteria in the mouth, reducing plaque buildup and lowering the risk of cavities.
- Aloe Vera: It offers soothing properties. It can help reduce inflammation of the gums and alleviate any irritation or discomfort.
- Silica & Sorbitol: Silica is a mild abrasive commonly used in toothgel to help remove plaque and surface stains from teeth without damaging enamel. Sorbitol is a sugar alcohol used as a sweetener and to give the toothgel a smooth texture.
