Clinpro Tooth Crème 0.21% w/w Sodium Fluoride Anti-Cavity Toothpaste contains an innovative tri-calcium phosphate (TCP) ingredient and is available exclusively from 3M ESPE Dental. The tooth creme contains fluoride as well as calcium and phosphate, which are components naturally found in saliva and important for building strong teeth. Testing demonstrates that this formula offers great fluoride availability to the tooth surface.
This proprietary formula successfully integrates these components, enhancing, rather than compromising, the product’s performance. During the manufacturing process, a protective barrier is created around the calcium allowing it to coexist with the fluoride ions. The ions act as a bubble that transports the Tri-Calcium Phosphate to the teeth. As Clinpro tooth crème mingles with saliva during brushing, the barrier breaks down and makes the calcium, phosphate and fluoride readily available to the tooth.
Advantages of Sodium Fluoride:
Fluoride is a mineral that works by making the teeth stronger and more resistant to decay caused by acid and bacteria. The most common form of fluoride is sodium fluoride, used in most over-the-counter toothpastes and mouthwash products containing fluoride. For cavity-prone patients, fluoride provides protection against decay.
