Alcohol is bad news for oral and general good health. Patients might not know just how much it can damage their teeth so it is the job of dental practitioners to educate them, plus give them a practical prevention plan.
As well as limiting consumption and regular visits to the dentist, every patient needs effective tools and adjuncts. TANDEX produces a high-quality range of toothbrushes, including interdental and interspace brushes, for gentle yet effective cleaning of enamel weakened by the acid in alcoholic drinks.
Also available is PREVENT GEL, which is non-abrasive, can actively strengthen the enamel and contains an effective combination of fluoride and chlorhexidine. The handy tube is adapted for use over a three-week period, with the supervision of a dental practitioner.
For optimal protection, patients can supplement their routine with PREVENT mouthwash, which is available in two varieties. PREVENT WASH is double active, with fluoride and chlorhexidine and PREVENT FRESH is triple active, containing zinc too for effective protection against bad breath.
TANDEX is the first line of defence against oral health compromised by alcohol consumption.
