Introduction
All out on the Fluoride front with Duraphat 2800 from Colgate
Colgate is pleased to announce an extension to their Duraphat product range with the launch of the Duraphat 2800 ppm Fluoride Toothpaste .
Colgate claims most dental practitioners are already familiar with Duraphat varnish for the treatment and prevention of dental caries and for use in dentine sensitivity. Now patients can benefit from the daily home use of Duraphat high fluoride toothpaste. Colgate Duraphat 2800 ppm Fluoride Toothpaste is indicated for the treatment of early caries lesions and for carious prevention in at-risk patients.
The Colgate Duraphat with 2800 ppm sodium fluoride contains almost twice as much fluoride as regular toothpastes for enhanced caries treatment and prevention. Used daily it will help lock fluoride into tooth surfaces and provide greater protection and treatment of caries. For more information phone 01483 901

Grafton polish up ok
Grafton have launched the new hand-held tooth polisher to add to their Oral Hygiene Range. This tooth polisher is ideal for domiciliary visits as well as for those patients who are looking for more than an ordinary toothbrush.
Scientifically designed and tested, the Tooth Polisher is simple to operate and uses an automatic cut out to prevent over use or force. Grafton claims the polishing paste does not contain peroxide and is perfectly tooth friendly, whilst effectively removing calculus and staining.
The Tocola Tongue Scraper efficiently removes bacterial coating, food debris and dead cells from the tongue, thus helping to prevent bad breath and tooth decay. For further information phone Grafton on 0800 581303.
