Trycare Ltd is the UK Distributor for Biomin F, which utilises the latest bioglass technology to harden teeth against acid attack and reduce sensitivity, including post-bleaching sensitivity, a problem that reduces patient acceptance of this highly profitable revenue stream.

BioMin F contains 5 micron bioglass particles which are so fine the patient cannot feel them. These tiny particles are made up of fluoro calcium phosphosilicate bioactive glass which bonds to the teeth and enters the dentinal tubules, where they gradually dissolve over a period of up to 12 hours, slowly releasing calcium, fluoride and phosphate ions. These work with saliva in the mouth to form fluorapatite, which is 10,000 times less dissolvable than hydroxyapatite. Consequently they strengthen the teeth, aid effective remineralisation of the enamel and prevent fluid flow through the dentinal tubules (hydraulic conductivity) which triggers sensitivity.
Patients also report that their teeth feel smoother and cleaner, they notice an absence of background oral sensitivity and their gums are healthier and less prone to bleeding.
Presented as a toothpaste, BioMin F enables patients to enhance their smile and improve their oral health and comfort.
