“38% of 12 year olds have signs of tooth wear.”*¹ You can help!
According to the Children’s Dental Health Survey 2013 “up to 57% of 5 year olds and up to 38% of 12 year olds have signs of tooth surface loss on the incisors.”*¹ Now that your young patients are going back to school, their lunchboxes may include acidic fruits, fruit juices and fizzy drinks which can lead to enamel softening and tooth wear. The enamel of their adult teeth has to last the rest of their life. And once enamel is gone it’s gone for good.
How can you protect your young patients’ enamel?

- Optimised fluoride formulation with 1450 ppm fluoride to help re-harden acid-softened enamel
