• Name:

  • Brand Name: Parodontax Expert Gum Care Daily Fluoride Toothpaste
  • Common Name: Daily Fluoride Toothpaste for Gum Problems

• Composition: The toothpaste contains active ingredients such as Sodium Bicarbonate (around 67% specialized mineral salts) and Sodium Fluoride (typically 927 ppm or 1400 ppm, or 0.454% stannous fluoride depending on the variant). Other ingredients may include Aqua, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Aroma, Xanthan Gum, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sodium Saccharin, Titanium Dioxide, Steviol Glycosides, and Limonene.

• Uses: Parodontax Expert Gum Care Daily Fluoride Toothpaste is formulated to help stop and prevent bleeding gums, a common sign of gum problems (gingivitis). It is clinically proven to be effective at removing plaque bacteria, the main cause of gum issues, up to four times more effectively than regular toothpaste. It also strengthens teeth by helping to maintain the tight seal between gums and teeth, prevents cavities, and freshens breath.

• Dosage and Administration: For best results, brush twice a day, and not more than three times. Apply at least a 1-inch strip of toothpaste onto a soft-bristle toothbrush. Brush for two minutes, minimize swallowing, and spit out after brushing. Not suitable for children under 12 years of age unless advised by a dentist. For children under 6, use a pea-sized amount and supervise brushing to minimize swallowing.

• Side Effects: While generally safe, some users may experience oral irritation, including soreness or swelling in the mouth. Temporary changes in taste or a mild burning sensation are also possible, particularly when first using the product. Staining of the tongue or teeth can occur, although this is often temporary and can be managed with regular brushing or professional cleaning.

• Precautions: Always follow the product label. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Consult a dentist if gingivitis, bleeding, or redness persists for more than two weeks, or if you experience painful/swollen gums, pus from the gum line, loose teeth, or increasing spacing between teeth, as these could be signs of more serious gum disease (periodontitis). Seek immediate medical attention for signs of a severe allergic reaction like rash or swelling of the mouth/face. Keep out of reach of children.

• Storage: Store below 25°C (77°F).

What is Parodontax Expert Gum Care Daily Fluoride used for?

Parodontax Expert Gum Care Daily Fluoride is a daily fluoride toothpaste specifically formulated to help stop and prevent bleeding gums. It is designed to remove plaque, which is the main cause of gum problems like gingivitis, and helps to keep gums healthy, teeth strong, and breath fresh. It also aids in the prevention of dental cavities.

How does Parodontax Expert Gum Care Daily Fluoride work?

This toothpaste works by enhancing plaque removal, which is crucial for preventing and treating gum disease. It is specially formulated with sodium bicarbonate (67% specialized mineral salts) and fluoride (sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride, depending on the variant). The sodium bicarbonate penetrates the plaque bacteria layer, helping to break it up and make it easier to remove, thereby maintaining a tight seal between gums and teeth. The fluoride content helps to strengthen tooth enamel and protect against cavities.

How should I use Parodontax Expert Gum Care Daily Fluoride?

For best results, brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day, and not more than three times. Apply at least a 1-inch strip of toothpaste onto a soft-bristle toothbrush. Minimize swallowing and spit out after brushing. Each brushing session should last approximately two minutes.

What are the possible side effects?

While generally safe, some users may experience oral irritation, such as soreness or swelling inside the mouth, which usually subsides upon discontinuing use. Other potential, temporary side effects include a change in taste or a mild burning sensation, especially when first starting to use the product. Temporary staining of the tongue or teeth can also occur, though this is often removable with regular brushing or professional cleaning. In rare cases, severe allergic reactions like rash or swelling of the mouth or face may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.

Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

For children under 6 years, a pea-sized amount should be used, and brushing should be supervised to minimize swallowing. Children under 2 years of age should consult a dentist or doctor before use.

What precautions should be taken when using this toothpaste?

Always follow the product label. Keep out of reach of children. If irritation occurs, discontinue use. Consult a dentist if gum bleeding, redness, or swelling persists for more than two weeks, or if you experience painful/swollen gums, pus from the gum line, loose teeth, or increasing spaces between teeth, as these could be signs of more serious gum disease. If you experience swelling of the mouth or face, consult your dentist or doctor as soon as possible.

What happens if a dose is missed?
