Description

ORAL-B STRONG TEETH EXTRA FRESH TOOTHPASTE

PRIMARY USES

1. Cavity Prevention and Enamel Strengthening with Fluoride Technology
Primary Use: Provides advanced cavity protection and strengthens tooth enamel using fluoride technology that remineralizes enamel to protect against decay, with a refreshing gel formula designed for daily use by adults and teenagers .
How it helps: For the dentist and dental hygienist, fluoride is the gold standard for caries prevention, working by remineralizing enamel and making teeth more resistant to acid attacks from plaque bacteria. The Oral-B Strong Teeth formula contains fluoride that helps protect enamel against cavities and strengthens teeth . The gel format with controlled foam ensures even distribution across all tooth surfaces during brushing. For the patient, this means effective daily protection against tooth decay with a formulation that strengthens enamel while feeling pleasant to use .
2. Extra Fresh Mint Flavor for Long-Lasting Breath Freshness
Primary Use: Features an extra fresh gel formulation with a cooling mint flavour that provides long-lasting breath freshness, reducing mouth odour and leaving a pleasant sensation after each brushing .
How it helps: For the general dentist addressing patient concerns about halitosis (bad breath), the sensation of freshness after brushing is an important compliance factor that encourages consistent oral hygiene habits. The extra fresh gel formula provides a cooling sensation that reduces mouth odour and leaves lasting freshness . The gel texture spreads evenly across teeth and gums without causing a burning sensation, making it comfortable for daily use . For the patient, this means fresh, clean breath confidence throughout the day with a pleasant brushing experience that encourages twice-daily brushing.
3. Effective Plaque Removal and Surface Stain Reduction
Primary Use: Contains mild cleaning agents that effectively remove daily plaque buildup and surface stains without damaging tooth enamel, contributing to cleaner, brighter teeth with regular use .
How it helps: For the dental hygienist, mechanical plaque removal is essential for preventing gingivitis and periodontal disease. The cleaning agents in this toothpaste work alongside proper brushing technique to remove plaque and surface stains . While not a dedicated whitening product, the stain-removing action helps maintain a cleaner, brighter smile with consistent use. For the patient, this means comprehensive daily cleaning that supports gum health and aesthetic appearance.
4. Suitable for Family Use with Age-Appropriate Guidance
Primary Use: Formulated for daily use by adults and teenagers (family size variant available in 140g), with appropriate supervision recommended for children under 6 years who should use a pea-sized amount .
How it helps: For the family dentist, having an effective, palatable toothpaste that all family members can use simplifies oral hygiene routines and improves compliance. The family size 140g tube is suitable for daily use by all family members . For children under 6, supervision is recommended with a pea-sized amount to minimise swallowing risk . For the family, this means one toothpaste can serve the whole household with appropriate supervision for younger children.

SECONDARY USES

1. Post-dental procedure maintenance brushing: For patients recovering from routine dental cleanings, fillings, or other non-surgical procedures, the mild, non-irritating gel formula provides effective cleaning without causing sensitivity or discomfort to recently treated areas, supporting healing and maintenance of oral hygiene.
2. Travel and on-the-go oral hygiene: Available in a compact 35g size, this toothpaste is practical for travel, keeping in a work bag, or as a spare tube for convenience, allowing patients to maintain oral hygiene routines while away from home .
3. Complement to professional fluoride treatments: For patients who have received professional fluoride varnish applications in the dental office, continued use of fluoride toothpaste at home helps maintain elevated fluoride levels on enamel surfaces, prolonging the protective benefits of professional treatments.
4. Daily maintenance for orthodontic patients: For patients wearing braces or clear aligners, the effective plaque removal properties help maintain oral hygiene around brackets and wires, reducing the risk of white spot lesions and decalcification during orthodontic treatment.
5. Morning and evening brushing routine compliance: The pleasant extra fresh mint flavour and cooling gel texture encourage consistent twice-daily brushing, supporting long-term oral health habits and reducing the likelihood of patients skipping brushing due to unpleasant taste experiences.
