Hello,

Welcome to XXXXXXX Forum,

Clinpro 5000 is a product which contain sodium fluoride, it makes the tooth more hard, whitish and resistant to decay and bacteria that causes cavities. This product is used to prevent tooth cavities.
This is used once before bedtime instead of regular toothpaste, brush thoroughly for two minutes, after that spit out the medication, do not eat or drink 30 minutes after the use.

If you are using the product there are some side effects which you should be aware;

-gum or mouth irritation can occur.
-staining of tooth can occur.
-allergic reactions like swelling, rashes.itching can occur.
-nausea, vomiting or diarrhea can occur due to overdose.

I would advise you to visit to Dentist get a checkup done, and decide whether there is use of the product, because such type of products are indicated in persons having active caries, white spots on teeth, decreased salivary flow, during orthodontic treatment, persons having high risk of developing dental caries.

Other things which you can follow to prevent decay are;

-Brush your teeth twice daily in up and down back and forth motion.
-Replace your toothbrush in every 4-5 months.
-Clean your mouth after every meal to prevent plague accumulation.
-use colgate plax mouthwash after brushing your teeth.
-Get routine dental check up in every six months.
-Take a balanced diet, drink plenty of water.

Hope this answers your query,

Wishing you good health!

Hi,

Thanks for the reply,

Effectiveness of the toothpaste depends upon complaince of the patient, the response of users and their maintainence. Studies have revealed that Clinpro 5000 contains more fluoride than other fluoridated toothpastes and is significantly more effective in reducing caries than other fluoridated toothpastes. Approximately it causes 40-50% reduction in caries in adult individuals.

Hope this helps out.
