Gum disease is a serious oral health problem, and its effects can reach far beyond your smile if it is not addressed. In addition to our periodontal treatments, we are also providers for Parodontax™ in Shrewsbury, New Jersey. Parodontax is a specialty toothpaste that may not only help you prevent cavities but also address bleeding gums, which is a symptom of gingivitis. In fact, in some clinical studies, Parodontax was shown to reduce bleeding gums by up to 40% when used properly. This toothpaste can also be effective in improving overall gum health, reducing plaque and inflammation of the gums, and fighting the harmful bacteria that can cause or complicate gum disease.
Parodontax is designed specifically to combat gum disease, and it is not recommended for patients under the age of 12. Aside from the ingredients designed to promote healthy gums, it also contains fluoride to improve the health of your tooth enamel. By removing surface stains, it can also help you whiten your smile. You simply brush with it twice a day as you normally would.
If you have noticed the signs of gingivitis and would like to learn more about Parodontax, you can follow this link or call our office at 732-741-5533 to plan your appointment with our dentist, Dr. Christopher Di Turi.
