Fluoridex- A Prescription for Healther Teeth

When I see a new member of my Patient Family, I spend a lot of time talking about not only my findings, but also the CAUSE of the problem.  I’m often asked, “What can I do to keep this from happening again?”  The story is longer than what I would put on a simple blog, but one tool that I use to give my patients a leg up is Fluoridex prescription tooth paste.  I use this product in many situations ranging from rampant decay with dietary counseling to treating temperature sensitive teeth.  Here is a link to the product website: http://www.discusdental.com/store/product/PV1611/

As a servcie to our patients, we offer this product for nearly cost!  Just ask me or one of our staff members to see if this would be a benefit for you.
