2.  Dental caries is microbial disease of the
calcified tissue of the teeth, characterized
by demineralization of the inorganic portion
and destruction of the organic substance the
tooth .

4.  The most common :

5.  Toothpaste contains ingredients suitable for
each purpose, such as the prevention of
caries, periodontal disease or tartar.
How do I choose the right toothpaste?

6.  Age.
 Active ingredient of toothpaste.
 Tooth sensitivity.
 Stander usage amount.
 Frequency.

7. 0-2 years free fluoride
2-6 (250ppm fluoride) 6-12 years (1000ppm) Adult (1350-1500ppm)
*1 ppm = parts per million =1mg/kg

8.  Because young infants and children under age 2 years can
swallow most, if not all, of the toothpaste when brushing,
there has been concern that the use of fluoride toothpaste
containing 1,000-1,500 ppm F could give rise to enamel
fluorosis of the front permanent incisors. Enamel fluorosis
is a condition which can vary from minor white spots to
unsightly yellow/ brown discolouration of the enamel due
to excessive intake of fluoride.

(IPMP)
Disinfecting effect Prevents bad breath

11.  Tooth Sensitivity is
Caused by the Exposure
of Dentine
 Dentine has tiny tubes
('tubules') that lead to the
nerve and are filled with
fluid.
 Eating or drinking foods and
drinks that are hot, cold or
sweet can cause a change in
fluid movement.
 This fluid movement causes
the nerve endings to react
in response, triggering a
short, sharp pain.

12.  Brushing shortly after acid.
 Teeth Grinding
 Gum Disease
 Receding Gums
 Brushing too vigorously can also cause
receding gums

13.  Potassium Nitrate
 Strontium strontium acetate and strontium
chloride
 NovaMin™ Technology

14.  NovaMin is comprised of calcium, sodium, phosphorous,
and silicon, which are all natural elements normally
found in the tooth structure. It is identified chemically
as Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate.
 The NovaMin three step process leads to the formation
of hydroxyapatite-like crystals
 Repair sensitive teeth by forming a mineral layer over
exposed dentine to help block tubules.

16. Crest SENSI-STOP STRIPS are thin, flexible strips
that contain dipotassium oxalate

21. At moring After meals Before
bedtime

22.  Mouthwash, mouth rinse, oral rinse or mouth
bath.
 Mouthwashes are an antiseptic solution
intended to reduce the microbial load in the
oral cavity, although other mouthwashes
might be given for other reasons such as for
their analgesic , anti-inflammatory or anti-
fungal action.

23.  Alcohol
 Benzydamine (Difflam)
 Betamethasone
 Cetylpyridinium chloride
 Chlorhexidine digluconate
 Essential oils
 Fluoride
 Phenol

24. Ingredient Action
Alcohol a carrier for the flavor , to
provide "bite"
Chlorhexidine digluconate anti-plaque action
Fluoride They usually contain about 1450
parts per million fluoride.
Hydrogen peroxide It kills anearobic bacteria, and
also has a mechanical cleansing
action
Providone/iodine preventing upper respiratory
infection
Diphenhydramine antihistamine
Lidocaine/Xylocaine local anesthetic
Tetracyclineor/ Erythromycin (antibiotics

25.  Rinsing the mouth with about 20ml of
mouthwash.
 Most companies suggest not drinking water
immediately after using mouthwash.
 Mouthwash should not be used immediately
after brushing the teeth so as not to wash
away the beneficial fluoride residue left
from the toothpaste
 The wash is typically swished or gargled for
about half a minute and then spit out.

26.  The toothbrush is an oral hygiene instrument
used to clean the teeth and gums.
