Discus Dental®, the makers of ProActive Care™ ProphyPak™ and BreathRx® oral malodor products, introduces Fluoridex™, a new line of professional and take-home fluorides. With the increase in active decay among older adult patients, professionally applied and dispensed fluoride has become an important element in treating and preventing recurrent decay, root decay, and new lesions.

Beginning with in-office treatments, Fluoridex™ includes two professional in-office options, a 2.0% Neutral Sodium Fluoride (NSF) Mousse and a 1.23% Acidulated Phosphate Fluoride (APF) Mousse. These formulations are nonaerosol-reducing waste, tray overflow, and ingestion. Take-home products include Fluoridex 5,000 ppm Neutral Sodium Fluoride Toothpaste and Perio Plus 0.4% Stannous Fluoride Toothpaste. Both contain a mild cleaning complex that allows the product to be used in place of regular toothpaste.

Fluoridex™ is designed to appeal to your patients through sophisticated, professional packaging, easy-to-follow instructions and fun, delicious flavors. Fluoridex™ is a key component of ProActive Care Solutions that represents a patient-centered approach and a mechanism to enhance health through prevention and esthetics.
