Product Features
The convenient plastic canister is re-sealable and was well received by consultants. The flavors are color-coded and printed directly on the packaging. Consultants noted that there was plenty of paste in each cup for a routine prophylaxis. The smooth paste polished well and the patients appreciated the flavors. Some consultants would have liked to have additional grits. Some hygienists reported that ALPHA-PRO Kid’s Pack splattered more than their usual prophylaxis pastes and was more difficult to rinse off. Stain removal was rated as fair. Fifty-nine percent of consultants found ALPHA-PRO Kid’s Pack to be equal to or better than their current prophylaxis paste, while 42% would recommend and switch to it.
