Evaluators’ Comments
- “Great for patients that prefer non-gritty paste.”
- “Not as sweet as normal paste, which most patients loved”
- “The gel formula seems like it could be less sensitive to patients, especially with root exposure.”
- “I love the toothpaste like dispenser, you don’t waste as much and you don’t have to fight ripping off the plastic like you do on the prophy cups.”
- “It gets runny with saliva, and took more effort to rinse off. Has some splattering with getting runny. ”
- “If I needed more I had to re-glove to not cross contaminate”
- “I felt that it did not remove staining as well as my current paste. However, we use coarse paste, so it may be unfair to compare them.”
