The future of caries management with Arginine
The new era of caries management:
Balancing the microbiome pH with Arginine
"Arginine helps restore plaque pH to a healthier level
for enhanced cavity protection. "
As plaque restores to a natural pH level, calcium works with fluoride to boost remineralization
Arginine is the only amino acid that is known to work this way.
Research Highlights
Biofilm Control for Healthy Gums
Arginine helps deliver zinc for non-stop• biofilm control.
Sensitivity Relief
Arginine works with Calcium Carbonate for superior* instant† and long lasting‡ sensitivity relief.
*with 2x daily brushing and 4 weeks continued use
†vs a potassium nitrate toothpaste
‡For instant relief, apply as directed to the sensitive tooth with finger tip and gently massage for 1 minute.
§Lasting relief with 2x daily continued brushing.
