Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals has introduced a new and improved formula for its Colgate PreviDent Varnish 5% Sodium Fluoride. The high-fluoride in-office treatment now contains advanced technology for greater enamel fluoride uptake.
Colgate PreviDent Varnish with 5% sodium fluoride, the equivalent of 22,600 ppm fluoride provides greater enamel fluoride uptake versus the leading varnish competitor brand** with:
• Four times greater fluoride uptake into lesioned enamel
• Three times greater fluoride uptake into sound enamel
Moreover, the new formulation provides a smooth, even, and quick application, and dries to a natural enamel color.
“Switching to PreviDent Varnish was the best decision I could have made for my patients,” said Maria Perno Goldie, RDH, MS, current president, International Federation of Dental Hygienists and past president of the ADHA. “They love the flavors and the transparency after I apply it.”
Ideal for both children and adults, PreviDent Varnish contains 22,600 ppm fluoride which has been shown to provide effective dentin hypersensitivity relief. It sets rapidly on contact with saliva for patient comfort and compliance. PreviDent Varnish also contains Xylitol.
“The new formula of PreviDent Varnish offers a substantial advantage over the leading fluoride varnish,” remarked Dr. Barbara Shearer, BDS, MDS, PhD, Director of Scientific Affairs, Colgate Oral Pharmaceuticals. “Our optimized in-office fluoride treatment formula provides significant fluoride uptake while being aesthetically pleasing. These attractive features combined with a great taste make PreviDent Varnish a pleasure for both the dental professional and the patient.”
PreviDent Varnish is currently available in two great tasting flavors (mint and raspberry) and is conveniently packaged in ready-to-use unit doses (0.4mL) with disposable brushes.
