The Science of Sodium Bicarbonate Toothpaste – parodontax
Supporting you to enhance your patients’ clean
parodontax toothpaste contains sodium bicarbonate, optimised at 67% concentration.
Press play to see the difference parodontax can make
Preventing gum disease at home requires a strict daily routine, but that’s easier said than done. Patients find it difficult to maintain this routine every day, especially when getting to hard-to-reach areas of the mouth
Yet change is possible. So, what makes parodontax your ally in making it happen?
The sodium bicarbonate toothpaste penetrates the plaque matrix, where it disrupts and breaks bonds in the biofilm to loosen plaque. As a result, parodontax toothpaste softens the plaque on the tooth surface, making it easier to brush away. This allows for a four times reduction in plaque build-up in comparison to non-sodium bicarbonate toothpastes.*
What’s more, parodontax toothpaste softens plaque in interproximal spaces, reducing five times more plaque build-up than non-sodium bicarbonate toothpastes in those hard-to-reach areas*1.
What does that mean for the gum health of your patients?
*All patients received a professional clean at baseline and followed a twice-daily brushing regime for 6 months
Sodium bicarbonate facilitates plaque biofilm removal2
In an in vitro study, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images of 14-day biofilms (green in images) showed that 67% sodium bicarbonate treatment removed a large proportion of biofilm growth. Prior to treatment, CLSM revealed a substantial multilayered structure in the mature biofilms, which was reduced to a single layer of cells after treatment with 67% sodium bicarbonate.2

How Paradontax sodium bicarbonate toothpaste can help patients remove plaque
In a 60-second brushing study vs. regular toothpaste, Paradontax Toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate started working from the first brush, removing more plaque in hard-to-reach areas:3
- 56% posterior lingual interproximal
- 32% posterior lingual body
- 25% anterior facial interproximal
