How stannous fluoride works in parodontax toothpaste
parodontax with stannous fluoride is an anti-cavity & anti-gingivitis toothpaste that helps prevent bleeding gums.
Plaque forms a matrix structure that a specialist toothpaste can help to disrupt as part of daily brushing. With its clinically proven formulation containing 0.454% stannous fluoride, parodontax removes plaque more effectively than a sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP) toothpaste, removing 3x more plaque build-up. It's a meaningful difference that supports you and your patients to take action today on gingivitis. Learn more about how stannous fluoride works by watching our new MOA video below.
With stannous fluoride, parodontax helps you enhance your patients’ daily brushing*
Stannous fluoride inhibits plaque bacteria regrowth by disrupting the metabolic activity of the bacteria in the biofilm, inhibiting glycolysis and preventing the bacteria in the biofilm from utilizing the dietary sugars needed for survival and regrowth. By inhibiting bacterial regrowth, stannous fluoride helps to loosen the structural integrity of the biofilm itself.
*vs. brushing with a sodium monofluorophosphate toothpaste
In clinical studies, parodontax toothpaste has been proven to improve patients’ gum health by:
- Reducing plaque and gingival bleeding, and helping to reduce gingival inflammation
- By removing 3x more plaque, the main cause of gingival bleeding,* parodontax helps reduce red & inflamed gums, keeps the seal between gums and teeth tight, and provides a deep clean.
- Inhibiting bacterial growth
- parodontax is scientifically proven to kill bacteria, and helps to prevent the build-up of plaque bacteria.**
- Helping to remove surface stains
- parodontax toothpaste helps to restore teeth to their natural whiteness by gently removing surface stains.
- Strengthening enamel and helping to prevent cavities
- When used twice-daily, parodontax toothpaste with 1100 ppm of fluoride helps to keep teeth strong and helps prevent decay.

It's good when patients brush and it's better when they brush with stannous fluoride,* but the best outcomes happen when we work together over the long-term to help fight gingivitis and extend your reach beyond the chair.
Working with you to help your patients achieve and maintain healthy gums*
Help keep your patients on a journey to healthy gums. Your professional advice, regular cleanings and proper home care are vital in helping prevent disease progression and helping reverse early-stage gingivitis in your patients.

The CSLM image on the right shows S. mutans bacteria following 3 days of twice daily treatment with 0.454% stannous fluoride for 30 seconds. The image shows inhibition of regrowth by stannous fluoride as a result of the effect on biofilm metabolic activity after 3 days of twice daily treatment. (green = live red = dead)
