Innovative Solutions for Different Preventive Procedures
-
1. CleanA great cleaning procedure is one that efficiently removes tough, cavity-causing stains without eroding too much existing enamel and dentin. Clean the teeth thoroughly and if available, use 3M™ Clinpro™ Prophy Paste.
-
2. TreatComplete, extended fluoride coverage is key for accelerating remineralization and arresting the development of caries. 3M™ Clinpro™ White Varnish offers targeted, sustained fluoride release with low viscosity for easy flow and adherence.

3. Protect3M™ Clinpro™ Sealant offers smart color-change technology - it goes on pink for easy-to-see application, and cures to a natural white. Its low viscosity allows it to flow easily into pits and fissures, for complete fluoride coverage that bonds effectively to enamel.

4. MaintainContinue the treatment between visits with take-home solutions like 3M™ Clinpro™ Tooth Crème toothpaste with innovative functionalised Tri-Calcium Phosphate (fTCP) to help protect, strengthen and repair teeth.
