Quotes
“Believe it or not, toothpaste technology changed
too”
“The foundation of good oral health is biofilm
control”
“Patients are not always great at mechanical biofilm control…
there is toothpaste technology now that treats the biofilm left
behind”
“It's hard to move the needle when we play old
tapes”
“As Dental Professionals when we pick up that tube of
toothpaste it is important that we know what the ingredients are,
and what they do”
“You cannot ignore the user experience”
“Compliance is the name of the game in dental
hygiene”
“These receptors look for invaders and trigger our bodies
inflammatory response”
“The trick is to bind to make it stable, but release it to
make it bio-available”

toothpaste”
“You have _____, I am recommending ____ toothpaste for your
home-care to help treat that”
“I am prescribing this style of toothbrush, interdental brush,
toothpaste because of XYZ”

to patients”
