Product recommendations

On the first encounter with the patient you can find a problem that stands out as their biggest be it caries, periodontal or tooth wear. A product can then be recommended as an intervention with or without operative intervention. Oral health promotion is key as the patient is in charge of their own oral health and it is impossible for the dentist to be constantly watching for problems to arise. Prevention is the best cure.
