Consumer Medicine Information
What type of product is NeutraFluor 5000 Plus
NeutraFluor 5000 Plus is a high concentration sodium fluoride toothpaste for use by patients who have a high risk of dental decay (caries).
Scientific research concludes that when toothpaste containing a relatively high amount of fluoride is applied to the teeth it offers increased protection against acid attack from decay causing bacteria in the mouth.
What is in the product
This toothpaste contains fluoride, and each treatment dose, ie a thin ribbon of paste on a toothbrush contains 2.5mg fluoride ( 5,000ppm sodium fluoride). The toothpaste also contains a number of other ingredients. These are necessary to facilitate the consistency, flavour, foaming and cleaning actions of the toothpaste. These ingredients include silica, sorbitol, saccharin, polyethylene glycol, gum, flavour, sodium benzoate, sodium laurel sulphate, titanium dioxide, sodium hydroxide and brilliant blue colour.
NeutraFluor 5000 Plus is registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods and its number is Aust R 67437. NeutraFluor 5000 Plus comes in a 56g tube.
