Top 5 Home Care Products
Whether purchased over the counter or provided by the dentist, there are many product choices for patients looking to maintain their oral health while at home. These five products received plenty of attention from the readers of Dental Products Report in 2019, and are helping patients do their part in delivering the best care possible to themselves when they’re outside their dentist’s practices.
PerioSpot™
PerioSpot is described as a powerful gum therapy gel designed to target harmful bacteria and inflammation on the spot. Formulated with Truly Natural® ingredients, this concentrated, sticky gel can be placed directly on the affected site to reportedly provide an antimicrobial boost of protection where the gums need it most. Indicated for both in-office treatment and patient home care, the therapy gel is said to be ideal for stubborn inflammation sites or to enhance periodontal care and protection after dental procedures.

XyliMelts®
OraCoat XyliMelts are oral-adhering discs that slowly release xylitol, a sugar substitute, to help relieve dry mouth and prevent caries. They’re all natural and designed to be easy to use, and they can be applied while sleeping when saliva flow is at its lowest. Said to last for hours, they moisturize and coat the mouth for optimal comfort. The mild mint flavor freshens your breath and the xylitol may reduce the risk of tooth decay.
