Cavex Oral Pre Rinse

Cavex Oral Pre Rinse has been developed as a pre-treatment for the execution of a dental procedure (e.g. bleaching treatment)

Cavex Oral Pre Rinse may only be provided to a patient by a dental professional. The prescribed 10-15 ml is dosed using the dosing bottle in a clean cup after which the patient can rinse the mouth for 30 – 60 seconds.

The main ingredients are: hydrogen peroxide to which bio-adhesive has been added for the right viscosity and foam condition. Erythritol with an antibacterial effect enhances the cleansing effect. Further additions of glycerin against dry mouth and a light mint flavor.

Hydrogen peroxide disintegrates into water and oxygen releasing active radicals. The radicals have a bleaching effect and are effective against microorganisms. The oxygen creates the foaming.

The addition of the bio-adhesive optimizes the foam, putting the radicals in the right place in the mouth. It is therefore important that the foam is thoroughly spat out after rinsing.
