Product Summary
We recommend Curaprox PerioPlus+ Support Toothpaste for people dealing with advanced gum disease, because it has additional hard-working ingredients not found in the other toothpastes. The fluoride content is lower than I would usually recommend for regular use, but is particularly useful short-term, to treat and prevent later stages of gum disease.
Curaprox PerioPlusย contains chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), an antibacterial active ingredient. It is a strong antiseptic thatย works to significantly reduce the amount of bacteria-containing plaque in the mouth. By controlling bacterial growth, it helps improve gum health. CHX is not found in any other toothpaste, but is in some mouthwashes such as corsodyl.
Advanced gum disease can lead to tooth sensitivity and discomfort. Curaprox PerioPlus+ Support Toothpaste is designed to be non-mint and SLS-free, which can be more gentle for sensitive gums. SLS is used for the foaming effect in toothpaste, but can cause irritation for some people. Being SLS-free, this toothpaste reduces the likelihood of any adverse reactions, making it suitable for those with sensitivity.
The toothpaste contains additional active ingredients beneficial for gum health. Hyaluronic Acid and Chlorhexidine work together to support gum health and reduce inflammation associated with gingivitis. Sodium Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay, and Xylitol contributes to caries prevention.
