The cleaning power of a dental polishing paste is determined by the type of cleaning particles as well as the power of the prophylaxis used. This means that the contact pressure, treatment time, polishing medium or polishing carrier and the rotation speed used all play important roles.

Prophy cups are usually used as polish carriers, but the user should especially ensure a child-oriented, pleasant atmosphere during individual prophylaxis. Tasty pastes contribute experience, as do “treatment aids” such as the disposable prophy angles with animal designs. Children get to meet Zoe the zebra or Talon the tiger and are encouraged to participate more actively in their treatment, e.g., opening their mouths wider.

Prophy polishing pastes are used in individual doses according to the latest hygiene guidelines. These pastes can be used with an autoclavable finger holder, held close to the workplace. Ideally, these paste finger holders are in a special container for individual paediatric prophylaxis and are selected by the children themselves before treatment begins.

A turtle, a hippopotamus, or an alligator on your finger? What child wouldn’t be thrilled to receive such fantastic support during prophylactic treatment?

The animal-shaped paste finger holder enables the practitioner to work efficiently. The adhesive consistency of the paediatric polish pastes keeps splatter out of the surrounding area. Soft, creamy textures enable perfect application on the tooth surface.

Allergic reactions to certain ingredients can emerge as early as childhood. That’s why paediatric polish pastes without gluten, lactose, flavourings, or preservatives are also available for individual prophylaxis. The prophylaxis range also includes fluoride-free prophy pastes for children in case a filling is scheduled during the same appointment.
