Category 134 AustrAlAsiAn Dentist the sort of people who knew, decades ago, that every dentist should keep plants in their practice – for the sake of respecting their ancestors, and their lineage, as well as comforting their patients, as well as themselves. Dentists knew this too, in a funny, almost subliminal way. that’s what fish tanks were for. Weren’t they? to remind us of the tranquil pleasures of the living earth, as we grewmore and more separated from her – in the spaces we created, and the inspiration we sought. so – there it is – praise for the humble pot plant: hero of our every day, holy relic of our roots, and possibly the gentle ambassador of our future horizons too. u wonder and worry about the effects of fluoride – especially – and of titanium dioxide, glycerine, sodium lauryl sulphate, artificial sweeteners and the plastics they come in. the profession could get prickly about such concerns and even of the associated criticism, or it could get excited about exploring the treasures in its own roots, and seeing what marvels may yet await us there, as we continue the brilliant adventures in curiosity and discovery that conceived our science in the first place. Brushing our teeth with boar bristles, or willow bark, or rough leaves, or corn cobs, as i have seen still, in south America, may very well catch on again one day soon, as humanity careers steep left against plastics, disposables and hi- techery. As the uncomfortable side-effects of the progress cult trigger fantastical and creative new markets in conscious products, and alternative health. there is a surging market already in bamboo toothbrushes, in charcoal-based toothpastes, in herbal ones and products using clove and other ancient anti- bacterials, pain relievers and fresheners, from nature’s own pantry, and not from the lab. there are things about what ‘the lab’ is doing that are beginning to unsettle the public nerve, as well as the ethics of animal rights, toxicity and mental health activists. s earching for the world’s best and most powerful topical gel? We looked worldwide to realise that topical has not really improved in decades. We wanted a fast acting, deep numbing gel, with the right viscosity that tasted great and was easy to dispense chairside. We could not find one that was registered in Australia, or anywhere else in the world for that matter – so we set out to develop one of our own for our own practice. Did you know studies have proven 20% Benzocaine equals 5% lidocaine Hydrochloride for potency so 15% lidocaine HCl has three times the potency and onset of any 20% Benzocaine or 5% lidocaine product? We set out to develop a great value solution that our dental team wanted and patients loved. After decades of work YuM Bubblegum topical is here. YuM Bubblegum Dental™ developed by a dental team for dental teams YuM Bubblegum Dental™ costs less per ml; three times stronger and works faster than any other registered topical globally – so practical and great value – compare what you are using today! Patients love YuM for pain free injections. it’s safe, smells and tastes great Is your topical this amazing? YuM Bubblegum Dental™ 15% lidocaine hydrochloride gel is the most potent with the quickest onset of any topical gel. Our proprietary gel base allows fast penetration so we can get on with our treatment. in an aqueous base lidocaine hydrochloride is the safest and fastest way to numb lidocaine is the only amide-based local oral topical anaesthetic that is also used as an injectable anaesthetic. in dentistry, lidocaine is normally used as a 2% or 5% gel, 2% solution, 4% or 5% solution, 5% ointment, or 10%spraynormally. the onset of action is approximately three minutes and duration of action is approximately 15 minutes, with peak efficacy occurring at five minutes. YuM is 15% lidocaine HCl with faster onset and longer numbing time, as reported by dental practices. Is your topical 15% Lidocaine? HCL lidocaine is a very short acting local anaesthetic originally discovered in the 1940s. it is comprised of synthetic aminoethylamide, and is commonly used as a numbing agent, working by inhibiting sodium channel ion flux, thus blocking nerve impulses. topical anaesthetics are highly useful for reducing discomfort, pain, and anxiety during dental procedures. Combine a great base and a powerful anaesthetic and you have YuM Bubblegum Dental ™ Does your topical work in 20 sec, is the onset slowing you down? normally lidocaine 5% ointments have a similar potency to 20% benzocaine, its onset of action is more delayed, requiring at least three minutes to achieve adequate anaesthesia. YuM starts acting in around 20 seconds. this is why we developed YuM Bubblegum topical to improve productivity; we can get more work done on each patient or add another appointment each day. YUM is great value. Is yours? Cheaper for three times the bang is what we wanted, in a vacuum pump pack with no waste that can be used chairside easily. Value relates to both a great price and a powerful action. Our chairside team helped develop a practical pump pack that expressed just what we needed, easy to use, store and have chairside. the 50ml size lasts about one month per chair, so ordering is also made easy. We want to use every drop. We challenge you to try it! YuM is currently a compounded product with strict order protocols and is now going through the tGA drug approval process, which is based on reliable scientific data and ensures that a marketed drug is safe, effective, properly manufactured and accurately labelled. it will be the most powerful topical dental gel when registered. Documentation is lodged after many years of comprehensive trialling and testing.
