Turn on tap, place mouth close to the sink and spit carefully below the running water. Rinse your mouth with water then use your regular fluoride toothpaste and floss. Recommendations: As a dentist, it is important to point out to your patients that the use of LoveSmiles Teeth Whitening charcoal powder should not replace their twice-daily brushing routine with the usual fluoride toothpaste because brushing with fluoride toothpaste helps the teeth to re-seal themselves. Users should also continue with their regular bi-annual dental checkups. Also, yes, users should as much as possible, avoid consumption of foods and drinks that are acidic or can stain the teeth, including soft drinks, coffee, red wine, tea, or any other enamel discolouring product. For best results, we recommend patients use LoveSmiles teeth whitening powder twice in the first week and once a week after that until they achieve their desired effect. Users can resume teeth whitening once they notice fresh discolouration. To help the teeth reform VisCalor bulk – thermoviscous bulk fill composite Combines the benefits of both flowable and carvable materials For dentists, restorative treatments are an everyday procedure. Depending on the type of cavity, there are various options available. If an adhesive technique is selected, there is then another decision to be made. Dentists often start by using a flowable composite, which flows optimally onto the cavity walls in the area of the cavity floor, but is then difficult to carve. To solve this problem, the dentist either uses a carvable material as an additional layer, or alternatively may decide to use a carvable bulk composite right from the outset, which can be placed in a single step. The job of deciding which technique to use is now a thing of the past because with VOCO’s VisCalor bulk, there is now a new composite that combines the benefits of both techniques (composite bonded to flow). VisCalor bulk is the world’s first restorative material with “thermoviscous technology”, which has been specially developed for heating up. The extraoral warming means that the composite can initially be placed in the cavity in flowable form, but then changes its consistency within a few seconds to become carvable. VisCalor bulk is heated to approx. 68°C before it can be applied. It is also a 4 mm bulk material and does not need to be applied in layers. VisCalor bulk is available in four shades (A1, A2, A3, universal) and covers the entire indication range for classes I, II and V restorations. u new products from Voco ceram.x®universal composite has a new name ceram.x® universal is now Ceram.x Spectra™ ST It’s the same formula ceram.x®universal users know and love, now with a new name to accommodate exciting additions to the portfolio coming in 2019!

I was super impressed when after only 3 nights of use my teeth whitened from an A1 to a B1. It has so many positives…. short duration of use (5 min compared with 1 hour), non-toxic (compared with chemical intake of regular bleach), organic, tasteless, non-abrasive, a generous amount, no gingival burning or tooth sensitivity. Even the bathroom mess that follows is easily wiped off. I love having a non-toxic, non-sensitive alternative to offer our patients, and the fact it has a long shelf-life is also a huge benefit. I’ve even had some feedback of composite restorations appearing brighter, which would make sense with the mechanism of action being stain absorption. It has already been a popular product with our patients.” – Dr Annette Moulton If you are yet to stock LoveSmiles Whitening products contact: Orien Dental Supplies or visit www.lovesmilesteeth.com/wholesale/
