Parodontax Science: Sodium Bicarbonate Formulation

Parodontax Toothpaste powered by 67% sodium bicarbonate**

Four times more effective at removing plaque compared with a regular toothpaste.*¹

*When compared following a professional clean and 24 weeks’ twice-daily brushing

67% sodium bicarbonate** gum health formulation enhances physical removal of plaque achieved by brushing²

Sodium bicarbonate penetrates the plaque layer, disrupting the sticky polysaccharide matrix and loosening the structural integrity of the biofilm, enhancing the physical removal of plaque.²

Targets plaque bacteria build-up along the gum lineSodium bicarbonate is shown to reduce the bond strength between dental plaque bacteria and the tooth surface²
Tackles the main cause of gum problems Parodontax Toothpaste with sodium bicarbonate removes more plaque than non-sodium bicarbonate toothpastes, especially in hard-to-reach areas^1,3

Biofilm confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images

Sodium bicarbonate facilitates plaque biofilm removal²

In an in vitro study, confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) images of 14-day biofilms (green in images) showed that 67% sodium bicarbonate** treatment removed a large proportion of biofilm growth. Prior to treatment, CLSM revealed a substantial multilayered structure in the mature biofilms, which was reduced to a single layer of cells after treatment with 67% sodium bicarbonate**.²

Parodontax toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate** – superior plaque removal, reduces gingival inflammation, reduces bleeding gums^1,3

Significantly greater plaque removal after 6 months^†1

Parodontax toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate** supports a supragingival clean by removing 4x more plaque^† helping patients maintain superior plaque control between 6-monthly dental visits.¹

^†Compared to a regular toothpaste following a professional clean and 24 weeks’ twice-daily brushing
Significantly greater reduction in gingival inflammation after 6 months^†1

Parodontax toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate** is clinically proven to support patients’ gum health, significantly reducing gingival inflammation by 34% after 6 months of twice-daily brushing.^†1

^†Compared to a regular toothpaste following a professional clean and 24 weeks’ twice-daily brushing
Significantly greater reduction in bleeding gums after 6 months¹

Parodontax toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate** is clinically proven to support patients’ gum health, significantly reducing gingival bleeding by 48% after 6 months of twice-daily brushing.^†1

^†Compared to a regular toothpaste following a professional clean and 24 weeks’ twice-daily brushing
Up to 56% more plaque removed in hard-to-reach areas³
In a 60-second brushing study vs. regular toothpaste, Parodontax toothpaste with 67% sodium bicarbonate** started working from the first brush, removing more plaque in hard-to-reach areas:³
