The DioxiCare® Active Chlorine Dioxide System supports a dentist's aggressive gingivitis treatment program that helps fights periodontal disease and promotes good oral hygiene and health.
Frontier Pharmaceutical's DioxiCare® System has been shown to help in the treatment of gingivitis which is found in 3 out of 4 adults over 35 years of age and provide an oral hygiene approach to gingivitis treatment. The direct cause of gingivitis almost always begins with plaque. This colorless, soft and sticky film is composed of bacteria that form constantly on the teeth and gums. Further, plaque forms on your teeth when starches and sugars in food interact with bacteria normally found in your mouth and DioxiRinse™ helps remove those bacteria.
What is Gingivitis?
Plaque that stays on your teeth longer than two or three days can harden under your gum-line into tartar. Tartar makes plaque more difficult to remove and acts as a reservoir for bacteria. Usually tartar cannot be removed by an individual's brushing and flossing; therefore, a professional dental cleaning is the required gingivitis treatment. The longer that plaque and tartar remain on your teeth, the more they irritate the "gingiva", the part of your gum around the base of your teeth. In time, your gums become swollen and bleed easily.
If the plaque is not removed by daily brushing and flossing, it produces toxins (poisons) that can irritate the gum tissue, causing gingivitis. At this early stage in gum disease, damage can be reversed, since the bone and connective tissue that hold the teeth in place are not yet affected. Left untreated, however, gingivitis can become periodontitis and cause permanent damage to your teeth and jaw.
