Proflo Ortho Mouthwash contains Sodium fluoride, a mineral. It prevents cavities/decay by making the enamel resistant to the decay caused by acids and bacteria. It further strengthens the tooth enamel by mineralisation. 

Use Proflo Ortho Mouthwash as advised by the doctor. Common side effects of Proflo Ortho Mouthwash include nausea, vomiting, stomach upset and gum irritation. These side effects are not familiar to everyone and may vary from person to person. Most side effects do not require medical attention and typically resolve over time.

Uses of Proflo Ortho Mouthwash

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash is used in the treatment of dental cavities. The detailed uses of Proflo Ortho Mouthwash are as follows:

  • Cavity Prevention: Proflo Ortho Mouthwash strengthens tooth enamel by promoting the formation of fluorapatite, a mineral more resistant to acid than natural enamel.
  • Treatment of Tooth Sensitivity: Proflo Ortho Mouthwash helps reduce discomfort from exposed dentin by reinforcing enamel and reducing nerve exposure.
  • Early Enamel Repair: Proflo Ortho Mouthwash aids in remineralizing early signs of tooth decay before cavities fully form.

Directions for Use

  • Oral Drops/Liquid: Shake the bottle well before use. Take the recommended dose by mouth using the pack's measuring cup/dosing syringe/dropper.
  • Mouthwash/Mouth Rinse: Use it after brushing your teeth with toothpaste. Take the recommended dose/quantity of mouthwash/mouth rinse. Swish it in the mouth for 30 seconds to one minute vigorously and spit it out. Do not swallow. Do not eat or drink for 30 minutes post-rinsing your mouth.
  • Toothpaste/Gel: Apply an inch strip of toothpaste/gel on a soft-bristled toothbrush and brush your teeth for at least a minute. Spit out after use and thoroughly rinse your mouth with water. Do not swallow the toothpaste while and after brushing your teeth.
  • Chewable tablet: Take the chewable tablet by mouth. Chew it completely before swallowing.
  • Lozenge: Place the lozenge under your tongue and allow it to dissolve.

FAQs

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash belongs to the class of anti-cavity agents, primarily used to prevent dental cavities.

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash contains Sodium fluoride, which strengthens tooth enamel. It prevents cavity formation by making the enamel resistant to decay caused by acids and bacteria.

Bacteria, food, acid, and saliva combine in the mouth to form a sticky substance called plaque. The acid in plaque damages the teeth' enamel, leading to cavities. Cavities are caused by various factors, such as bacteria in the mouth, sugary drinks, frequent snacking, and not cleaning the teeth well.

Before using Proflo Ortho Mouthwash, it is recommended that you inform your doctor if you are suffering from kidney problems, joint pains, stomach ulcers, or mouth problems, such as discolouration of the teeth, mouth sores, or mucositis.

Calcium, magnesium, and aluminium may interfere with sodium fluoride's absorption. Hence, it is better to maintain an hour gap between sodium fluoride formulations and dairy products (milk, yoghurt), antacids, laxatives, and vitamins/minerals.

Otosclerosis is a type of bone growth in the middle ear that can cause hearing loss. Sodium Fluoride has been used to help manage otosclerosis by reducing bone growth and activity, improving hearing stability, and slowing down hearing loss progression. However, it's essential to note that Proflo Ortho Mouthwash may not cure otosclerosis, and its effectiveness may vary from person to person. Treatment should only be done under the guidance of a healthcare professional or an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist.

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash is prescribed for individuals diagnosed with otosclerosis to help slow its progression. It may be recommended for those in the condition's early stages or as part of a broader treatment plan. Please consult a doctor before using Proflo Ortho Mouthwash to determine if it suits you.

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash may take at least six months to show effects in stabilizing hearing, improving vestibular symptoms, and slowing tinnitus progression in otosclerosis. However, its effectiveness varies among individuals, and continuous use is often needed. Please follow your doctor's guidance for the best results.

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash may interact with various medications and supplements, including vitamins, antacids, and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and aluminium. To ensure safe use and avoid potential adverse effects, consulting a doctor before taking Sodium Fluoride with other medications or supplements is highly recommended.

Proflo Ortho Mouthwash cannot reverse hearing loss caused by otosclerosis. However, it may help to slow disease progression by strengthening bone structure and reducing further damage. Please consult your doctor for personalized advice and treatment.

The side effects of Proflo Ortho Mouthwash may include allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat. Other possible side effects are tooth colour changes, nausea, vomiting, severe stomach pain, and unusual weakness or fatigue. Please consult a doctor if any of these side effects persist or worsen.
