Oral Care at Its Best

|
Oral health is your gateway to overall health and wellness. Oral health is more than just a set of good teeth and healthy gums, it also affects some of our most basic human functions, enabling us to eat, breathe and speak.
As the adage goes, prevention is better than cure. Practising good oral hygiene daily is akin to investing in your overall health. Consciously adopting preventive measures allow you to take charge of your oral health and look forward to a brighter and healthier future.
|
1) Brush Your Way to Healthier Teeth Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each time. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and replace it every three months, or sooner if bristles are splayed. Make it a habit to brush your tongue and floss daily. |
|
2) Night-time Tooth Brushing It is important to brush your teeth before bedtime as bacteria on your teeth produces acids that attack tooth enamel while you sleep. As saliva levels are lowest while sleeping, night-time tooth brushing reduces the natural defence against cavities. |
|
3) Schedule Twice-Yearly Dental Check-ups Six-monthly visits to your dentist help improve your smile, prevent plaque and tooth decay, and stop gum disease as your dentist can clean your teeth more thoroughly than you can otherwise brush at home. |
|
4) Maintain a Healthy, Low Sugar Diet Cavities develop when bacteria in the mouth metabolize sugars to produce acids that destroy tooth enamel. Thus, it is important to stick to a diet low in fat and sugar. |
Oral Health Affects Your Overall Wellness

|
|
1) Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate An excellent cleansing and foaming agent, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate penetrates and loosens surface deposits, and suspends debris from the tooth. It is non-toxic, non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and known to be extremely gentle on the tooth. |
|
2) Sorbitol Sorbitol is added to LY Dentifrice Mousse to keep it soft, smooth and moist. It is also used as a humectant to provide a sweet taste and cooling sensation while keeping the formation of bacterial plaque low. Because sorbitol is non-cariogenic, it is not metabolized by oral bacteria in the mouth that converts sugars and starch into acids, leading to cavities and erosion of the tooth enamel. |
|
3) Glycerol A humectant, glycerol effectively holds onto water, keeping LY Dentifrice Mousse moist and preventing it from drying out. This sticky liquid also reduces bacterial activity and has a protective action against tooth decay. |
|
4) Cimicifuga Racemona Root Extract Cimicifuga racemona root boasts antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and is especially beneficial in the treatment of dry mouth. |
|
5) Gentian Lutea Root Extract Gentian lutea root has anti-inflammatory properties that stimulate the production of saliva in the mouth. It also helps soothe inflamed tissues and has anti-bacterial and anti-microbial actions to improve blood flow to damaged tissue, speeding up the healing time. |
|
6) Agastache Rugosa Extract In addition to having antibacterial, antifungal and aromatic properties, agastache rugosa imparts a spearmint-licorice scent, lending an appealing aroma to LY 41a Dentifrice Mousse, making tooth brushing a pleasurable experience. |
|
7) Eugenia Caryophyllus Extract Eugenia Caryophyllus is a useful ingredient for periodontal disease prevention. Commonly used as an antiseptic agent, eugenia caryophyllus possesses anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects which keep unwanted germs at bay. |
|
8) Zinc Gluconate Zinc gluconate controls plaque, reduces halitosis (foul or unpleasant smell) in the mouth, and inhibits calculus formation (a form of hardened dental plaque). It also contributes to healthy teeth formation. |
Convenient, travel-friendly and water-conserving, LY Dentifrice Mousse functions as a normal toothpaste or mouthwash. Simply pump a sufficient amount directly into the mouth and use, as required. Page 4 of 4
For brushing
Use a soft and dense bristle toothbrush to gently brush all sections of the teeth, inside and out. Remember to brush your tongue as well to remove any last traces of bacteria and freshen your breath. Rinse thoroughly.
As a mouthwash
After a heavy and oily meal or sugary drink, gargle with LY Dentifrice Mousse for 30 seconds before spitting it out. Rinse just once. This allows the active ingredients to work more effectively when they stay in your mouth and on your teeth longer.
