NeutraFluor 5000 is a high-fluoride toothpaste designed to strengthen enamel and significantly reduce your risk of decay and sensitivity. Most standard toothpastes contain around 1,450–1,650 ppm fluoride.

NeutraFluor 5000 contains 5,000 ppm fluoride, approximately three times the fluoride concentration of regular toothpaste.

This high concentration makes it especially effective for:

• Decay-prone teeth

• Dry mouth or reduced saliva

• Acid erosion

• Exposed roots

• Orthodontic treatment (braces/aligners)

• Ongoing tooth sensitivity

• Patients with a history of multiple fillings

How high-fluoride toothpaste works?

Your enamel is made of hydroxyapatite crystals. Acid exposure dissolves these crystals, causing demineralisation.

Fluoride protects your teeth by:

1. Converting hydroxyapatite into fluorapatite, which is more acid-resistant.

2. Speeding up remineralisation by helping calcium and phosphate redeposit into enamel.

3. Reducing sensitivity by sealing microscopic dentine tubules.

How to use it?

1. Apply a pea-sized amount.

2. Brush gently for two minutes, ideally once daily at night.

3. Use the Bass Technique:

   • 45° angle into gumline

   • Small vibrating motions

   • Focus on gum–tooth junction

   • Avoid harsh scrubbing

4. Spit out, do not rinse.

   • If eating or drinking soon, rinse lightly after 30 minutes.

   • If going to bed, spit only, no rinsing.
