Uses
Cheerio Gel (Sodium Monofluorophosphate) is a medicated fluoride toothpaste that comes in the form of an oral gel. It is considered to be effective at preventing tooth enamel from being attacked by harmful bacteria, and protecting against cavities and tooth decay. Bacteria in the mouth can take the form of plaque, which is a sticky film that adheres to the teeth. Regular brushing with this toothpaste can help with plaque removal, which is essential for dental hygiene, as plaque can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
Dosage and Administration
Regular dental hygiene checkups are essential for oral health, and most dentists will recommend brushing twice daily with a toothpaste such as Cheerio Gel (Sodium Monofluorophosphate). Your dentist will also be able to recommend the best toothbrush for you, taking into account the size of the brush and whether or not soft or hard bristles are best suited to you. Each individual's oral health needs will be taken into account by any dentist when recommending a suitable toothpaste. In order to maximise plaque removal and minimise damage to the teeth, instructions on how to properly brush the teeth may also be given to you by your dentist.
Side effects
Side effects from using Cheerio Gel (Sodium Monofluorophosphate) are unlikely if it is used as directed, however, if you have any concerns, visit your doctor or dentist.
Precautions
After brushing, the toothpaste should be spat out and not swallowed, as if it is ingested frequently, dental fluorosis or sickness is possible. It is also important to note that swallowing large amounts of this toothpaste can be toxic, and this should be avoided.
