Rox gel for strengthening teeth for children. Reviews

Preparations for strengthening teeth for children are included in the list of products necessary for oral hygiene. Such substances protect the tooth enamel, preventing the early development of tooth decay. One of these drugs is Rox gel - it does not contain fluoride, and its use is approved by the Russian Dental Association. Low cost in comparison with similar products make it a sales leader.

Active ingredients

Rox gel for strengthening teeth for children is produced in a blue cardboard box, with a tube of substance inserted there. The weight of the gel is 45 g / 35 ml.

The 1st such package contains the following composition:

• Polysorbat-20.
• Calcium glycerophosphate.
• Water.
• Xylitol.
• Magnesium chloride.
• Flavoring agent.
• Glycerol.
• Methylparaben.
• Hydroxypropyl Guar.
• Hydroxyethyl cellulose.

This set of ingredients is an effective remineralizing system that was created using advanced biotechnology. Its main components are calcium and phosphorus. In order for these 2 substances to actively interact with each other, as well as to enhance their effectiveness, magnesium was added to the composition.

Magnesium is the engine of the interaction between calcium and phosphorus. Without it, these 2 minerals will not be able to work on tooth enamel. The gel also contains xylitol, an important element that helps fight tooth decay. Thanks to this, the drug becomes not only remineralizing, but also with a pronounced anti-caries effect.

It should be noted that Rox gel is also sold in a similar purple packaging. Its full name is "Medical Sensitive". However, other substances are clearly expressed in this tool. They are used only in situations where there are additional components associated with increased sensitivity of dental tissue. This medication is not recommended for use by persons under 18 years of age.

Terms of sale

Rox gel for strengthening teeth for children is dispensed from pharmacies without a doctor's prescription. The average price for the drug is 400 rubles. The drug is also sold by retail chains that are not related to pharmaceuticals. Therefore, this product can be purchased in a large store, in the department of hygiene products. At the same time, it often falls into the list of goods for shares, which is why the cost of the gel drops to 320 rubles.

Mechanism of action

In today's aggressive environment, dental tissue is constantly faced with situations during which it loses its mineral content. For example, people abuse sour, sugary and carbonated drinks. Children especially love to abuse unhealthy food.

The consequence of this is the appearance of white spots or stripes on their teeth. Such a deviation from the usual appearance of the enamel is a sure sign of a lack of minerals. Their deficit must be restored. In cases where there are special situations (dry mouth, lack of salivary fluid), it is worth taking measures to compensate for superficial demoralization.

Rox gel is suitable for solving all these problems. Its composition is the most balanced, with the right combination of substances.

The components included in the gel have the following effect on the dental tissue:

Substance	Action
Compound of magnesium, calcium and phosphorus	Strengthening of tooth enamel, intensive saturation with minerals. They are sources of structural components of dental tissue.
Xylitol	Protection against microorganisms that cause tooth decay and gum disease. Increases the remineralizing effect of the product.
Other components of the composition	They preserve the whiteness and natural shine of the dental tissue, slow down the penetration of foreign coloring pigment into its structure, which darkens the white color.
Calcium	It is able to restore the whiteness of the enamel and strengthen it.

Under the influence of saliva, active ions are formed from glycerophosphate, which can easily penetrate into the tooth tissue. The compounds of the main components of the product create an invisible film on the enamel, which ensures the penetration of minerals into the tissues. The effectiveness of the use of the product is confirmed by research. The unique formula of the gel is confirmed by patents and is a unique development of scientists.

Who is the remedy shown to?

Rox gel for strengthening teeth for children becomes a good source of compounds of magnesium, calcium and phosphorus. They are easily absorbed in the body and do not cause complications. The special components of the product create an invisible film on the upper covering of the teeth, which retains the active components of the gel. Gradually, all the necessary minerals enter the enamel tissue.

Rox gel is used primarily to strengthen teeth. This is especially important for children, because their oral cavity needs constant care. A growing body uses an incredible amount of minerals, which can lead to a deficiency of nutrients. Dentists also recommend using the gel for hypoplasia and underdevelopment of the enamel.

Also, the gel is effective for eliminating visual imperfections in the following diseases:

• Fluorosis.
• Wedge-shaped defect.
• Erosion.

The composition of the product allows you to reduce the sensitivity of the dental tissue, as well as to give it shine. Due to the active ingredients, the enamel is brightened by 2 tones (the VITA classical scale is taken into account). At the same time, there are no aggressive bleaching ingredients or peroxide substances in the gel.

The whitening effect is achieved by saturating the dental tissue with minerals. This feature of the gel is taken into account by medical professionals. Therefore, it is recommended for people undergoing chemotherapy and radiation exposure.

The indication for the use of Rox-gel is the period after the removal of dental braces. The product helps to restore the appearance of the enamel. The drug has also shown its effectiveness in caries in the period of the white spot. Also, the gel is recommended to be used to restore the microflora of the oral cavity. If there is a mineral deficiency in the dental tissue after the whitening procedure, then the gel allows you to compensate for it. For this, the dentist prescribes a course of treatment for the patient.

It is recommended to use the gel for those categories of people who do not want fluoride to enter the body.

For example, these are patients with diseases:

• Violation of mineral metabolism.
• Malfunctions of the thyroid gland.
• Kidney stone disease.
• Osteoporosis.
• Renal failure

There is no fluoride in the composition of the product, and therefore Rox-gel is suitable for regions in which there is an endemic situation with fluoride in tap liquids. In general, the agent is suitable for use in a variety of clinical situations. Therefore, a consultation with a dentist will allow you to get recommendations on the use of this drug.

Method of administration and dosage

After the procedure of complex whitening of the tooth enamel, a two-week or four-week course is prescribed. A very important point is the absence of fluorine in the gel. Therefore, this product will not be harmful if swallowed (especially important for preschoolers).

Rox gel for strengthening teeth for children is used according to the following technology:

1. The teeth are cleaned with a brush and paste.
2. Apply 1 drop of the product to the brush cleaned of the paste.
3. Distribute the product evenly over all teeth.

It is recommended to refrain from food and drinks for 30-50 minutes after applying the gel. Use 2 times a day: after 1 meal and before bedtime. Can be used as a regular preventive oral care product.

It should be borne in mind that Rox gel is included in a series of hygienic oral care products. Therefore, dentists recommend using it in combination with toothpaste from the same manufacturer. Suitable options would be R.O.C.S. Pro Baby. It is suitable for children aged 0 to 3 years. The product gently cleanses tooth enamel without damaging it. Protects the gums from inflammation. The product is hypoallergenic. The line includes products with extracts of chamomile, quince or linden.

If the child is over 3 years old, then in the series of toothpastes it is worth looking for tubes with markings on which the permissible age for using this product will be indicated. The cost of products varies from 150 to 350 rubles.

The toothpastes of this manufacturer, like the gel, have a remineralizing effect, which is fixed by applying the appropriate gel. Such an integrated approach contributes to a good result from the procedure.

Some analogues

Rox gel for strengthening teeth for children is not the only drug on the market. Modern pharmaceuticals produces its analogue: “GC Tooth Mousse”. This tool is available with a composition in which fluorine is present in an amount of 0.2% or without it.

Mousse refers to remineralizing gels, which include phosphorus and bioavailable calcium. The product also contains the unique component Recaldent, which restores the deficiency of minerals in the dental tissue.

Recadient is a casein extract from cow's milk. This substance has a mild effect on the enamel. Even dental plaque is not an obstacle for him. The phosphorus and calcium ions included in the product help to restore damaged enamel. Thanks to minerals, it is remineralized, due to which the risk of caries is minimized.

Indications for the use of the product:

• Acute tooth sensitivity.
• Prevention of oral cavity from caries.

For this, a drop of gel is placed on the tip of the phalanx, and then rubbed into the enamel with gentle movements. Beforehand, hands are thoroughly washed with soap and water. As a result of application to the teeth, the mousse forms a protective film on their enamel, which prevents the penetration of harmful acids into the dental tissue.

For children, there are different tastes of the product:

• Vanilla.
• Mint.
• Strawberry.
• Multifruit.
• Melon.
