Lozi-Flur
At Last, An Easy
Way to Protect Teeth
Fluoride Lozenges That Taste Great
| Lozi-Flur was
introduced in April of 1998. It became reality after almost 8
years of work by Dr. Robert E. Reed of Bakersfield, CA. The
concept of a low-dose long-duration lozenge delivery grew out
of Dr. Reed’s years of frustration over poor patient
compliance with other products he had been prescribing. |

All home-use fluoride products do an excellent job of preventing
decay, but most patients find them time consuming or difficult to use
and thus don’t make treatment a daily routine. Lozi-Flur has
eliminated the barriers to patient compliance. Patients love the taste
and convenience, and compliance, as reported by the dental offices
prescribing Lozi-Flur, has been excellent.
Lozi-Flur will benefit anyone who is prone to tooth and root surface
decay. It is even an excellent tool for those who do not routinely
develop decay, but who want to protect a healthy mouth and the
investment they have made in it. Email us for more information on how to get Lozi-Flur.
Lozi-Flur is beneficial to those who have dry mouth (xerostomia).
So
What If I Have a Dry Mouth?
Having a decreased flow of saliva has some serious
consequences. Heavy plaque and food accumulations tend to
occur with dry mouth (xerostomia). This can lead to tooth decay and
gum disease. Saliva is the body's self-cleansing mechanism. It helps
remove food, debris, and plaque from the tooth surfaces, which helps
protect against oral diseases.
Saliva also protects against cavities. It cleanses
the tooth surfaces and neutralizes acids, and in this way, protects
the tooth surface from tooth decay. People who have dry mouth
(xerostomia) are very susceptible to cavities, especially on the roots
of their teeth. One goal of treatment is to stimulate more saliva
production when xerostomia is severe.
How to
Control Dry Mouth
frequently sip water
keep fluids at bedside at night
chew sugarless gum
avoid tobacco, alcohol (including mouthwashes that
contain alcohol) and foods high in sugar
adjust the air humidity in your home
use a saliva substitute - this is a commercial product
which attempts to "wet" the mouth like saliva does; it
can be found in most pharmacies
establish a good plaque control program - since heavy
plaque accumulations occur with oral dryness
use the ClO-SysII Oral Care System with
with chlorine dioxide. These are only available from dental offices.
