PREVORA 100mg/ml Dental Solution is an antibacterial tooth coating containing 10% chlorhexidine.

PREVORA provides a long-acting protective barrier on your teeth that reduces the harmful bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease.

Used alongside your usual oral hygiene routine, PREVORA can help you regain control of your oral health.

PREVORA is used to improve oral health in adults at high risk of tooth decay.

Poor oral health is common in adults with one or more of the following:

• Personal history of tooth decay
• Family history of oral disease (tooth decay and gum disease)
• Dry mouth (saliva is important in oral health)
• Diabetes
• Dental implants, or preparing to undergo implant procedure
• Painful inflamed gums that hinder thorough brushing
• Difficulty with complying with dental hygiene routines for any other reason
• Residential care (elderly/social)

Talk to your oral healthcare professional to see whether PREVORA may benefit you.

PREVORA contains 10% chlorhexidine, a well-known antibacterial agent.

By forming a long-lasting protective barrier on your teeth, PREVORA controls the harmful bacteria that cause tooth decay and gum disease. This means that PREVORA can reduce further tooth decay and improve the discomfort, bleeding and inflammation associated with this.

Used alongside your usual oral hygiene routine, PREVORA can help you regain control of your oral health.

Improving your oral health can result in:

• Reduced further tooth decay
• Reduced gum bleeding
• Reduced swollen gums
• Reduced pain on brushing
• Better overall health (poor oral health is an important risk factor for various conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, dementia)

PREVORA is applied in your dental practice by your dental hygienist, therapist or nurse, and can often be included within your usual hygienist appointments.

The PREVORA solution is brushed onto your teeth and gums followed by a sealant coating. The process takes about 10 minutes, is painless, and provides long-lasting protection.

Applying PREVORA takes about 10 minutes and is painless.

Some people find it tastes bitter and mildly unpleasant. Others report a gritty sensation or notice an initial cloudy coating to their teeth. These effects are temporary and don’t affect how well PREVORA works. You may notice the dried coating coming off in due course – this is normal.

Some people notice an improvement within days. Improving oral health and maintaining these positive changes is, however, an ongoing process. Your dental professional will review your treatment response and advise on next steps.

No serious side-effects related to its use have been reported in over 20 years of experience with PREVORA.

However, PREVORA should not be given to anyone with a potential history of an allergic reaction to chlorhexidine-containing compounds or any of its other ingredients. If you have any known allergies or concerns, it’s important to inform your dental healthcare professional.

Following just a few simple instructions will help your PREVORA application remain effective for as long as possible.

These are:

• Avoid hard crunchy foods for the rest of the day
• Avoid acidic or high sugar drinks for the rest of the day
• No brushing for 12 hours after treatment – then brush as normal using a new toothbrush
• No flossing for 3 days after treatment – then floss as normal.

How often PREVORA is applied depends on how much help you need. For those with milder oral disease, PREVORA can be applied as part of your routine quarterly hygienist appointments. Some people require more frequent applications initially – a maximum of 4 applications over 3 weeks, followed by a maintenance application every 6 months.

Your dental professional will recommend a personalised PREVORA application schedule for you based on their clinical judgement.
