Periproducts has been successfully selling a range of highly effective, well researched and clinically proven fresh breath oral care products – RetarDEX® Oral Rinse, Toothpaste and Oral Spray – to the dental profession since 1993.

Bad breath is a serious problem that can affect many people and ruin their self-esteem, social and professional life; more importantly it can be an indication of more serious dental health issues such as gingivitis and periodontal disease¹. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene not just to combat bad breath but also to reduce periodontal problems which have been linked to some systemic conditions such as Diabetes, Heart Disease and Premature Births.

Whilst the BDA has estimated that approximately 30% of the population suffer from chronic bad breath at any one time, a survey conducted by Periproducts indicated that nearly 70% of those individuals questioned had experienced bad breath on someone else.

The simple fact is, whilst there are some medical reasons for bad breath, 90% of the source of oral malodour originates from within the oral cavity. Even offending foods, tobacco and certain mediation cause only a small percentage of bad breath problems.

Why not invest in the products clinically proven to get to the source of the problem?



RetarDEX Oral Rinse, Toothpaste and Oral Spray are proven to eliminate the volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) associated with bad breath, on contact, for at least 8 hours². The active ingredient in this range of oral healthcare products also de-activates amino acids and has a high bacterial kill rate reducing the bacteria associated with the build-up of plaque, tooth decay and gum disease.





OOLITT® eXcel Tongue Cleanser, for more effective oral hygiene and fresher breath. The use of a tongue cleanser combined with tooth brushing can reduce the VSC associated with bad breath by up to 85%³. This is because the tongue coating is generally believed to be one of the main sites of VSC compound production in orally healthy subjects whose bad breath is mainly caused by Hydrogen Sulphide.⁴



Denti®-Brush Wire Free Interdental Brushes, are designed for a more effective approach to cleaning between the teeth where hard to reach organic debris can cause an increase in bacterial activity and VSC responsible for bad breath. They are wire-free helping to eliminate gingival trauma and galvanic shock, which makes them particularly useful to use during the fixing of implants. The rubber-like tips are coated with Sodium Fluoride and adapt to different interdental spaces up to 0.3mm



Denti®-Brush Interproximal Brushes, another extremely effective way of removing plaque and food particles from interdental spaces where hard to reach organic debris can cause an increase in bacterial activity and the production of VSC responsible for bad breath. The main benefit is that each brush has a flexible handle and brush to increase control and access to difficult areas. Unlike other brushes, the tip has been specially designed with a unique pivot technology allowing it to bend easily minimising potential breakage.


RetarDEX Fresh Breath Kit, This kit is an ideal marketing tool for any fresh breath management you may be offering, including multiple hygiene appointments. The full RetarDEX range of products contained in this kit can be used to complement the focus of a practice that encourages patients to maintain a healthy mouth, fresh breath and share responsibility for their own periodontal health. To complement these products an OOLITT eXcel Tongue Cleanser and Denti-Brush Wire Free interdental brushes are also enclosed.
