Retainer Gel
Many patients experience oral acidity caused by xerostomia from acid reflux or different medications. Teeth can be damaged by this acid even when covered by a dental appliance. Retainer Gel is worn inside appliances at night, neutralizing acids with baking soda and reducing the occurrence of morning breath. Other key ingredients include xylitol and calcium carbonate, known for their bioactive properties. For more information, visit retainergel.com
